C.Biscuit97 Posted November 21 Posted November 21 (edited) It’s jumped the shark. Only the pink hat bills fans like it now. also a song I loved but I can’t listen to it anymore. Besides getting played out, it’s about a guy getting cucked and it just repeats the same verse twice! Edited November 21 by C.Biscuit97 1 Quote

sullim4 Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I loved the energy from it on Sunday, but I thought the specific choice of song was strange. My 67 year old dad wasn't quite sure what to make of the lyrics as it seemed rather... explicit? It was kind of weird to be there with my dad while that was blaring. I am not a music guy so I had never heard the song before. There are better choices... Enter Sandman? Final Countdown? I do like that it isn't forced but otherwise it was kind of awkward for me. 1 Quote

We're like pavlov's dogs, that ***** goes off and people lose their minds. And I like the song, most people know some of the words already, and it's a fun experience. It could be any song, I don't care what it's about lol People on message boards overthink things. just pretending i didn't know you know the take on the train whistle.... most people including Bills fans, hate it. 1 Quote

Fun sing along song. Thats about as deep as it goes. You want to find meaning in the lyrics go for it. Been out for 20ish years. Dont stop believing is about a hooker and lonely guy. Similar reason for the popularity. 1 Quote
WotAGuy Posted November 21 Posted November 21 59 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: I do agree with those that say that maybe the lyrics don’t entirely matter. The issue though is some of the lyrics are just plain awkward. “Her hand on his chest. Taking off her dress.” Awkward for a stadium anthem. Waddya mean? Those lyrics are played out in parking lot jersey purchases all the time. 2 1 Quote

It is a catchy song, but the lyrics/meaning are so unbelievably out of place to be played at a football game. It just feels bizarre that that is the Bills song. It’s about some dude catching his girlfriend cheating! anyone have a similar reaction? Yes. You almost NEED the backstory for it to make any sense IMO. So I concur with your sentiments. It's kind of corny but fun. I LOVE CORNY lol 1 Quote
17islongenough Posted November 21 Posted November 21 If the Bills win it all this year can The Killers be invited to the parade and play this song over and over again? 1 2 Quote
Just Jack Posted November 21 Posted November 21 (edited) If you want something more football related, there is Get Back Up by Barenaked Ladies, but it's not well known, and not quite a sing along except for these lyrics... "Get back, get back up You gotta get back, get back up You got a whole stadium on their feet, it's not about a victory or a defeat See you gotta get back, get back up You gotta get back, get back up" Edited November 21 by Just Jack Quote
Your Brown Eye Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I used to like it as a potential Bills anthem, but soured on the thought when I found out other teams outside the NFL have played it far longer than the Bills have been playing it. It is kinda like when Bills fans got their nuts in a monkey wrench when "Bills Mafia" took off and fans of other teams tried to call themselves " _____ Mafia". It loses it originality, kinda like Mr. Brightside with the Bills. Quote

It’s not new. A lot of the young people singing it weren’t alive when it was on the radio 21 years ago. 1 Quote

People have said the same about AC/DC and it's just not true. There are so many nuances about this song that artistically are very clever. Is it the best song ever? Nah but it's for sure not horrible or basic. funny thing. I happened upon a video of Megadeth's drummer playing along to this song after hearing it for the first time. He was a little humbled by the style and energy of the song and its technicality within its simplicity. Quote

It’s about some dude catching his girlfriend cheating! anyone have a similar reaction? For sure... It sounds so weird hearing 60,000+ people singing "She's touching his chest now, he takes off her dress now..." in unison at a football game But it seems to fire everyone up so whatever works! 1 1 Quote
