As we do every summer, it's time for us to update our gameday music system for the upcoming football season. So I decided to poll some of our staff and see what kind of music get's them pumped up for football gamedays. I got everything from CCR to Usher so I wanted to share a few. We also want to get input from you the fans and see what your favorite songs are. Be sure to comment on this post with your favorite gameday songs or just songs that get you pumped up. You can also tweet @rebelgameday. Be sure to listen this fall as your song may be played at Vaught Hemingway Stadium! Hotty Toddy!

ReplyDeleteHow about "She's a Rebel" by Green Day?
ReplyDeleteIs there an email address where we can send suggestions?
ReplyDelete"REBEL YELL" by Billy Idol- need I say more?
ReplyDeleteGoin' Down South RL Burnside
ReplyDeleteIt's Bad you Know RL Burnside
Everything is Broken RL Burnside
Midnight in Mississippi Blue Mountain
Mississippi your on My Mind Jesse Winchester
All Night Long Jr Kimbrough
Ole Miss Blues/ Rag WC Handy Louis Armstrong
Rebel Yell Billy Idol
Duane Eddy Rebel Rouser
Please end the playing of "In the Air Tonight." It isn't a good song that pumps up the atmosphere at the game. Our music should hinge towards the more modern side but if you want to have some old hits played that inject energy that is fine. Also, Zombie Nation works at Lambeau Field but not at Vaught.
ReplyDeleteWidespress Panic - Thin Air (Feels like Mississippi)
ReplyDeleteSome version of Requiem for a Tower

If overlain properly with good video, nothing is better IMHO.
"All I do is win"...not sure of the artist
ReplyDeletePlay music that gets you pumped up like Stranglehold AC/DC other loud rock and loud rap. Who cares if the song mentions the words "Mississippi" or "Rebel", nobody wants to listen to the fucking Doobie brothers or David Bowie while playing a football game. Who the hell would play Pink at a football game? Play music that makes people want to hit people, it's football not a fucking middle school dance
ReplyDeleteAgree with Randy Yates, too many good hill country blues songs by RL & Jr not use them. But, what ever fires up the players. The fans desires should be considered after theirs.
ReplyDeleteWe need to get rid of so much Classic Rock. It doesn't relate to the players and the majority of young fans. When a recruit comes to visit he doesn't want to hear Back in Black, he wants to hear a rap pump up song or something to that effect. Same thing with the players.
ReplyDeletePlay John Lee Hooker or BB King. MS natives and bada$$ old school music. Pleae, why play rock that is over used like AC DC?
ReplyDeleteSecond Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy. The band could really do a great arrangement of this.
ReplyDeleteIn the Air Tonight by phil collins and Rebel Yell are both good choices. Another good choice is "Not Afraid" by Eminem. Gets me pumped up anyway.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imamcajBEJs this would be awesome with the right pump up video.
ReplyDeleteMan this is The University of Mississippi ! Right ?
ReplyDeleteSo let's hear from , Jimmy Reed , Muddy Waters , John Lee Hooker & Elvis !
Let's show our "MISSISSIPPI PRIDE" !
Also The Pride of the South - From DIXIE with Love !!!!!!
Agree on The Hill Country Blues.
ReplyDeleteStuff the students would get the students crazy:
Pretty Lights - Finally Moving Remix or Hot Like Sauce
My Morning Jacket - Victory Dance
PLEASE do not put Sandstorm on repeat
Who gives a shit what we as the fans want. We are not the ones playing in the game. Poll the players and use the songs that get them fired up! Most of the time these same songs will get the young fans and students rocking as well. Please, please, please end the Phil Collins and Jimmy Buffett!!!
ReplyDeleteRadiohead - 2+2=5 (Would be awesome for a video with a pregame speech intro going into a highlight reel.)
ReplyDeleteMy Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday
Black Keys - I Got Mine

Muse has a ton of great "pump" songs, and I would go nuts if I heard any of them in the Vaught:
ReplyDeleteHysteria
Stockholm Syndrome
Butterflies and Hurricanes
Knights of Cydonia
Plug-in Baby
The Uprising
Apocalypse Please (at kick-off would be awesome)
to name a few...
ac dc thunderstruck is great just turn it up and see the stadium rock ,also would like to hear mississippi queen and i know it says queen but it is a great rock and pump it up song.
ReplyDeleteHow about playing a segment on the jumbotron where players pick their favorite game day song and have them explain why they enjoy it. I'd love to her kentrell lockett comment about his favorite song. You could possibly play it just before the defense hits the field. I feel it's most important to have music relate to the players and student section as they create energy that the whole crowd feeds on.
ReplyDeleteYou are crazy not to include Deadmau5 in this list. Finding "off the run" songs where people will associate that song ONLY with Ole Miss football is going to be key in creating a UNIQUE in game experience.
ReplyDeleteCheck this out-
ReplyDeleteListen and imagine our band rocking back and forth outside the tunnel then the students following suit - then whole stadium picks up on it rocking back and forth. It also coupd be used during defensive situations
David Banner / DMX "Tear It Up"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBSGGhbL5kM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Kudos on the Black Water pick. Great song with a Mississippi reference. While most of the stadium music should be updated over time, I do think we should establish some tradition with a handful of songs with Mississippi references or connections. Make it unique. Make it Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteHere's a great start: Old Crow Medicine Show's "Mississippi Saturday Night". Perfect.
It's Time To Play the Game, by Rob Zombie or Motorhead.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the game and whose gonna take it. It's all about contol and whose gonna take it. I am heavy debt, and you can't re-pay me.

"Saturday Night Special" by Lynard Skynard
ReplyDeleteTARGET THE STUDENTS.
ReplyDeletePretty Lights - Finally Moving remix
And if you REALLY want to get the students loud play some bassnectar - his new album comes out in early august
Other Bassnectar:
Magical World feat. Nelly Furtado
Bass Head
Timestrecth
Blast Off
Only What You Gave Me by Altrice is another awesome pump-up song. It is featured in this video
http://www.wimp.com/skiinglevel/
Let's stop being cheap and pay for the rights to play the Elvis - American Trilogy video again after games. There is no chance of TSWRA chant and everyone loved it. Even opposing fans stayed to watch that video when we played it. PLEASE bring it back!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vISPgbosZUw
As to the post above about Elvis' American Trilogy, if that song is played after every game it might actually educate the students on what the real words to From Dixie With Love are
ReplyDeleteMuse's Knights of Cydonia

play the begining of marylin manson beautiful people it will fire u up and make u want to go knock the crap out of somebody
ReplyDelete"SHOUT" would get the crowd really fired up! Also, bring back FDWL PLEASE!
ReplyDeletePlease god play rap music. The players want to hear it, recruits want to hear it, and the students want to hear it. If you want to know why our stadium atmosphere is awful, just read through most of these suggestions. Jimmy Reed? At a football game? Jesus.
ReplyDeleteIt has a perfect relation to sports, and it will get the fans off their seats... ALL I DO IS WIN.
ReplyDeleteDJ Khaled "All I Do Is Win" feat. Ludacris, Rick Ross ...
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=all+i+do+is+win&aq=0&oq=all+i+do+
INTRO- The XX
ReplyDeletePlay My Morning Jacket please.. or even Sleigh Bells that would be interesting... tons of easy choices.. get rid of most of the oldies. you want loud students I think
ReplyDeleteThe XX - Intro
ReplyDeleteEminem - Till I Collapse
My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday
Sleigh Bells - Tell 'Em
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Drive-By Truckers version of Tom Petty - Rebels
The Black Keys - I Got Mine
Meek Mill - Tupac Back feat. Rick Ross
Also, if you want the students to get into it, play PRETTY LIGHTS or DEADMAU5. Sandstorm was cool in 2003, it needs to be put to bed. Pretty Lights would get the whole stadium going absolutely nuts, especially opening game with it being a later kickoff.
ReplyDeleteLed Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks (it's the most sampled drum beat in rap)

ReplyDeleteYou can never forget these songs below:
ReplyDeleteClocks - Coldplay (at the end of games)
Ghosts n stuff - Deadmau5
Zombie Nation
Sandstorm
I'm on one DJ Khaled
ReplyDeleteT.I. what u know
Lil Wayne John
Got to improve music.
Please don't play Pink. Please. Or Usher.
ReplyDeleteHip hop is great, students love it, as do the players. The "down in front" crowd that opposes it will be there regardless, we need more students in the stands.
Someone call DJ Mario. Get that cat up in the booth, it would be great.
Or Black Eyed Peas. No Peas parties.
ReplyDeleteAnything by Disturbed...their songs always got me pumped up. Spacelord by Monster Magnet; Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine; Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC; Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue; Stronger by Kanye West; God's Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash; I got mine by the Black Keys; Joker and the Thief by Wolfmother; Waste My Hate by Metallica; Theme Song from the Conan Movies (i'm serious); Slither by Velvet Revolver;
ReplyDeleteFor the love of God, some of these Rap songs mentioned are ones from the hay day of Atlanta and Houston rap. They're good, but they're old and over played. If you want this generation of students at OM to actually enjoy the music and heighten energy levels, play DUBSTEP. It sounds incredible, it does cause an increasing secretion of serotonin, and why not use that new VHS sound system? Pretty Lights, Basenectar, Skrillex, etc. Just go grab any CURRENT college student on the Square and they'll tell you. Just look who the Lyric has lined up this Fall...
ReplyDeleteWaka Flocka Grove St. Party
ReplyDeleteEminem Fast Lane
Lupe Fiasco Show goes on
T.I. (guaranteed to get you fired up)
It's all about getting the team hype and the crowd pumped. You blend the new with the old. Rappers and rap songs must be relevant. At least 5 years old. If all fails get DJ Mario.
My Morning Jacket- One Big Holiday
ReplyDeleteXX- Intro
Both of these songs fit the fabric that is Ole Miss. Great music made by great artists that does nothing but excite. They will not only ignite the student sections but the entire crowd. Students not in the stadium will regret not being inside when these tracks drop. These two are a must. This could be our niche i.e. Enter Sandman @ Va Tech, Sandstorm @ USC. (Both are family friendly)
I hope the team have a powerful intro before running on the field. A video on the jumbotron with a song that will shake the stadium. You want the players ready to roll, and the fans going crazy. This will leave a huge impression with the recruits. Winning would make it even sweeter. When the players hear that song, they will know it's go time.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the Dubstep. All of those would be awesome. So would Deadmau5.
ReplyDeleteI think everybody in the stands should start jumping wheen they play jump around by house of pain or enter sandman by metallica! Just take a look at Va tech and Wisconsin entrances on YouTube and they're not even SEC. When they play Sandstorm and Zombie Nation fans should wave they're pom poms in around and around!! No black eye peas or soft music!! Plays lots of T.I. And Dorrough and Yo Gotti and Soulja Boy music! They're from the south and that's mainly what our youth listen too. Trust me, I am a youth. Nobody wants to hear Jason Aldean or Micheal Jackson Music played this fall. Use some of the music from Basketball and Baseball too!! I mean our fans aren't playing, our players are!! They like modern music, not music from the golden days!
ReplyDeleteRebels, we're on the verge of expansion to the Vaught! Fans of all ages have to get hyped!!! This is the year, we surprise everybody! I can feel it! 35 days from now, we're on that field playing those cougars! I want it packed! They're a good team and we can't take advantage of them like we did last year! Brandon Bolden and Kentrell "Superman" Lockett want this to be the best Ole Miss season in the past decade! I want the Vaught to be going nuts this fall? The name for this season in my book is going to be called "Rebel Redemption"! So join in the Rebelution today!
