Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Ok - after listening to each song, I've come to the following conclusions (and yes, I did listen to each of them all the way through).

1. That's 4 to 5 minutes of my life I will never get back. A bit upset, yes, but nothing I can do about it now.

2. Mr. Gilbert pointed out the link of the web page to the survey, so my wishful thinking that this was an elaborate April Fool's joke doesn't appear very promising

3. I hope a couple more options are added to the survey answers - like "neither of the above" or "please, please, please don't play these at any week 5 events or the Championship"

4. must reference # 1 again

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I voted for #2 just because #1 reminded me of South Park's "Getting Gay with Kids" singing group. But seriously there should be a "no theme song" or "try again" option.

This has probably been said before in this thread: They should have asked the teams to try to write a song for an award (like animation) that could possibly be used as the theme song. It would be more connected with the FIRST community than a few independent song writers trying to do it. They would have more than 2 songs to choose from and one would be better than these. FIRST members are a multi talented group and there is substantial musical talent out there. My team produced a couple team songs a few years ago (more techno remixes of of our cheer than a songs but whatever). I am sure Dean Simmons and the Kamens or Beatty (that video was good) would be frontrunners in this music competition. You could keep the competition running for a few years even, until FIRST gets the right song (or one that can be rewritten into the theme song). How cool would it be if your team wrote the theme song? You would be forever immortalized in FIRST History.

2. I can't find this survey on the actual FIRST web page, or any reference to these songs anywhere, and have heard nothing of them at 4 weeks of Regionals so far....so on to number three

3. I'm "hopeful" (EXTREMELY hopeful) that this is an incredibly clever and well executed April Fool's joke - if so, kudos to those who pulled it all together, job well done.

4. must reference # 1 again

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Hmmmm.... It's a much better April fools joke than some of the other years. Didn't they say one year that Nationals was canceled? Then again they could be serious. If that is true I say we rebel and write our own. There are plenty of nerdy songs out there that we can tweak.

That was a prank on CD, not from FIRST.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

I'm gonna agree with most of you in saying that they both were pretty bad.
I thought the first one sounded like it would work good in a commercial, a 30 or 60 second spot would fit the song and it wouldn't drive you crazy! I have to say I voted for the second one because I didn't think it was as bad as the first one. Or should I say the F to the I to the R to the S to the T.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Even though there wasnt a neither button, I imagined myself clicking the neither button before I felt like pummeling you for making me listen to them, and the screaming , and losing all hope in life. Now I shall hope-pray-beg that when I wake up the next day, this was an amazing april's fool joke or some bad dream or Im just going crazy and imagining all this in my head.

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Please, please, please let this be an April Fools joke. Please.

<sigh> If either of these are to become an official anthem, then I would suggest that we immediately adopt an unofficial anthem that MUST be played immediately following the official one:
Code:
Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy! 
DDT did a job on me 
now I am a real sickie 
guess I’ll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose 
all the girls are in love with me 
I’m a teenage lobotomy

Slugs and snails are after me 
DDT keeps me happy 
now I guess I’ll have to tell ’em
That I got no cerebellum 
gonna get my ph.d. 
I’m a teenage lobotomy

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy! 
DDT did a job on me now 
I am a real sickie guess 
I’ll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose 
all the girls are in love with me 
I’m a teenage lobotomy

Re: Choose the FIRST Anthem?

Though I like Ed's rendition of FIRST Yeah (though I think its absolutely hillarious that anyone would even make mention to Team America on this board), I have another suggestion...

Whatever it takes
We'll make it by tommorow
Whatever it takes
You know it can be done
Something Something
Nothings gonna stop us
Do you accept the challenge today?
Do you accept...


Oh wait...that song has been done too

Too bad 90% of you will not get this joke. But that one was for the old timers.
