No hyperbole. There is nothing that makes the FOB song "perfect" for a goal song, or any type of song. As others have suggested, it gets annoying really fast, its by a band that most can't stand, and it would be a laughable addition to the Flames presentation, and mark my words, people would see it as an embarrassment about a month into the season if it got selected.

I don't actually see how anyone could say that its perfect. Just because it has "chanting" and is "modern" and mentions fire doesn't do it for me. I don't know why we have to copy other arenas but do it in the most annoying lame fashion possible. The Flames should pave their own way with their goal song, not try to do what the Rangers or Hawks do -- at least theirs are somewhat cool, not a really annoying pop punk boy band. If you're gonna the general rules of the "goal song" then at least do it by a respectable band, not some annoying tripe that the opposition and their fans will laugh at and follow up by "lighting up" our young team.

And for those who say the band shouldn't matter -- if we dig up a Celine Dion song that mentions fire and has chanting would that be suitable?
