Proposal: Leafs Desperately Need A New Goal Song?

[67Cup]

I don’t care what the goal song is, just as long as the Leafs score so often that it becomes annoying and repetitive.

 

[CanadasTeam]

of all the things the leafs desperately need - a new goal song is no where near the top of that list.

You are so right, my apologies for making the thread.

 

[jaric1862]

They need a new one badly

 

[Nylanderthal]

Why do the leafs need an new goal song? When they score my dreams are coming true......

Because it’s a boomer tune that doesn’t resonate or really get anyone moving and excited.

 

[Nylanderthal]

i doubt very much the freaking goal song is a part of that.

I can tell you anecdotally that it is definitely something that has been a topic of conversation amongst friends of mine who range from 22-35.

 

[The Beyonder]

Clearly the only correct answer is this...

I don't know about you but I'm a little sick of our goal song and I feel it's time to change it up.

Do you have a better suggestion? I'd like to go with The Heavy "How you like me now?" song.

This is how it would sound in an arena full of crowd after a Matty goal

Great song and dead on perfect for that goal but I think hearing "how you like me now" on every goal would get really repetitive over time. That said it would definitely piss other teams off a lot; they might defend like their lives depended on it just so they don't have to hear it.

I think if it could be used selectively it would be perfect; like in this instance for example.

Only one solution here:

Wondering how many traditionalists would complain if they switched up the music to polka or classical music. Details are important.
Music is the beginning. How about serving up some decent beer at leaf games?
I know that serving crap at leaf games has been a tradition for years but if you arent serving up crap games anymore, how about some better music, food and beer?

While the sentiment makes me laugh, not a goal song but a club song that fans sing during the game (if only we didn't have so many lame ducks in our arena). Don't know why but I love when soccer stadiums sing club songs. Give everyone in the crowd blue and white scarves that could be waved afterwards. Would be fun.

I don't know how a person can't enjoy this:

I have been lucky enough to attend 6 football matches over seas including an England game at wembly, liverpool game at anfield and a Man U game at old trafford. When the home team scores in those barns, the place erupts. Hard to match that intensity in a NHL barn TBH. Their fan culture for football in Europe is totally different from hockey culture, but the same sort of things apply. If you can some how get the crowd chanting a simple tune after a goal, the place pops off. Thats why my suggestion is "hey jude" by the beattles. Everyone knows the tune, people would eventually sing it, and then chanting it. would make for a fun post goal atmosphere in the playoffs. Man City just replaces the 2 syllables of "hey Jude" with "Ci-ty", leafs could replace it on the jumbotron with go-leafs or something corny like that, and then it becomes more personal if they wanted it.

Absolutely not, Leafs have the best goal song in the league. Unless they want to pay Hall and Oates to re-record Rich Girl with a chorus of "Rich Boy" any time one of the big 4 scores, then that would be kinda funny for a day or two.

This is so cringeworthy.......

the lady in the white top was lovely though and Dougie getting caught checking her out made me laugh.

Needs a remix feat. Justin Bieber

It’s actually easily the worst in the league and I’m asssuming is used for a nostalgic feeling. Well there isn’t anything worthy of being nostalgic about WRT to the past fifty plus years.

Old Trafford is a dream of mine. Lucky you!

 

[Le Cobra]

I vote for Led Zeppelin- Immigrant Song

 

[Anthrax442]

Metallica: One
Where the double bass comes in.
Or something by Pantera

 

[Mr_Fun]

Change the song to something by Weather Report or Mahavishnu Orchestra and we're good.

 

[Nylanderthal]

I would say something from death from above 1979, Alexisonfire or the Arkells would be appropriate,recent-ish local bands with enough popularity with some tunes everyone already knows. Please pick something with some life and excitement tho ffs. Hall & Oates reminds me of visiting my lame aunt and uncles back in the 80’s
Do not want songs that are nearly or over 40 years old. It just doesn’t resonate with a large chunk of the fan base.

 

[Damisoph]

Long overdue, we need to tweet Dubas and Shanny and get this shit changed. Do what the Sharks did and let the players pick their own, within reason

 

[stealth1]

They will just some other random old song for the goal song. It fits the Suits that go to the games.

 

[al secord]

It's what the British call a piss take. It's the perfect song in my opinion. The whining in this thread shows that it is doing it's job.

This post is exactly why it can't be left in the hands of the fans.

With all due respect, I beg to f***ing differ.

 

[supermann_98]

No other song better exudes the arrogance and greed of these players. Just like Money Mitch gotta go, so does this Hall and Oates song
