There is some of that in play, I suspect.

 

But I'm not above or beyond acknowledging that they "sold out" (or however you want to put it). I don't (won't) begrudge musicians their right to do that. It's hard to get paid out there in the world.

There is selling out and there is doing what vanilla ice did. He took it to a whole new level. The Goos curbed some of the metal aspects of their sound but they have always been a melodic catchy hook kinda band.

Like I said, those who dis the Goos without qualification are ill-informed, and would do well to learn some local music history.

 

Exhibit 1:

 

 

When I went to see the Goos during this era, it was a 2:1 guys to gals ratio at most shows. Lot of skaters, lot of punks.

I'll admit that if I had to choose I'd listen to their old stuff over their new stuff but that's fairly weak even by the "new punk" standards. It's much more upbeat and happy music geared towards surfers and skateboarders than the original premise of punk rock although they definitely have a ska influence from what little I watched of the video (I made it until the second whiny backup chorus, I just can't standy whiny vocals but the main singer was alright).

 

I'll echo the sentiments of We've though and while I don't begrudge them for trying to make a buck it's not going make me like it, listen to it, support it, or think it wasn't produced for the sole purpose of booking arenas full of teeny boppers.

 

Personally if I'm going to listen to ska punk I'll take the Voodoo Glow Skulls 10 times out of 10.

Imagine that, the dweeb got it wrong. The contest will not decide the goal song. And, yes, prick, you do hate the Sabres, as does your asinine henchman, the Down Goes Brown dude. Just total Internet asshats.

I'm pretty sure the contest decides the goal song.

I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the fan vote is part of the decision.   Can't find where I thought I read that.

Honestly, I think the entire town is thinking too narrowly here. 

Why have just a goal song?

 

How about a full blown Bollywood goal dance like at  some wedding in Lahore? @ 3:25

I like this post.

 

The illusion of choice.

 

You know the answer, but you do not know the question.

Actually, it's from 1959.

 

The Buffalo Bills specific version was recorded in 1987.  That's the year he was referring to.

I might not like Kim anymore if she condones these kinds of shenanigans.

 

Sure you will.  Someone will post her latest flirty Tweet pic on the forum and all will be forgiven. :wub:

I know. I was just pointing out that it wasn't a marketing jingle. It was an original song with the words rewritten.
