In the music video for Miss Atomic Bomb, which is a sequel of sorts to Mr Brightside, we see that it really was all in the protagonist’s head. It’s actually kinda sad.

But yeah the lyrics are a little iffy for those older BYU fans

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

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

They played it at the Baylor game

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

AltTabbins

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

Str8CashCougar

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

stoils

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

Str8CashCougar

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