It's always a hot topic for Raptors fans before every season: What should be the intro song used at the Air Canada Centre before announcing the starting lineup in 2008-09? The rules are the same as with the first commenter draft. I make the first pick and then you each make your picks in the comments. Once somebody makes a pick, it's off the board. And once you make a pick, you can't make another pick until five more picks are made after yours. My first suggestion for the ideal intro song for the Raptors this season is "Clocks" by Coldplay. The haunting beauty of this song's elegant melody symbolizes the beautiful potential of this year's squad. The opening lyric of "The lights go out and I can't be saved" refers to the fact that once the lights go out as the song starts to be played and the players are introduced, the Raptors' opponents can't be saved from certain defeat. And most importantly, it's a well-known, non-threatening song that would be suitable for a family-friendly environment. I'm kidding, of course. I'm not really a bed-wetter. My real choice is "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J. Not a very original choice, admittedly, but it's still a badass song that has held up well. Naturally, they'd show Jermaine O'Neal on the screen when LL yells, "Don't call it a comeback! I been here for years!" And the line "Competition's payin' the price!" speaks for itself. As an added bonus, we might get to see Roko Ukic bobbin' and jabbin' on the screen like the Croatian gangsta he is. Just try to top that pick in the comments. I challenge you! |
