I'm pretty sure this was banned by the NHL... not just a Devils things. So, while I completely agree with the premise of the petition... I think you are barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.

I understand the banning of the song..I don't blame teams for what they did.. I've just noticed that some fans are upset about the new goal song (I don't like it either, it comes to a pause and repeats.. ANyone else notice this?) I'd like for it to change to another song, but i'm not lobbyin or R&R Pt2 as much

Can someone explained to me what the deal with the song is? Why is it banned?

Also, where can i listen to the song?

Rock and Roll, Pt. 2 or "the Hey! song" is a Gary Glitter song. He happens to be a pedophile and over the years more and more teams started removing that song from their "playlist" during games to distance themselves from him.

I for one will miss the song, even though I wasn't so much a fan of the "you suck" part that was added on (it seemed to take away from the sheer celebration that broke out in the arena, I'd rather cheer the guy who just scored the goal than tell the other team they sucked). Song 2, "the woohoo song" just doesn't conjure up the same memories. Whenever I hear R&R, Pt. 2 all I think of is Game 7 of the 2003 SCF and 19,039 other people celebrating.

Edit: Thank god they don't play U2 when we score though. Montreal's games just sound sooooo wimpy.

I don't understand banning the song at all. Is the idea that by playing the song you somehow tacitly condone what an artist says or does? That's pretty silly.

Bring back R&R pt. 2.

I don't think it's the song itself I think it's the fact that he gets royalties ever time the song is played. I read somewhere, I forget where, that the royalties from it being played in stadiums is the only source of income he has left. I wouldn't think teams would want to help pay his defense team, which is basically what they are doing by playing the song.

The only place I know that has banned the song not because of that is the University of Maryland which banned the band from playing it because the crowd would chant "You Suck" and "We'll beat the hell out of you, and, you, and you, and you." The band doesn't play it anymore but the students still sing it.

The Wild recently changed their goal song from Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part II" to Joe Satriani's "Crowd Chant" and I couldn't be happier. It rocks just the same if not more than R&R II, plus we don't have to be associated with that piece of crap.

i dont like the fact that they only sounded the goal horn once from what i remember. and that blur "song 2" (wooohoo) is so overrated.


plus, the flyers use it. so screw that

Why can't the Devils have their own song? I mean, even the Rangers have a better goal song than either Blur or Gary Glitter - and if I'm not mistaken, it's original.

We should not petition for a goal song, we should compose a new song. Except, uh, I have the musical talent of a cabbage...

How about Led Zepplin.

I knew the reason exactly when Blur's "Song 2" was played after Madden's 1st goal instead of "Rock and Roll, Part II." It is kind of sad that it is gone, but I agree with the reason fully.

I have an early '80's Colorado Rockies media guide, and they have a picture of the crowd at McNichols Arena with the caption: Fans clap to the beat of "Rock 'n Roll Part II."

Where's the petition to ban the Devils from ever playing "Who Let the Dogs Out" again? Seriously, it is embarrassing that they play that at every game. :help:

I agree 100%, but I like to think of it as the techno period.

Just heard that song on Youtube. I agree, that song is pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind the Devils having it at all but wouldn't want to take it from you guys

And I'm sure he looooooooooves it.

Yeah, I'm aware of the reasoning but in my mind that still doesn't justify it. That song is beyond horrible and shouldn't be played under any circumstances. It sucked years ago when it was popular and played out for a few months and it sucks even worse now after hearing over and over again at Devils home games. Plus, it's not like opposing team's fans understand why that is being played at Devils games - they probably just think we have a lame taste in music here, a stereotype we already have to fight since some people think everyone in New Jersey listens to Bon Jovi.

If/when Johnny Oduya scores a goal or gets into a fight, Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Wanna?" should be played. That would be pretty cool.

As much as I hate it, "who let the dogs out" may be appropriate for when we unleash our 4th line, the Dobermans.

I for one will miss the song, even though I wasn't so much a fan of the "you suck" part that was added on...
I noticed that they didn't read the Leafs line-up at the opener and I for one was happy. I personally don't like when some fans yell "SUCKS!" after every name on the other team. I also don't appreciate the "Rangers Suck!" thing either - but as long as Rags fans do the "Potvin Sucks!" thing...I guess it balances out. The "You Suck!" thing to Rock and Roll Pt II also got on my nerves.
However, it was a much better goal song than Song 2. When the "Hey! Hey!" came around, everybody could stand up and shout..."Hey" is a universal sort of thing. Not everyone does "Woo-hoo!" well (yours truly included).
Song 2 is a better post-victory song.
The Ranger goal song is horrid...the New Jersey Pride MLL team played that when they scored the games I went to. Although it incorporates the "Hey!", the "Whoa-oa-oa!" detracts from the simplicity of it.

Some ideas I've had for other songs*:
Black Sabbath's "The Wizard" would be a good song for a spectacular save by Marty;
A breakaway that results in a goal could be followed by the thrashing bass of "Jerry was a Racecar Driver" by Primus ("Go!"...thrashing bass);
A particularly hard hit could be replayed on the big screen accompanied by Pantera's "Walk";

As for "Who Let the Dogs Out"...it should be put to sleep.

*Of course, you'd have to know the songs I'm talking about...

I think the lion's share of fans grasped the intricacies of the "Woohoo" rather quickly. I thought I was gonna have a problem with Rock N Roll Pt. 2 being history, but it really didn't bother me. I can "woohoo" just as easily. The screaming for the goal is the real good part.
And of course those who were prone to "you suck" after the previous song already have gone to F you instead of Woohoo. They will not be deterred, I guess, and it wasn't why the song was changed anyway.

I've been hearing a lot of people complaining about the Devils using Song #2 for the new goal song. From what I understand, they're in a bind because they can't use Rock and Roll Part2.
Until they can find something better, we're stuck with Blur. So instead of complaining about it and signing petitions that aren't going to help anything, lets come up with a list of possible new goal songs.
Rumor has it they're going to be posting a poll on their website where we can vote for the new song. Let's get some good options in that poll.

Why is that - because of Gary Glitter's felonies?

Why is that - because of Gary Glitter's felonies?

Yes, because of the history, particularly the more recent sentencing in Vietnam.

From what I understand, the difference between them playing Michael Jackson and refusing to play Gary Glitter is that MJ was never convicted.... I guess it's innocent until proven guilty.

... anyway, let's get some songs together for their list. I was thinking Zombie Nation or Joe Satriani's Crowd Chant

Someone in another forum recieved an email sayin that they're going to post a poll or 4 or 5 songs on the website for a new goal song shortly

yeah here was the email they sent out
Dear Scott,



Thank you for your recent e-mail. We will hold a fan poll listing about 5 or 6 songs that have been recommended by our fans. We hope to have this up on our web site by the end of the day today. We appreciate your interest, comments, and support of the New Jersey Devils.



Best regards,

I wish we could go back to early June of 2003 and stop then from playing "My Life" by Bon Jovi right when they won the cup. Dear God that was a horrible horrible mistake.


I vote for "You're The Best (Around)" by Joe "Bean" Esposito (Watch the tournament montage in The Karate Kid to see it in full effect)

IS UP...

http://www.newjerseydevils.com/2005/html/fanzone/contests/goalsong/index.php

There is a Barbara Streisand song on there... I heard from someone I know who works there that some fan sent the suggestion in as a joke and The Devils decided to keep it in the poll as a joke back.

There is a choice for OTHER....Can we Suggest the Colbert Report Theme Song?

My vote goes to Do It Again by Queens of the Stone Age.

I gotta admit, if I was a fan of a rival club, I'd flood that poll with Barbara Streisand votes. Just to see what the Devils would do.

And it begins.

That's exactly what I said... and I'm pretty sure if that happens and it gets the most votes they would probably just take the 2nd highest voted song.... or at least I would hope so!

Also, it seems like you can't "flood"... it looks like you can vote for more than one song, but not for the same song more than once.... a smart move on their part.

I am leaning towards "Do it Again" by Queens of the Stone Age. It seems highly derivative of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll, Part II." I wonder if any other teams in the NHL use "Do it Again" after a home goal.

I like Blur a lot; they remind me of early Wire, so I woulnd't mind if their "Song 2" is kept as the goal song. I don't like Pennywise's Decendents/All sound. There's no feeling in the guitars. The White Zombie guy's voice is awful. Bono sounds like a wuss at the beginning of the U2 song (and I really like U2's early stuff.) Filter's "Nice Shot" seems like it should be used for a highlight reel. I don't like the synthasizers on the end of the Joe Satriani song.

If the Motley Crue song wins, I will never attend another Devils home game. I would rather even have the Barbara Streisand song or "Who Let the Dogs Out" be the song.

I heard from someone I know who works there that some fan sent the suggestion in as a joke and The Devils decided to keep it in the poll as a joke back.Oh dear God, what if that should win? What if Rangers and Flyers fans vote for it. It did make me laugh though, hearing the horn bursts followed by Babs.

Bro Hymn because its amazing, but ole becuae they are from NJ...i would def reccomend Bro Hymn...by far the best.

I'm mixed between Ole!, Bro Hymn, and Crowd Chant... I'm hopin it's one of the 3..


Anyone else think Do it Again is a little repetitive and isn't really a song that can get u excited..

I also think songs from U2, White Zombie, Filter and Montley Crue don't fir the goal song that much.. Much better for anothe ttime of play.. Intros, replays, ect

i voted for pennywise- brohymn

I haven't voted yet because i want to see if I can find a good other song. But out of those it will probably be Ole. I like the crowd chant and think it makes a great goal song but it sounds too much like the Rangers goal song.

Kern Kraft400. I like the song... but it is kinda overplayed in other capacities at NHL games.

Brohymn sounds too much like the Rangers goal song. If the Rangers didnt exist, I'd like it.

Q.o.t.S.A - Do it again, i like it.

Supercharger Heaven also aint too swell IMO... too rough. Unexpected. Needs to flow right into the feelings felt after a goal.

My Suggestion:

The "Epic Song". Its original, and its pretty cool.

Its actually:

* Nightwish - Ghost Love Score

Repetitive is ok for a song that is only played in a 10 second clip.

This is floating around on a few forums. From what I gather it's an original song by a fan who is going to send it to the Devils.

It could use some work, but it's better than the other options they've come up with.

http://media.putfile.com/Hey-Oh-goal-song

I voted other and I put in Superbeast - Rob Zombie I think it's better than super charger heaven atleast the other songs I've never heard.

i think something like Velvet Revolver's Slither or Metallica's Enter Sandman works well....

i rehashed the goal horn w/ those songs where it fits, and hopefully the attachments work

both of those are good, probably enter sandman's a bit better

How about AC/DC "Hells Bells"?

How about AC/DC "Hells Bells"?

They use Hells Bells for the opening video (with the animated devil in the locker room)... I was thinking Thunderstruck would be good, but I'm pretty sure they use that in the video too - right before the Devils take the ice.

Interesting on the survey is this:
Please note that there is only one goal horn being used for this purpose. We plan on using three in game.

3? One for each period?

I was tired of "WHOO-HOO" (a.k.a. Song 2) from Blur back in 1998 when the Senators made it their song in beating NJ in the first round. I still don't want to hear it.

Pennywise on this list is funny. See, if you hear ONE Pennywise song, you pretty much heard them all. I'd rather have Blur over them. (ASIDE to oofrostonoo: Pennywise aren't from NJ, they are from California. The Bouncing Souls, on the other hand, they are originally from New Brunswick, NJ and speaking of them...)

Ole! is on this as well? This is a hockey game, not a damn soccer match!

Anyway, I'm voting for Crowd Chant. I'd also like to vote for Babs for the VISITING team scoring. Maybe it'll deter them from scoring if they have to endure her shrieks...

i think it means after each goal, theyre going to blast the goal horn 3 times, as opposed to the 1 theyre doing now

I'm liking Crowd Chant. The organ part in the end of the song really works well with the fact that CAA has an organ... (i think it has an organ.)

How about AC/DC "Hells Bells"?

Didn't the Devils come onto the ice to Hells Bells?

i think it means after each goal, theyre going to blast the goal horn 3 times, as opposed to the 1 theyre doing now

Bingo. I'm glad we don't do some of the gimmicks other teams do regarding changing the goal horn based on how many times the team has scored, who scored it, etc.

I'm pretty sure Lou would do everything in his power to negate something like that happening. Attributing a song to a specific player would break the concept of the team. Not that I think Lou spends too much time pouring over details like Goal Songs, but I think he would be opposed to it.

Ok...I re-did the Enter Sandman goal song...it's rough as hell, since I'm an Engineer, but I'm sure a professional could smooth out the transition better. I think this is better than anything they have on that poll. (I'm just waiting for Rangers and Flyers fans to spam the hell outta that thing so the evil Barbra Streissand wins)

Pennywise- Bro Hymn. It was between that and Zombie Nation for me and Zombie Nation is played out at all arenas. Bro Hymn is an amazing song and its quick drumroll into the song is good for after a goal.

They should make a "Penalty Song" and play Man in the Box - Alice in Chains. :p

They should make a "Penalty Song" and play Man in the Box - Alice in Chains. :p

They had a penalty song, "I Did It" by Dave Matthews Band. I'm a fan of the band, but it was still pretty lame.

My thoughts on the new goal songs (ones currently in the poll):

1) Crowd Chant - I really, really like this one
2) Do It Again - Also really, really like this one
3) Ole - Nope, this is not soccer
4) Kern Kraft 400 - Like the song, but not unique enough
5) Hey Man Nice Shot - No, don't really like it
6) Song 2 - Definitely not
7) Memory - A horrible, horrible joke
8) Kick Start My Heart - Not bad, but I like others better
9) Brohymn - I like it a lot
10) Elevation - Like it, but not as the goal song
11) Supercharger Heaven - Not bad, but not for the goal song

I hope it's Crowd Chant or Do It Again, and Brohymn isn't bad either. Really don't want Ole or Song 2.

guys, i implore all of you.... vote for DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!

one the song is great.
two, its the closest to the garry glitter song we are getting!!!!!

thanks!

If it ends up as U2, I'm gonna have a hard time going to games. I can't imagine celebrating to that awful awful band.

Sorry, I'm hooked on Crowd Chant at the moment.

Ole! has no place in hockey.

You do realize that probably about 40% of the players in the league are huge "soccer" fans. :)


I'm voting for Babs, because I'm a big fan of making people uncomfortable. :D

Agree.. About half of the songs are like that.. Some don't even have a goal song feel to it

What could ruin this poll could be people that vote the same song over and over again.. You know it's happening. Just have to hope they're doin it for a song u like

havent been around for a few days and I find out about this.........

I know the story behind Glitter but still damn. Its just plain wrong, I remember being punished in 95 and hearing rocknroll when the devils scored from my room, and even taping it while my brother and I played rollerhockey and playing after winning the "stanley garbage can."


Flame away but Gilmour had his "past problem"(not condoning it) and he became a devil after it. The song has history.......I bet if you ask 10 people, at least 6 would say the name of the song is the hockey song. Nothing else would feel right.

What could ruin this poll could be people that vote the same song over and over again.. You know it's happening. Just have to hope they're doin it for a song u like

I'm not positive, but it looks like they set it up so you can't vote for the same song from the same email address more than once. I'm hoping they were smart enough to anticipate that... otherwise I don't think they would have added Babs to the list.

They should play the Babs song when the other teams score.

Crowd Chant is by far the best choice here, although I have a soft spot for 80's metal. (You have to be old enough to have heard it when it was popular I guess).

As soon as I heard Crowd Chant I was hooked.

I heard they're going to be testing out the top couple of songs tonight (based on how many times we score, I guess).... I'm definitely interested to see how they work =)

guys, i implore all of you.... vote for DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!

I'd be interested in knowing which ones are the top couple of songs (votewise).

Well, I voted for Do It Again.

Unfortunately, none of them will ge the crowd reaction RR Part 2 did...the good ol' days are gone...

Well to be honest, I was thinking it might be time for a change. We have had that song for a lonnnnngggg time. At least 12 years, IIRC. Although I was thinking that the new song would work best in the new arena, a year early isn't bad.

I think that was crowd chant for goal #1 tonight ...

I think that was crowd chant for goal #1 tonight ...

Yes it was.. I liked it.. Even though u couldn't hear much cuz Chico was ramblin about something

So we got to hear 3 of the songs tonight..... what did you guys think?

not a fan of the ole song. hockey does not need to copy soccer.

the 2nd one (pennywise) i think was the best, but it was no QOTSA.

The Ole song should be banned league-wide.

Jeez what's with all the hatred towards the Ole song? You'd think they actually played the Streisand one.

For everyone comparing about "this is hockey, not soccer" have you even SEEN a European soccer game? The atmosphere in the crowd is 100x better than any NA sports'. Plus it's a local NJ band, ain't nothin' wrong with that!

I dont like it because it doesnt "fit" into a hockey game.

just saw the Gionta goal in devils in 60 which they should do on fsny......ole song was awesome. The Bouncing Souls are pretty bad ***......ole is a lot better than do it again(which is just a cheesey wanna be techno juice head song)

bouncing souls was a great band back in the day, but ole doesnt fit to hockey.

do it again is a rock song, how you got techno from that i have no idea.

oh ok i looked it up, it does the job......I thought it was that one hit wonder techno song that was big in the mid 90's, you couldnt turn on the radio without hearing it.


FYI: "do it again" i was refering to was recorded by razor and guido, thanks google

I'm watching the Ducks game and they're using Brohymn. Who wants to copy the Ducks?

Someone over at Nj.com started this:

We MUST get the old Devils goal song back. What they are doing is ridiculous. If anyone here is a Devils fan, they will sign the petition at the top of the page. That is the one posted by JiriBicek4Hart. Even if you don't sign the petition, at least cast your vote for "Rock & Roll, pt. 2- Gary Glitter" on the devils website under the goal song poll towards the bottom of the page. You must select "other" before typing in "Rock & Roll, pt. 2- Gary Glitter" and submitting. PLEASE help us get that song back. It creates so much energy at the arena and every devils fan knows it. We don't want to have to get used to a new song.

I'm going to apologize in advance for the tone I'm about to take, but this is starting to get really old.
The Devils are NOT going to bring back R&R Part 2.... The NHL has "highly suggested" that teams not use it, some teams are choosing to take that advice and others are choosing to ignore it. The Devils have always been a very conservative organization and have tried to keep their distance from controversy, this is no different. There has been a change in the way teams pay royalties for music they use. It used to be that the money was sort of a global rights fee that got filtered through some other dispursment organization. Now there is a new rule that the money goes directly to the artist. The Devils do not want to fund Gary Glitter's defense so they are not using his music any more!!
You can vote all you want for R&R part 2, but it's not going to do any good. They are NOT bringing it back. So don't waste your vote on something that's useless. Vote for another song - I know it will not be the same, but at least you're given a choice. The organization DID NOT have to give any of us a choice. They could have stuck with Blur and if we didn't like it, too bad.
Someone at the Devils is putting a lot of work into figuring out what the fans want to hear, it's not right for us to essentially spit in that person's face and scream that we want the old song back. Let's have some respect and take advantage of the opportunity we have to be a part of team history.

Actually, I have, and it's not really that impressive. Depending on the team, maybe the stadium is packed; but half of the time you can't hear whatever supposedly clever chants the stadium is chanting. You can get the same sort of thing watching a NFL or a college football game - at least you can understand "GO GIANTS" or "J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS." The Eagles song after scoring a touchdown, not so much. Furthermore, why in the world would the Devils want to play a song that is nothing more than chanting what bullfighters yell after dodging the bull after scoring? The Devils scored a goal! They didn't dodge anything, they took initiative and got a result!

Plus, based on Manical Laughter and Anchors Aweigh, the Bouncing Souls aren't that great. There are better punk/underground bands to have come out of NJ if you desperately need one.

GOD NO!!! Ole! IS ONE OF THE TOP 3!!! Ahhh!

I am the only one who will miss Blur, it appears. Always enjoyed the "Whoo-Hoo" part. And think the three that won kinda suck, especially friggin' "Ole"...

I like Satch as a player, but that song is hack. And I get enough techno in the third period as it is. Yuck.

Yeah, we were part of history alright. Really dumb history.

i for one like the fact that ole is in the top 3.....i was at the game on Saturday when they played that song when parise scored and i thought it was awesome....i hope that is the choice.

we have the same goal song as rangers

we have the same goal song as rangers

No we don't. The Rangers have a custom goal song, since their's chants "Let's Go Rangers" in the middle of it I doubt the Devils took it.

we have the same goal song as rangers

No...we're using a 3 song rotation with two crappy songs ("Ole" and that incredibly played out Zombie Nation song) and one that I wouldn't mind using - Satch's "Crowd Chant." The Rangers' song is the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure it's called "Howling Mongoloids."

im still a fan of do it again. when ole comes on it ruins things for me.

i also heard rocknroll part 2 on the organ during the ottawa game i believe.

Is it too late for other entries?
