View Full Version : Gary Glitter: Gone but not forgotten

As If Gary Glitter Didn't Have Enough Problems Right Now
You know, it's a sad commentary that, in this day and age, a guy currently serving time in a Vietnamese prisonhttp://www.deadspin.com/assets/resources/2006/08/garyglitterscary.jpg for the statutory rape of 11 year old girls can't pump up the crowd at a football game. What's this world coming to?
The NFL has effectively banned stadiums from playing Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" after the Brit rocker was convicted of molesting underage girls in Vietnam, prompting a search for a substitute celebratory anthem. The Denver Broncos switched to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's "Go Daddy-o"; Kansas City Chiefs fans voted for P.O.D.'s "Boom."
Well, considering most of Michael Jackson's oeuvre is probably out, might we suggest some good-hearted music by ... uh ... OK, we don't know any rock bands who haven't had sex with girls under 18. Wait: Boy George. Boy George has probably never had sex with a woman under the age of 18. Who's up for "Karma Chameleon," yeah!

I wish Denver would have selected POD.

I wonder where we could find a list of all the music the "officially" play during games...

Only song I know that we play is that "We Ready" hip hop cut on kickoffs. Pretty good crowd pumping song.
How about some old-school Van Halen or something? (Pre-1984, of course.)

I like BBVD and they played halftime at the broncos game a few years back. The song can work if everyone repeats GO DADDY GO but POD's song rocks way more. Swing isnt the format for a crazed fan base that just saw their team score. How about Fort Minor? I dont mind the ban as it should have been years ago. Isnt like his recent arrest was his first. More like a rap sheet they is similar to a Faider fan w/o the molesting. Faider fan has no time for sex when he is on his violent criminal rampage.

I know they play "Celebration" after wins. Or at least they used to...

Normally, that would give me an upset stomach. But, since the 82 World Series Cards used that song when I was a kid (and it was actually popular)... I'll give it a pass.
I think each NFL team should have to pick exclusive songs to use. No copying other teams music. There's only like 80 billion songs in existence. You'd think we could avoid 30 teams using the same TD celebration song.
It could be like the draft. Teams with crappy records get first shot at whatever songs they want.

That sounds like an excellent excuse for another world famous Orange Mane draft... :wiggle:

So "I'm a loser , baby" by Beck would be for the Faiders?

Interesting - that's not what they played on Sunday. They played KC & Sunshine Band's "That the way I Like it".... I really thought that was gay...

The Chiefs are still using the song, but the stadium band is cranking it out karaoke style. Apparently he gets no royalties from that.

I know that song "Whoomp (There It Is)" is played out but the Tag Team Guys went to Manual High in East Denver. Points for the locals.

Funny how the MLB does not care about this guy or his song. I was at a World Champion White Sox game about 2 weeks ago & they played it a couple times that night during a comeback vs Yankees that ended up falling short with Thome hitting a dribbler to SS with tying runs on base.

I thought I read that he was not getting any royalties for this song anyway (not sure if he had sold the rights or something else but that point was discussed last spring. the NFL's request was not to stop because of royalties but simply to not "honor" his work). We'll see what happens in KC over the season. Those guys will be jonsing when they have to give that song up - not sure if they even know how to come up with something different and unique there. They'll have to wait until someone else does something popular and then steal it...

Um, the whole reason we want to keep the song is because we have a unique and different chant that goes with it. No other stadium has that chant.

Your little pederast chant can be replaced, too.

No, it can't. We've been doing it for 15 years. It's tradition. Donk fans wish they had a touchdown chant.

Actually - the chant seems quite fitting for a Gary Glitter song since you're basically all telling each other you are going to beat each other...

WRONG!
I have personally attended half a dozen Rams games where they use the same song and chant after they score a TD. So saying you're the only one doing it is kind of like saying that Roaf will go into the Hall as a Chief.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Anyone find it hypocritical that the NFL would ban a song because the artist committed a crime but would welcome back (with open arms) a guy like Leonard Little who killed someone?

I actually like the choice of BBVD myself....but that's just me.
So they ban Gary Glitter's stupid song because of his antics yet they have The Rolling Stones play during last year's Super Bowl...must be they forgot all about a late 30's Mick Jagger sleeping with a 14 yr. old McKenzie Phillips in the early 70's.....or is that statue of limitations thing coming into play?
