Good riddance. It must be the audio feed, but I can’t tell you what the vast majority of Sabres goal songs are. I mean Tage has 35 goals, and I don’t have a clue. Skinner’s Miley is the only inspired choice that sticks out. Krebs Back in Black is the only other one I know. Quote

Good riddance. PA, I’m breaking the streak. @Inky, there is no way those were consecutive games you were watching if it was twice a night. I guess I wasn’t the only one rooting for shutouts. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 19, 2022 Report Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) @inkman Let Me Clear My Throat is a certified jam. It should have been a fun goal song. It certainly could have been one. And sometimes it was. But the team was generally so bad and unlikable at that time ... there was no salvaging it. Btw, the formula here goes GOAL SONG SUCCESS RATING = QUALITY OF SONG x QUALITY OF TEAM AROUND TIME OF ADOPTION AS GOAL SONG Of this, there can be no doubt: The Bills' "Shout" song is pretty lame, in a vacuum and standing on its own. I'd venture that it's rank cheese, in fact. But it came along at just the right time. And now it is an anthem. @LabattBlue that was jeremy white's cause, IIRC. it struck me as trying too hard, too on the nose. Edited April 19, 2022 by That Aud Smell Quote

It's a pretty bad rendition of "Shout!" but it came along at the right time and is now part of the Bills' culture. Quote

When the Sabres were looking for a new goal song prior to “here we go now…” was selected, Jeremy was pushing hard for swords of a thousand men. Edited April 19, 2022 by LabattBlue Quote
inkman Posted April 19, 2022 Author Report Posted April 19, 2022 I gotta say, I never was indoctrinated with Better Days because I either didn’t go to games then as I was a broke or I didn’t watch when they played it (after games I think). Really glad I avoided that whole mess. Quote

Don't recall if the fight song was the same as the ditty Marv wrote and sang. 1 1 Quote

Wasn't it some different version of Shout that they tried to pass off when they decided the rights to the "good" one were deemed to expensive? But too many people hated it so they had to bite the bullet & bring it back. Quote

I remember Thurman Thomas stating something along the lines of, “If the fans boo after we score a touchdown one more time, I’m going to (be very upset). Quote

Sounds like Shout! didn't miss a beat in 93. https://wyrk.com/the-year-the-buffalo-bills-shout-song-was-almost-banned/ I still seem to recall a professional version of Marv's fight song being played instead of Shout! But it didn't last long. Would be a good topic for TBD. Quote

Wouldn't be surprised if that version was played once or twice at Rich but don't recall it being played there. (Only went to 4 games that season he wrote the song, so maybe it was played some.) Interesting question. Quote
