"All Right Now" at least fits the fan mindset after a TD or a basketball win.
Of course, if "All Right Now" were to be replaced it should be with a contemporary song. So all of you with dreams of alternate 70s or 80s classic rock tunes are missing the mark. Sit in the stands during pre-game warm-ups because one of THOSE songs would be the appropriate update, if we are going to update by converting a pop tune to fight song. Think - Kayne, 50 cent, One Direction, Demi Lovato, etc. And once THAT set of options is on the table, "All Right Now" is looking all right for now.
Alternatively, the school could go and convert a pop song for the Pac-12's true target audience---ASIA. Perhaps a new fight song could help capture the attention of that Asian market. A quick conversion of J-Pop, K-Pop or the ultimate 1st mover advantage C-pop could bring home some new views AND online subscriber money! Stanford might have light viewership in the USA, but we could be the most popular college football team for 1.3+ billion people in China!!! ::)
