Why does The Animal have a Nascar headset on?

Could we get this on a power towel?

Definitely room for improvement.  Just trying to put some ideas out there for the best product.  A mummy with sunglasses and a mustache isn't the best we can do.

The first one with Emo's soon to be hair is the best one.

Guys I just watched the video again and I still think this is a very good idea. 

I was talking to my dad about it last night and he thought the best idea was not to hope that "the suits" (his words) play it over the speakers, but rather, let Tracz do his thing.  Do you think the students would know what to do?  Would they follow the band's lead?  I feel like to appreciate what the band is doing, you have to at least hear the song (and even the video) first to know how nightmarish and fun and booze infused the song is.  Would it have the same impact as it would over the speakers?  If the band plays it and sings it, will it seem too forced? 

I don't really want this to just be another song in the band's regular repertoire a la purple haze, shout it outloud, etc.  I want it to be an event.  Like jump around.

Is that the right role?  What would make everyone go bonkersest?

look dlew, if we can get the band on board then were in. straight viral city USA from there and main street runs right through bsfs.

i would have to think the band's on board.  tracz is emaw to the core.  he's so emaw he got in trouble for using his musical servants to spell emaw for him.  im sure he's down.

i just don't want this thing to fall flat on its face.  i want the students to think that going apeshit for this weird polka type song was their idea.  otherwise it's going to turn into some weird band inside joke like the family guy theme. 

maybe i'm underestimating how many students are familiar with this song.

You just flood campus and aggieville with it via students on goEMAW (or younger goemaws posing as students). Have it played at parties and bars. Print off the Ron image and post it around town/campus with no goEMAW stamp or any other identifying logo. Make shirts, give them away (people go hilariously bananas for free shirts). Make tiny ones and give them to hot girls to wear. Make smedium ones and wear them to the gym. Really, you could pull off this type of operation for a few hundred dollars and 15-20 man hours with the right people in place. You just have to identify a few key influential communicators and opinion makers to target, which shouldn't be that hard.

The real version needs to be played every game during an extended timeout and/or before every game. I barely even care about the band version because I fear we would find a way to POWL it up. It wouldn't sound like the JMU one because we don't have an electric guitar or an electric bass or a badass on a drum set. I mean I guess we have a drum set at hoops games but that's it. We also don't have a super duper cavernous arena where we can clearly hear every word the band is saying.

I guess what I'm saying is we're missing some key ingredients so it needs to be the studio version cranked through our fantastic BSFS speakers. For at least half a season for it to really work.
