The past few years I've noticed a few additions to the band repertoire during actual game action:

Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes during big moments - despite the fact that almost every college and pro team of any sport now plays this song at some point during a game, it still gives me chills when it comes on. I think we do a good job of saving it for truly key defensive stands in the fourth quarter.

Shots! by LMFAO ft Lil' Jon - Don't recall whether this is spontaneous or keyed by a certain event - maybe on a key first down? It always seems popular in the student section.

Any other action-specific music that I should be on the watch for next year?

Hell no, I don't want to see (or hear) that "All Right Now" has been replaced. Sure it doesn't have the martial quality of a traditional college fight song but at this point I can't ever see LSJUMB ever playing anything remotely like 'Fight On' or the UCLA/kal song; in fact, just the thought of that coming out of the Band section at any Stanford home game makes me cringe.

I will admit that some rock/pop/whatever songs translate better than others. "Love Cats" by the Cure? Not so much. "White Punks on Dope" by The Tubes?? Love that song and I've been sad to see that it's kinda fallen out of the Band's repertoire. I am surprised, though, at some of the songs that have escaped the Band. "Kashmir??" C'mon, guys! In hindsight, that should have been an obvious addition (and a long time ago at that) but 'zona was the first school I heard play it and now so do many others.

What I wouldn't mind hearing is better musicianship out of the LSJUMB because when you see someone running around the field banging on a stainless steel sink, it's clear that that's not a prority.
