Skip: Music Choices Late In the Sixers/Tigers game
Over the years I have been vocal about the music at the Sixers game ... I very much dislike it but over the years I have come to understand the need for it. And as much as I dislike the music I think Skip does a decent job - better that any of his predecessors.
I say the following only because I believe that skip looks for constructive critiscm - so with the game in the balance "Hey Baby" by DJ Otzi and "YMCA" by the Village People were 2 very poor choices.
I can't understand the need to play 2 smiley, let's all be involved, family fun, happy clapper songs in such a tense moment. It is my belief that the crowd relaxs with those kind of tracks. Why not play something foreboding, exiting, edgy ... a "Welcome to the Jungle" or something of that ilk ...even the generic moody music that you play at the start of the game would be good.
I understand the need to get the crowd and families invloved ... I noted that during the time when you were played these songs in the late stages of the game that it was mainly the underage kids and the oldies that were clapping along and the "hardcore" fan was sitting in silence understanding the state of the game. A rousing song in this stage could easily set the tone for the true Sixer fan to get behind their team.
I'm just saying is all ...
