Re: Sports Song
Well, within Harry Potter, Quidditch actually is a big stadium sport. So while it's nerdy it wouldn't really be ironic. But yeah, I'd love a big ballad about sports like curling, chess, bowling, etc. Sports that typically aren't associated with epic arenas.WeirdAbbott wrote:While I'm not the biggest KISS fan, I would love to see an arena-rock themed anthem about curling, chess, Quidditch, or other nerdy/obscure "sports". I think that'd be the way to go, rather than a repeat of the Garfunkle and Oates song (which I don't think could be improved on if it's the same topic.)tomatochives wrote:Here's the twist... It's not about CONTACT sports!
Imagine an anthem to golf, tennis, chess, curling and (most likely with Al) bowling, in the style of stadium glam rock!

Re: Sports Song
True, but there are people that actually do play quidditch (minus the flying) so that brings it back down to incredibly nerdy and not a big stadium sportdrewdy9999 wrote:Well, within Harry Potter, Quidditch actually is a big stadium sport.

- Decent song, I like the target and the idea but this feels like it was on the cutting room floor of his debut album.

- I'm not a huge fan of this one after the first listen. It feels pretty generic and not at all current. Hoping it will grow on me as I listen to it more and more!

- There was something very Tom Lehrer-esque about this song. Or maybe it just reminded me of "Fight Fiercely, Harvard" because of the genre.
