The Hundred could use an overhaul, but there are some horrifically bad suggestions in this thread. Yeeeeesh.
Dump the Theme for "The Godfather"
- Thread starter 10yrProject
- Start date
Just throwing stuff up there to see if anything sticks
I agree that most of what I put up would need to be edited severely time wise.
Some of my thoughts above would need to be just played "as is" without band participation and although I like the bands overall sound evidently many think cutting them out of the loop, at least partially, wouldn't be all that bad a thing to have happen.
I agree that some are shaky (talking about my ideas). My thought is that if they made money for Hollywood they could probably make $ for IU too ( the movie theme ones).

How about the above to replace "The Godfather" lullaby/funeral dirge... 1:04-1:21 fits best in my opinion...
Has anybody caught onto the fact that Ballroom Blitz was done by Sweet (later covered by Krokus) and not AC/DC?
In any event, here is my choice for team intro song. Just as it sounds, no vocals. Picture this with smoke filling the NEZ and a video of charging bison. This is if I’m at the controls.

Silly me! I thought we had take-the-field music for our team. I could have sworn the song was called, "Indiana, our Indiana."
You don't like "Onward To Victory?!?"
I'm thinking we want this music to make the offense stop, look around and think, "What the f*** is THAT?!?" And I think "Onward To Victory" accomplishes that.
You are in control of the music at a party. You think people should be dancing and whoopin in up... but instead everybody seems to be glued to the couches. You have a choice of two greatest hits cds to liven the party. Which one are you going to put on? A. Michael Jackson or B. John Philip Sousa.
On 2nd thought, VERY close. Was trimming the hedges when this song came on the other day and almost chopped one down I was rocking so hard...
Could always do something from Secretly Canadian or Jagjaguwar, two amazing music labels in Bloomington founded by IU grads.
Are you the guy who posts this every year? I really like this song......a lot better than Indiana Fight imo.....here's a suggestion for Fred....have the band play this at the end of the 3rd Q, instead of the WTO ripoff from the bball program. Create a seperate football identity Fred!!!
Well.....for me, Sousa no doubt....but that's why I didn't do well at parties.
But seriously, it's a MARCHING band.....a marching band should, at least some of the time, play march music. See Ohio State. Not saying they can't do other things, but they shouldn't try to out-beatle the Beatles.
UCLA and Berkeley both are named the Bruins and both schools have the same fight song. This should not be so hard. Wisconsin plays a beer jingle. And it’s a lousy beer. But it works. Do people jump up and start clapping to The Godfather theme? It’s only the most embarrassing era of Hoosier football in more than 50 years so let’s keep embracing it.
Who is the person responsible for picking that piss poor song?

I think we are not on the same page. This thread is about tunes the band plays while they are in the stands playing a song during a time out etc.
That's not going to get the crowd hyped.
If you want to get people hyped and have a true "anti-Sloopy" song with some State of Indiana connections, I think you need to look at the Jacksons/Michael Jackson library. They've got the monster hits.
here's what the band needs to play.
forget the 2 mins 42 seconds of intro. they need to start exactly where the 2:43 mark is, and go.
tubas/sousas, french horns, and trombones, start the transitional part that leads in, trumpets and coronets come in, do their thing, and go for it, where Mike Campbell comes in with his lead.
when they're in the stands, give a primo coronet guy a mic and let him really go off.
the transitional lead in part would be a great 1st down theme.
