Drop "Thunderstruck" and return to the slow fight song for tip-off

[GregClausenForever]

Whom do we petition to get rid of "Thunderstruck" at tip?  It's so cliched.

I loved the slowly building fight song.  Way better.  And it makes for better over-the-head clapping by the student section.

Thunderstruck may be cliche, but it is now a staple and I for one prefer it to the slow fight song.

I've been saying that we need to go back to the slow to fast for years!

When Thunderstruck was played previous years there wasn't just the lame over the head clapping.  The students on the metal bleachers would jump up and land with a significant "BOOM BOOM!" during the Thun-dah part of the song in addition to normal clapping along. 

The student section is pretty weak this year.  Decent turnout but a general lack of spirit.

Hmmm, overplayed 30 year old stadium rock or our school fight song...let me see...yeah, fight song

I remember seeing Thunderstruck played to sports clips in the late 80s when I was a kid.  I was actually thinking "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas would be a good tip-off or intro song.

I really hope that you simply forgot to "teal" that last part of your comment.

Vomits and mouth and debates plans to never go to a Marquette game again.

I'm a fan favorite of when teams put on Phil Collins, in the air tonight. I know Penn state does it for football and the entire stadium goes crazy. It's kin of weird but it gets you amped up.

If Mike Tyson likes it, it's good enough for me...

The game atmosphere is too over-produced. They must think it's a crappy NBA team on the court.

Get rid of Thunderstruck, the big heads, cotton eye joe. Our fight song is tremendously underused

Why stop there?

Let's just have two people from each school playing NCAA Bball on Xbox over the jumbotron.

Go to a DePaul game... That's their intro song and its lame.

The Packers also do it before kickoff, it's a lame song from a stupid pop group.  Epic.Fail.

EDIT:

The fail is on DePaul and Green Bay, not on the poster who suggested using it.

Actually the song was not released until 1990.  I agree with the fight song.

I stand corrected.  Was worried it was getting a little outdated but I guess not...

[jficke13]

The only thing that I don't like about it is the slow clap. People are too stupid to pace it properly and it never times out to the tip right.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

My opinion is a 20 year old song is still outdated if overused as this one.

Yeah I should have put that in teal I guess.  They need a new song.

I went to a Duke game last year and the band played "Everytime we Touch" and the student section went absolutely nuts.  I know, I know, MU is not Duke and everyone hates that song.  Just impressive to see the reaction to a song like that.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

I was watching a game on TV during Xmas break against a slouch team that was sparsely attended and very quiet, might have been a nice snow that night.  Thought it was funny when they came back from a commercial and the band was playing Quiet Riot's Come on Feel the Noise.  This is when 20-40 year old songs come in handy.

As long as we're being particular, the song is "Cum on Feel the Noize".  That song is basically a Milwaukee anthem.

Believe me I know...just trying to keep it on the up and up and G rated.

Also it was originally by Slade.  Anyway, that song is really old but I like it better than Thunderstruck.  Haven't been to a game in a while but don't they still do "Where the Streets Have No Name" for intros?

[MU_4_Life]

If they dropped the song, how would opponents know they are about to be Thunderstruck?
