Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Wow,
four (4) whole pages of responses to this thread in less than 24 hours! That must mean that we're passionate about our music and what gets played at FIRST events.

Let's be POSITIVE about what FIRST can do to "go back to the studio". As Dean himself said in Boston, these two songs were a) very rough cuts and b) were inspired by a 3rd-party studio who did them for free or nominal charge as an experiment (isn't that what science is all about anyways?).

As I said in a prior thread, I highly suspect the reason that FIRST wants to use some of its own music is to avoid paying royalties. I'm 99% sure that you can't play "YMCA" at any public venue without copyright concerns.

So, let's be POSITIVE, not negative, and start to brainstorm some catchy lyrics and suggest a danceable beat (e.g. something that has the same beat as a Michael Jackson tune.....etc)...So, keep the suggestions coming.
