I think some sort of high paced instrumental piece would be better than anything with lyrics, but I guess that's just me.
It isn't so much that FIRST is against megastars really it is just that Dean thinks that people who do things that effect society, like scientists and engineers should be at the same level. Dean was actually the one who started the whole song idea. It seems that if a song is a way to get kids to hear about the program then it is a very good idea. I don't think any one could write a song that could truely encompass all of FIRST, nor is that at all what people are trying to do. The song is instead just an attention getter, something to catch someones interest.

If you go back to when championships were at Disney(I wasn't there but based on what I have heard) FIRST had Mandy Moore perform and Will smith do a little video clip. Dean doesn't want to get rid of the megastars, just get engineers up there with them
