In last week’s poll we asked, ‘What song would most pump up the Bombers pre-game? For the first time in this year’s polls, most voters selected ‘other’. The most popular song offered was ‘Eye of the Tiger’ with 19.22% of votes, followed by ACDC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ and finally ‘Uprising’, ‘Awesome’ and ‘No-one knows’, all with 3.62% of votes.
Here’s what some of our voters had to say last week:
Bombernut from Vic says: Lose Yourself by Eminem should be on that list. No matter what type of music you listen to everyone loves that song and it sure gets the blood pumping!!
Michael from Tranmere Hobart Tasmania says: Man slim picking for choice. For a pump up song you CAN NOT go past: ‘Killing in the name of’ -Rage against the machine, ‘Sober’ –Tool, ‘Go’ -Pearl Jam, ‘The Pretender’ -Foo Fighters, ‘Man in a box’ -Alice in Chains and ‘The Best of you’ -Foo Fighters. Get these songs in ya lads!
Angie Baron from Vic says: Another suggestion: Back Street Boys ""I'll be the One"". It’s really uplifting and team-spirited.
Mark Lees from Bendigo/Victoria/Australia says: Fuel - Metallica....
Leon Tyrrell from South Australia says: The theme song from the ""Rocky"" movie-""Gonna Fly Now""-fantastic uplifting song. I used to play it back in our change rooms before we went out on the field before the game.
Kris from Tokyo says: Where’s 'Playing to Win' by LRB? How about 'See The Bombers Fly Up'???
Geoff from Essendon says: Metallica - Master of puppets. Enough said
Charlie Fyffe from Kew says: Best Pump up Song is 'Party Up (Up in Here)' - DMX
Peter Nagle from Mulgrave says: Should try Tub Thumbing, or ""Had a Dream"". By Roger Hogdsons, or the 2000 footy theme ""Stand Tough""
Matt from Aus says: See the Bombers fly up
Justin Millard from Quambatook says: I reckon the opposition theme tune would be enough to get them riled and pumped up before the game!
Phil from Brisbane says: I would say that something that would pump the boys up more is watching the last 5 mins of the Anzac clash 2009. I still get a shive down my spine when I see it, and I watch it every time I’ve got a game coming up
John from W.A says: Bloody Beetroots
Brad from Vic says: Not so much a song but a YouTube clip ""I am a champion""... a speech from an American football coach fires anybody up. Will not bow by breaking Benjamin is good pump up song.
Ciaran Broderick from Craigieburn, Victoria says: I personally like ""Burn It to the Ground"" by Nickelback, and I think it would be a good pre-game song for a must win game. Eye of the Tiger and Thunderstruck are good options, not familiar with ""Awesome"" by The Bloody Beetroots, and I like No-one Knows and Uprising but I don't think they're motivating
Ciaran Broderick from Craigieburn says: I also like Bound for Glory by Angry Anderson
Gary Walker from NSW says: A Hero Comes Home (Beowulf) sung by Idina Menzel I like its quiet resoluteness - it echoes one’s unrelenting resolve until they succeed.
Pesche from Mckinnon says: How can you go past Frank Stallone's 'Far from over'?? It’s possibly the greatest pump up song of all time.
Sarah Theuma from Victoria says: What about Snake skin by Gyroscope?
Dale Jorgensen from NSW says: Forgiven by Disturbed. Because I am disturbed by their performances but being a bomber fan for life they will always be forgiven. And it is from the Ten Thousand Fists album that has a man raising his fist on the cover, which is what the bombers were doing during games this year.
Klaus Erbgut from East Keilor/Vic/Australia says: Set up a monitor in the dressing rooms and show them a selection of clips from great and courageous moments of play from past games. Supplement this with commentary and suitable music.
Michael S from Mill Park Vic says: I think we need more than a song to get the Bombers through this though period; we might need to throw in a movie as well probably Rocky.
Gaz says: Far from over, Frank Stallone
