MORE INTRO MUSIC FOR SWINGING COLLEGE FANS
Gassed up on caffeine and 4 bucks worth of Subway’s finest, a few more suggestions for intro music that hasn’t happened yet, but should:
Navy “In the Navy,” by the Village People. The only thing all-male groups like more than an opportunity to prove how un-gay they are–like, say, swimming four miles with a knife in your teeth in a speedo made of C4 during your training as a Navy SEAL or something like that–is an opportunity to act totally gay without consequence. The breakdown of “We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!” would be side-splitting.

Mustaches galore on these guys.
UCF. We could go punny, like Kool and the Gang’s “Boogie Nights,” but we’d rather go regional-slapdown correct and suggest “Backstreet’s Back” by Orlando locals The Backstreet Boys. The best part is that EV-RAH-BAHHDAY in the stands would be rocking out to it like it was “Back in Black.” All right!
Fresno State. The SoCal environment…heavy handlebar mustache on the coach…a bad attitude…Pat Hill needs Def Leppard’s “Rock of Ages.” Unter gleeben globben globen…
Oklahoma. The bare expanse of Oklahoma plains calls for something spare…desperate…brutal…how about “Angel of Death” by Slayer? Fast death-metal start followed by classic screechy “YEEEEEEEyeaaaaggghhh.” Two fans might die every game from amped up, noodlin’ rednecks snapping their necks off headbanging in time with the nanosecond beats of the song.
Illinois. “Getting Better” by the Beatles. Getting so much better all the time…
Vandy. “West End Girls” by The Pet Shop Boys.
Ole Miss. “Slam” by Onyx. Only valid during Orgeron era. The Orgeron himself would run into the stands like a bull gone awry in Pamplona, slam dancing fans into blissful concussions before leaping into subspace, grabbing a satellite, and bringing it down on the opposing team’s water boy.

Any big rivalry game where the year prior you got rolled or jobbed by bad officiating: “The Payback” by James Brown.
For instance, it would make a good intro song for Vandy at home to UF next year.

Yeah, I was wondering what sort of stupid parents would name their kid “Stranko” and figured he must be from Russia or some shit.

Wisconsin already uses “Jump Around” — they play it, the student section literally starts jumping up and down as hard as they can, and supposedly it makes an entire part of the stadium shake. Typically my response to any such newfangled gimmick is “Oh, how precious” when the Big Ten tries it, but I guess it ain’t so bad.

Well, Mississippi State went this route and played “who let the dogs out” every 40 seconds for awhile.
Personally I’d like for UT to ditch Rocky Top and try on Neil Diamond’s “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s my brother”

Ozzy Osbourne – War Pigs (this is actually a badass intro song, and the name just makes it perfect – starts with the slow guitar solo and the drawn out first verse, and then just thrashes it)

Indiana, Duke, Baylor, Vandy: We’ve Got to Get Out of This Place (The Animals) (Big 10, ACC, Big 12, SEC respectively)
Auburn: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Lookin’ For (U2) (In reference to their penchant for ushering in a different mascot every full moon. See: Tiger, War Eagle, Plainsmen)
Ole’ Miss: Highway to Hell (Pyrotechnics delight as Ed Orgeron rises from the 50 yard line in a pyre of flames dressed as Mola Ram. By the time the other team realizes he is wearing a skirt made of human arms and a necklace of skulls, it’s too late. He’s already eaten the hearts of their top 2 players and filleted the team mascot with his bare hooves)

Nix: If UT band learned any gd song other than “Rocky Top”, then our work is not in vain. How about Beastie Boys ‘Heart Attack Man’? “He’s like the guy in the Hefty Bag commercial!!.. Weighs in at 275/Yeah, my man is lucky to be alive.”
And the Grand Madam of all song intros, The Who’s ‘Baba O’Reilly’ (read: you know, ‘Teenage Wasteland’) HAS to go to someone. It gets me more worked up than Gator bball games with “Where the Streets…”’s two-minute intro. What do y’all think? Who fights for the meals out there in the field?

Given The Orgeron’s domestic history, would “Smack My Bitch Up” be a little too on-the-nose? Prodigy’s killer beats would get the Vaught-Hemingway crowd pumped up … before the inevitable letdown of another loss to the Wyoming Cowboys.
I mean … Hotty Toddy!

Georgia uses “Baba O’Riley” in their pregame video montage which would be awesome if the stadium weren’t only half-full at that point.

Nothing ruins Sweet Home Alabama like seeing all the blue sport coat wearing frat-tards with mop-tops screaming “Roll Tide Roll” everytime they play that song at Bryant-Denny. Oh wait, everything else DOES ruin that song already. And in fact, I take secret delight in seeing masses of red-clad idiots singing lyrics about Watergate in 90,000 unison. What’s the percentage of people who crank that shit from their trucks or yell it at the stadium who even know who Neil Young is or what the lyrics are talking about. I guess I just should be thankful that we leave the Rebel flag waving shit to the “classless” rednecks at Ole Miss. Roll Tide Ya’ll.

Shit, I forgot “Wicked” by Ice Cube:
“One, Two, Three, and I come with the wicked”
“Play ya and I’ll slay ya”
“cause I’m the one with the mad fat skills,
And I won’t choke like the Buffalo Bills”
Obviously should be a dominant team from ouot West, which would mean SC. But I’ll give it to Zona, since allegedly Cube was taking correspondance classes at UofA when NWA initially blew up.
