Barenaked Ladies sure mailed it in on this one. Sooooo soooo lame.

Honestly I’d say Blackpool Lights got it best – the lyric-less chanting makes for a song that could actually be chanted by an entire stadium of American sports fans. I’d say the same of the RJD2 song, but the line about “the Buckeyes ain’t the only game in town” just made me feel bad for Ohio.

OK Go did a nice, not-too-cheesy job. If I didn’t hate the Dynamo I might play Mike Jones’ track at my parties. The Revs’ song… about as offbeat and whiny as their performance in Colorado tonight.

I respect DC more now because of the Bad Brains song. Bad Brains fuckin’ rocks!

Deuce should’ve teamed up with Mike Jones to make the Dynamo’s track even slicker.

I love that Rapture song, but that’s one weird choice for a sports anthem .. OK, wait, a quick search shows that they changed the lyrics for soccer-related purposes. Never mind.

And I’m so thrilled that a DC sports team has recognized the Bad Brains that I will refrain from any further snarkiness.

Why don’t the Revs get Deuce to do their song?

If Michael Bolton sung their anthem the Tampa Bay Rowdies would still be around.

“bands that I’ve never heard of,” are you serious? Bad Brains, RJD2, OK Go…surely you’re mistaken? Or do you fancy yourself a Michael Bolton, Christopher Cross kind of guy?
