Thwomp! Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hadn't listened to either song until now, but voted for Let Me Clear My Throat. That version of the Swords of 1000 Men is not "exciting" enough imo to get the crowd pumped. Lesser of two evils, just like voting for President! :flirt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I hope they incorporate some LMCMT into the clip they play. True story: On the assumption that this song was a players' suggestion, I had a day dream wherein 90 and 15 incorporated a throat-clearing gesture as part of their goal celebrations.

LTS Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm pretty sure I emphasized that I didn't care what the name of the songs were or what the songs were about… I only asserted that you were not going to get grown men in the arena to shout "swords of 1000 men" out loud. LMCMT has no such awkward line. Sober grown men perhaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I hate the idea of urging the crowd to make some noooooiiiiiiizzzzze. The Sabres just scored a goal... ridiculous. It is the First Niagara Bank Lobby we're talking about, so there is that. At last count, I've voted over 800 times for "Swords." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I like the idea of Swords, particularly the idea of having a goal song that's somewhat personalized to the team (like the Buffalo Bills version of Shout). It's fun and identifiable. It helps the brand. But Let Me Clear My Throat is SO obnoxious that it's pretty much rubbing the goal celebration in the face of opponents while simultaneously making fun of the idea of goal songs. And if that isn't personalized to our team and what we want to be, then I don't know what is. We should be the team that has a goal song so obnoxious that it shits on everyone else's goal song. Let's own it. Wyshynski's not wrong: Then we get to that sax loop, and it’s just a party. I want to see 18,000 fans doing the Ed Lover Dance... Another thing about the sax loop: It’s unique and just annoying enough that the opponents will be sick of hearing it in a blowout, “Chelsea Dagger” style.

I can't get past the idea that a sax loop is more annoying that 20000 people singing at the top of their lungs. You can't sing LMCMT, therefore it's a bad choice.

That Aud Smell Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 And I know it's not everyone's speed, but the orignial promo video -- with guests Doug E. Fresh and the Diabolical Biz Markie -- is the sort of thing that makes me ... happy. That thing is a jam. I know it doesn't have the obvious natural sing-a-long part. But there's opportunities in there. Fwiw, I played the final song choices to 9 children aged between 8 and 16 yesterday. Each kid was called in to listen and vote alone. They went 11-for-11 in favor of LMCMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd probably lean towards LMCMT, but I'm honestly not thrilled with either of them. LMCMT lacks sufficient singability, and Swords lacks...I dunno, oomph? Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 They're so interestingly different. Throat is better for dancing (that's why kids like it better, they're always the best dancers at hockey games), but swords is a shout chorus. I'd probably lean more towards swords if we had an ideal version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two kids voted twice? Hanging chads? Ha! Man. I have no idea how that 11-for-11 came out. Weird. They were unanimous, in any case. And, now that I'm counting them up again (it was part of a soccer team at a pizza place, with a few siblings thrown in the mix), I realize there were 10.
