OT: Music being played at Leaf games

[landeskog11]

I've heard a few songs in the preseason games,

1. Walk the Moon - shut up and dance

2. Sister Sledge - we are family

name some songs you've heard during leaf games even in the past year or so, thanks.

Some sappy Bieber song. By far the worst in game music of any team in the league. I'm not talking about the goal song either.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

I will say: the music at Raptors games is far superior in terms of atmosphere, appropriateness, timing, etc. when compared to Leaf games. You would think its a completely different arena.

The music at Leafs games is best described as...incoherent.

not saying it's good but it's no different than any other venue I've been to.

Sweet Caroline halfway through the third every single time

Mony Mony was a real bad idea.
Wonder if it's back this year?

Before every PP or break in the play: "YAYYYYYYYY OHHHH.....YAYYYYYYY OHHHH.... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY...YAYYYYYYY...YAYYYYYYYYYY."

Can the music co-ordinator at Leaf games get the gas and be relived from their duties already?...This person is obviously horrible at their job, is lame af, and has been selecting these overplayed/over hyped top 10 crappy songs going on for YEARS now. Remember that wimpy Passion Pit song they played during the goal celebrations as an experiment a few seasons ago during pre-season?.... Beyond cringeworthy.

Agreed. I'll even go as far to say that the Raptors music co-ordinator is not only the best in the NBA, but also the BEST in all of sports. Loved last season's opening montage mash-up of Drake and Jay-Z/Beyonce. And I'm not even a new school Hip hop fan!

 

[m1ker]

instead of playing a lullaby every time we score, shouldn't we be laying down on the horn, you know steal energy and momentum from the other team..

The music sucks at SBA. I also wish they had an organ at SBA. That is so badasss and is a traditional hockey musical instrument. Musical atmosphere definitely needs to be overhauled.

I am in complete agreement !

They do play the organ at times.

Yeah a bit, want it to be much more often. Blackhawks use it exclusively. I'd rather hear the organ playing "Saints Go Marching In" instead of constantly hearing Put a f***ing Ring On It by Beyoncé or Humble by Kendrick. Even Power by Kanye for when we go on PP, terrible. Predictable. Doesn't sound pleasant too.

Don't mind Sweet Caroline at all. Neil Diamond is legend. Some of the older time tracks got no issue.

 

[IBeL34f]

I've never understood why we weren't playing more Can-Con during games. This is the perfect venue to support Canadian musicians and bands like Monster Truck, Arkells, Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Sloan, Tragically Hip, etc. while still pumping up the crowd.

DJ Cale's selection always leaves something to be desired, but at least they started playing the actual Crazy Train the last couple of years instead of the weird remix they used to play...

We were just joking about this I don’t know how many times I’ve heard “the Adams Family”...no new material.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Seems like every game features a song from Toto, usually 'Hold the Line'. Can't stand that song.

But it's not as bad as 'Sweet Caroline', which I despise.

The music is old and outdated. Leafs need a new DJ. Should be capturing the youth like the Raptors.

I find the music rather shallow and pedantic.

 

[supermann_98]

The Hall and Oates song after a goal absolutely sucks, and this is coming from a Hall and Oates fan. They literally have 15 songs better than that one.

I used to poke fun at my Hab fan buddies when they'd play Coldplay or U2 "Vertigo" after their goals, now I hang my head in shame for our stupid goal song

I'm pretty certain the Leafs brought in a new DJ at the same time they changed the announcer and brought in the anthem singer.

Some Wilhelm Richard Wagner could really pick things up for leaf games.

I will say: the music at Raptors games is far superior in terms of atmosphere, appropriateness, timing, etc. when compared to Leaf games. You would think its a completely different arena.

The music at Leafs games is best described as...incoherent.

Different sport with a different history, culture, demos etc.

It probably is, I'm betting this is related to how MLSE handles diverse environments.

Would prefer just the organ as well.
Tradition is good.
