Bleujayone Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 The NFL has issued a ban on Paul Francis Gadd aka Gary Glitter's music- "Rock & Roll Part 2" which was been a staple in most stadiums the world over. He was arrested by Vietnamese authorites, and was convicted of child sexual abuse charges in 2005-06. As of 2006, he is in prison in Vietnam, but he already was under fire in recent years for kiddie porn. As a result many teams are now striking his music from their sound system. The New England Patriots' sound system used to play that song right after the Pats would score a touchdown. Now they are looking for a new post-TD song.Pick the Pats' new TD SongThe choices are:*The 1812 Overture*Ain't Talking 'Bout Love- Van Halen*Elevation- U2*Song #2- Blur*Thunderstruck- AC/DC*Yeah- Usheror *OTHERSo what would you pick out of the choices above- or something else? We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'd go with a nice R.Kelly selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'd go with a nice R.Kelly selection. Or Michael Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How about sending someone out to record a new version of "Rock & Roll Part 2" so they can say it isn't Gary Glitter's song? If that doesn't work, "Thunderstruck" is good (or a more novel idea, write a fight song to play (a la the Ravens and Redskins)).EDIT -- Well played, again, YH.

NDwas Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 This is crazy insane. What does someone's personal life have to do with the greatest stadium anthem of all-time? Nothing. Grow up, NFL. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Why would they play the 1812 Overture? What does Russia smashing the French have to do with the Patriots? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 This is crazy insane. What does someone's personal life have to do with the greatest stadium anthem of all-time? Nothing. Grow up, NFL. Simple - the NFL doesn't want a pedophile receiving royalties due to their use of his music. It might be perceived as tarnishing the squeaky-clean, corporate image.

Simple - the NFL doesn't want a pedophile receiving royalties due to their use of his music. It might be perceived as tarnishing the squeaky-clean, corporate image. Which could blow my original theory of playing a cover, since Mr. Glitter would still receive royalties if he owns the publishing rights.

Squeaky-clean and ANY major sport do not belong in the same sentence.So who gets the royalties if the 1812 Overture is used? I heard Tchaikovsky killed someone. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

leopard88 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That one is probably safe since the 1812 Overture is presumably in the public domain by now.

DEAD! Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Once the NFL finds out Tchaikovsky was rumoured to be gay, then they will think twice about using the 1812 Overture ...... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief. Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That sucks. The Chiefs (and maybe some other teams) always chant "We're gonna beat the hell outta you" during the song.Thunderstruck is more of a song that gets you pumped up (like before the kickoff). It doesn't work for a touchdown celebration. Don't the Rams play a BTO song (I forget what it's called) for their touchdowns, because it sounds pretty cool.

Grow up, NFL. Simple - the NFL doesn't want a pedophile receiving royalties due to their use of his music. It might be perceived as tarnishing the squeaky-clean, corporate image. And yet songs done by alcoholics, wife-beaters, or drug addicts is just fine by them?A bit of a hypocricy here I would think.If the NFL banned all songs done by artists who've had a checkered past I think the only music they'd have left would be James Taylor and Huey Lewis........I've just been told James Taylor is also an ex-junkie and his songs will also be banned by the NFL moral police.

leopard88 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 ....I've just been told James Taylor is also an ex-junkie and his songs will also be banned by the NFL moral police. Big drug problem in the 70s, but he's hardly alone there.Let's see who is left --John Denver -- nope, alcoholicPaul McCartney -- drug arrests (and yet he performed at a Super Bowl)Jerry Lee Lewis -- pedophile (but at least he married her).How about Debbie Boone? Or Ted Nugent . . . he's all about clean living.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 What about Fidgit's "Hustle"? It samples from the old "NFL ON FOX!" theme, I believe. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Why would they play the 1812 Overture? What does Russia smashing the French have to do with the Patriots? Many people in America associate the 1812 Overture with the war of 1812. The historical illiteracy of my fellow Americans can be shocking sometimes. Insert Witty Signature Here.
