Really, really like that idea. But my question would be how NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would take that topic material being brought up in the middle of his sport's biggest self-celebration and self-promotion, if of course Al was to be asked to perform.Skippy wrote:I don't know.

Good point. A song like that would pretty much guarantee that Al was never, ever asked to perform at the Super Bowl. It would be awesome though.

Re: The "Super Bowl" Track (different than "Epic"!)
I'm not sure how much comedic gold can be mined from chronic traumatic encephalopathy. I could see mixing up sports as funny. I have caught myself on more than one occasion asking Greg what inning it was during a Broncos game. Also, as Al and I were reading MAD magazine in the same era, I'm sure he remembers their descriptions of 49 ( or was it 42?) man squeamish. I also find the role of special teams in football hilarious. The left-footed-into-the-wind-unless-it-is-snowing-or-the-moon-is-full place kicker, for example.Skippy wrote:I don't know.

Based on the track listing announcement, I'm guessing this is

- Spoiler:
- Clearly. I find the title itself to be rather funny. I know it's been talked about on the forum that Al has never done any sports-related songs before. The title seems like Al's way of saying, "Here's your stupid obligatory sports song."
I'm also wondering if this might be a style parody of KISS or some other arena-style rock band. Could be.
