I've heard from a source that John Cougar Mellencamp has been commissioned to provide an updated, 21st century fight song for Purdue University. It should be in place for the football season so an autotuned version can run during the timeouts or, in the event the game is too far out of reach to need timeouts, to replace "Shout."
I've also received word that one or two people complained "Boiler Up" is stupid and the song will remove any chance to yell that during the song
I have a preview of the chorus and first verse. I think it does a good job of capturing the fan experience in general, but I think Gold Seats establishes enough individuality for Purdue.
Gold Seats
So worth payin' for
Gold Seats
Next year, pay some more
Gold Seats
In the watchin' groove
Gold Seats
Coach, stop whinin' MOVE
Looking back on dumb things I did
I sure was one stupid kid
Timeouts chantin a certain team sucks
Thinkin student seats should cost less bucks
woo-woo um-hum yeah-yeah that's how it is
oh my oh gosh rock that Go Team biz
Now I try and clap politely
tithe or better to the JPC
Just respecting the sport that's me
I won't even boo Will Sheehee
woo-woo um-hum yeah-yeah that's how it is
oh my oh gosh rock that Go Team biz
