Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I would vote for no. 2. if i actually liked them but i was loooking for more of a techno approch. i think i could grt some sort of band together and we could come up with something better.

hey, i got a idea. what about a CD Anthem. now that would be hot.

EDIT: I just thought of a better idea. if nationals are in Atlanta, who better than Ludacris to do a 60 sec bit repin FIRST. just like the promo he did for EA Sports Madden 2000.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Why not the song from Beatty's video? It might have been rap, but it is better than these two songs.

BTW, I voted for the first one. It sure is corny, but in the stands you don't hear the words that much anyways, just the beat.

Smile Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

By the end of finals at Boston we wanted to shout at the winning teams to go through the line faster so they wouldn't play it a 7th time... well, they did. I would vote for one but I will probably jump out the widow if I have to listen to them in order to pick which is less offensive. Seriously though. It was mildly amusing the first few times during competition, but the repeat during finalist awards and regional winner awards? Sure fire way to make you hate it. God, I wish I had something positive to say here....

I may not like the songs, but I love FIRST! (post was getting to be a downer)

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

They decided that if they put up the lyrics it would be better. WRONG!

These are straight off the FIRST site, as they say, truth can only be stranger than fiction.

Quote:
F-We're gonna write the future
I- -a little inspiration
R-rock the bleachers
S-T- scientifically.

First- we're gonna kick a little
First-gonna give a little
First- it's gonna take a little energy

First-cause we got the vision
First-than we're gonna build it
First- gonna make a difference
We are gonna be...

F-I-R-S-T

First- did you ever wonder
First-The facts we uncover
First- We gotta crunch the numbers
Now let's work it
First- cause it's now or never
First-let's put it all together
First-it's time to pull the leather
Watch who winds up...FIRST.
Quote:
FIRST -because the future is ours to be

FIRST- rocking out scientifically


F for fun

I inspiration

R rewarding

S sophistication

T for the top cause that's where we will be, oh yeah


FIRST the kings and queens of the laboratory

And we are FIRST rocking out scientifically


F for facts

I investigation

R research

S for the summation

T the theory that we want to test, oh yeah


FIRST we use the latest in technology

Cause we are FIRST in rocking out scientifically

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Okay, so I think how horrid these songs are is clear.

Let's make this positive. Write the lyrics to your own FIRST anthem and, if you dare, the music, too.

Let's see how well y'all can do at crafting something that's not quite so magnificently cheesy

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

second one is better for chanting and possibly memorizing. Might want to ask FIRST to make a real song.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

That's wack.

The beatty video is infinitely better than these.

FIRST ought to stay off the mic if they are going to do stuff like this. FIRST is good with no anthem and a bad one won't make it better.

I like the concept, but these songs need a REAL artist to perform them.
What about...

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

No way. These are so bad. I like the idea of a song but it has to be good. If one of these is picked it will be played with every promotion and event, casting a cheesy, fake, childish shadow over everything FIRST.
