You Pick the Song: Super Bowl Highlight Video

I'm ready to make another music video.  This time I'm going to use highlights from this year's Super Bowl, and once again, I'd like you to help me pick the perfect song.

The most obvious would be "When the Saints Go Marching In," but I would have no idea which version to go out and get, and I'm sure there are thousands.  I have one version by Louis Armstrong, but I'm looking for something with more intensity (can you imagine Mardi Gras this year? - I've been there, and I can't imagine how crazy it's going to be this year).

Marilyn Manson has a song called, "(S)Ain't" but I'd like to avoid explicit lyrics, even if Marilyn Manson's music fits well with violent football imagery. 

"The Saints are Coming" byU2andGreen Day is another top contender, especially since they did the song live in New Orleans for Monday Night Football right after the Saints got their stadium back after Hurricane Katrina.  It also starts off slow (like the Saints did in the 1st quarter), but then picks up the pace, and never looks back.

I'd love to do "Tick Tock" or "SRV Shuffle" by The Louisiana Gator Boys, but I don't think enuf people will catch the connection (who saw Blues Brothers 2000?).

"The House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals specifically mentions New Orleans, as does "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry.  But since none of the main players were named "Johnny" it just doesn't seem appropriate.

Drew Brees was clearly the man of the hour, so "Summer Breeze" comes to mind, but even Type O Negative can't give that song enuf life for a football video (plus the fact that it happened in February so the "Summer" part would totally not fit).

Kid Rock has a song called "New Orleans" and Arlo Guthrie has "The City of New Orleans," but neither of these feel right either.  Nor does "Witch Queen of New Orleans" by Redbone.

Considering the Saints made it TO the Super Bowl because of an interception (from Brett Favre to beat the Vikings), AND secured the win IN the Super Bowl with an interception (from Peyton Manning to beat the Colts), I was trying to think of something to do with "catch," "caught," "mine now," "give me that," something along those lines.

Or since it was their first year in the Super Bowl and their first win, something with "first" ("Feels Like the First Time" by Foreigner actually implies that it is no longer the first time).

"Back on My Feet Again" by The Babys also comes to mind for the whole re-building after Katrina thing.  Another song thrown up by my search is The Doobie Brothers, "Dark Eyed Cajun Woman."

And finally, the halftime show was by The Who, so how about "You Better You Bet," or one of their other songs like "Who Are You?" (since they actually played this one and it goes along with all the 'Who Dat?' stuff)?

Ok.  Those are my ideas.  Now give me yours.  Please and Thank You. 

Well I actually have a team called House of the Rising Sun and that too is a winning team so you should choose that one 

you could incorporate some cajun french music but then again not everyone likes that... who dat!

Is there some song with something like "you got really lucky that Manning threw that pick" in the title? :-)

LOL - I don't think we'll find anything quite that specific. 

Well, you won't find anything more accurate either ;-)

except that the saints were already ahead... so they were doing better than just being lucky. So I guess the lucky idea won't work...

Dude, the colts were outplayed, Manning threw that pick because he was under immense pressure. If you want to know an example of what position he was in, i'll tell. It's like being the batter with the bases loaded, in the ninth inning with two outs, you're down by 3, and it's game 7 of the World Series. I hate manning and the colts, and i was so happy when he threw it. How about a song called, "First the Colts ruin the Jets' run at the Super Bowl, and then lose by 14 IN the Super Bowl." :-)

I did find one that someone already made - maybe it will give you some ideas...
