Help...Kick off song

by louis_was_wright on Oct 7, 2008 6:24 PM MDT Comment 17 comments

I'm 79 and have been a season ticket holder since 1981.

I like what we do on kickoffs... but I want to join in.

So I need some help.
1) what's the song (artist and title) that's played?
2) What are we (supposed to be) yelling?

I think you're refering to The Hives "Tick Tick Boom"...

…which I’ve also heard them play.

I dont know the name of the song

But unfortunetaly I think your talking about Gary Glitter. He is a petafile that just got out of prison some where in asia. The broncos quit playing his song until recently when he got out of jail. I might be thinking of something completely different then you but read the article for yourself.

That's not the kickoff song...

Gary Glitter’s Rock and Roll Part II is the TD celebration song!

It used to “We Ready” By Archie Eversole (link below):

However, I think they may have changed it.

I’m going to the game this weekend…I’ll take note and get back to you.

GO BRONCOS!!!

I stand corrected.

Are they still playing Gary Glitter?

That needs to change, in no way should we have the Broncos associated with that pervert.

As an aside

The Original Colorado Rockies (now New Jersey Devils) started playing Rock and Roll Part II whenever they scored a goal led by Crazy George running up and down the aisles banging on his drum.

Thunderstruck?

I know at the beginning of some games they have played Thunderstruck by ACDC. The beginning of the song the band is chanting “Thunder!!!” An ode of course to my namesake Rocky Mountain Thunder, which is the sound of 80,000 screaming broncomaniacs stomping their feet at the stadium. And of course to Thunder the Arabian who trots out on to the field. Come to think of it, the Broncos have some freaking awesome traditions. And I love it all.

We Ready was used extensively three or four years ago but I only hear it every once in a while now.

It seems like I've heard...

Guns ‘n Roses “Welcome to the Jungle Intro” a couple of times too. Although I don’t know what people would be shouting for that.

I think maybe they’re changing it up now. However, If the crowd is chanting something, RockyMountainThunder is probably right that it’s Thunderstruck:

Kickoff Song

For MHR the kickoff song has been Danger Zone!

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Also,

A lot of times they end the song just before the kick and the crowd simply does a crescendoing “Whooooooaaaah” as Prater runs up to kickoff.

GO BRONCOS!!!

I went to the Broncos/Saints game a few weeks ago....

And I kept hearing “Enter Sandman” by Metallica before kickoffs…
Hope this helps!

ANSWER

Thanks to my friends at the Broncos, here is the answer —

Here is the response from our game entertainment folks

The kickoff song is "Head Bussa" by Lil Scrappy. There isn’t anything specific that the fans yell at that point.
They yell "Hey" during the touchdown song and they yell "In-com-plete" and they yell "Go Broncos" occasionally.
