Songs you wish would be played in the stadium/on Gameday

[Buster Bluth]

I would like to hear NEW or UNUSED/OVERPLAYED songs
we are better than seven nation army...everyone and their brother does that stupid chant

That's why I suggested what I did.

I would like to hear some Bulls on Parade! Or how about The Red by Chevelle!

 

[Buster Bluth]

I feel like nearly everything said so far on here is based around a faulty line of reasoning - that the purpose of blasting this music in is to get the team pumped up. If ND players need music piped in over the speaker system to get pumped up to play in front of 80,000 people, we are totally screwed. The main goal of the songs should be to get the fans, specifically the student section, really, really loud. Most of the stuff mentioned so far, namely anything by Guns N Roses, ACDC, Black Sabbath, etc., does not resonate with the 18-22 year old upper middle class white kids who make up the vast majority of the ND student section. If you want to get the stadium really wild, you need songs that the student body knows the lyrics to and is willing to sing those lyrics along with the recording. For that, ND has to go to more of the classic pop route than the metal. Songs like Man In The Mirror (MJ), Take Me Home Tonight (Eddie Money), Jesse's Girl (Rick Springfield), and Livin On a Prayer (Bon Jovi) will do a lot more for the stadium atmosphere than overplayed classic metal tracks like Iron Man, Crazy Train, and Thunderstruck.

I can agree with this fully. I laugh at all of the metal being suggested on this thread. A bunch of old geezers stuck in the late 1970's/1980's!

Arcade Fire is a band that "18-22 year old upper middle class white kids" should be familiar with if they listen to even a modicum of new music.

Although if it had to be old stuff, I wouldn't mind Led Zepplin's Black Dog.

The goal of the "pump up" music isn't headbanging malarkey though, at least in my opinion. It's all loud vocals. A lot of the songs mentioned in this thread are nearly impossible to sing (well...yell). Even Black Dog fails in this regard.

You can yell Florida State's chant. You can yell Seven Nation Army. That's what makes it so great. You need a tune that 81,000+ people can yell and still have it be wonderful. Thus, I suggested Wake Up.

I can dig it!

I feel like a limp bizkit song would sound cool (no lyrics, obviously). I can't think of which one. But they have 'pump-up' style beats, though.

How about "Break Stuff" ?

This is literally the antithesis of a good pump up song. hahaha Still love ya HCTI.

Yeah totally agreed on both points. Love the Arcade Fire suggestion, Wake Up would be nuts. Other songs more in the Arcade Fire mold that I think would be great include Sex On Fire (Kings of Leon), Float On (Modest Mouse), Blitzkrieg Bop (The Ramones), Little Lion Man &/or The Cave (Mumford and Sons, but these may both be too slow), Semi-Charmed Life (Third Eye Blind), Viva L Vida (Coldplay), and of course pretty much anything by Bruce Springsteen.

I'm not a music savvy person at all. Can someone tell me who or what groups sing the songs played on the PA before the game (sounds like the main singer is female), and also the music played in the second half - i think that one start with pipes?
I'm not a ND alumni, but a long time fan, and I attended my first game yesterday to see the Irish beat BYU. I was more impressed than I could have imagined with the whole gameday experience.
Thanks

Irish Celebration would be my first choice but scotland the brave would be a good choice as well

Fields of Athenry by the Dropkick Murphys

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary when you're free
Against the famine and the Crown :awesomewo
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
