Is BYU under-leveraging Mr. Brightside? Some of the biggest CFB programs use it

all the time, but does BYU? I know Brandon Flowers didn't attend BYU but he has siblings who did.

Today I saw this tweet:

To my beautiful 161 followers… what song could BYU football play during their runout to attempt to replicate this? I love the game experience as a whole, I just find the runout lacking… I’ll start with Thunderstruck by AC/DC or Tellin’ you Y by JTM https://t.co/tjVher6oZP

And I think the perfect song for BYU is Mr. Brightside. Maybe just play the instrumentals for a walkout song.

Isn't that song about a girl cheating on her boyfriend, and the other guy smoking then taking off her dress...

Awesome, I didn't notice it was played. It's a great song. I did notice the TV timeout event had the student section

BYU doesn't pay attention to lyrics. They care about the band's name though

Lol. Great band

after winning Velour battle of bands in their first month they tried to play

A few years ago they were playing “Party Rock Anthem.” We were laughing about

They played it each game last year and at the Baylor game.

They played about 1 minute straight of it with the whole student section

Technically, it’s about a guy who THINKS his girlfriend is cheating

Well that Michigan video was underwhelming.

Yep. Completely on brand for Michigan.

Good luck with that

As mentioned above, they already play it regularly

There are literally thousands of songs better than Mr Brightside for that type of atmosphere

I don't think you know what "literally" means

I agree they need major help with the walk out… I think they should go with some

I would love to see Orion by Metallica be the running out song. It’s purely

The intro to Memento Mori by Lamb of God would be amazing as an intro song but I think it's too intense for the BYU

I think Come Come Ye Saints would be the most appropriate. Remember, this is the Lord's school. We need to be respectful

Probably not. That song is awesome but disturbing lyrics & even more disturbing

This should be the field entrance song...

Coug

9/23/22 10:31am

BYU should commission the Killers to write a custom entrance jam.

9/23/22 10:31am

Can you imagine doing the dynamic stress/compression calculations on that many fatties bouncing in unison?

9/23/22 10:49am

We should copy Dixieland Delight from Bama but replace the lyrics with Utah, USU (and Boise too)

I might be wrong but didn’t they play this song at the Baylor game?

BYU is underleveraging Mr. BLUE Sky

Concur. Perfect for LES and Cougars. Blue sky.

I've always dreamed of having this as my walkup music.

There have been multiple threads about this in the past. We should gather them

I just wish we could replicate this

For those who attended the Oregon game they do a "Shout" video between the 3rd

I would have thought Mr. Brightside would be a big hit with BYU students.

There's no way that song would fly at a BYU game. Too many touchy subjects and

AltTabbins

9/23/22 3:21pm

I guess you didn't notice they play it every game.

9/23/22 3:38pm

What part of the song do they play?

AltTabbins

9/23/22 5:25pm

The part about taking off her dress

9/23/22 5:40pm

The only leverage that matters is at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary

I think this version of Separate Ways by Journey would be awesome during a game.
