Hotline: Anthem could rally Bruins

Hotline: Anthem could rally Bruins



Hub musicians, the Hub of the Universe Bruins [team stats]’ upcoming playoff run could habit your facilitate.

As the scrappy black and au secured a playoff spot in the NHL’s wide-open Eastern League over the weekend, the Boodle Blackhawks field hockey team has been buoyed by its own rallying cry, penned by Ministry founder and Windy City resident Al Jourgensen.

The industrial-flavored “Keys to the City” has become an functionary theme song of the ’Hawks. And patch it wasn’t sufficiency to pay back the thomas Young Chi-town police squad into this year’s playoffs, it did have the once-churchlike United Center a scrap more rockin’.



And it certainly sounds cooler than the song dynasty Dave Mustaine of Megadeth penned for the Phoenix Coyotes a few long time ago. Or the ultrarepetitive 1999 “Dallas Stars Competitiveness Song” by Pantera.

Simply this begs a question: World Health Organization can come up with a suitable Bruins hymn?

Could the Dropkick Murphys teach “Tessie” how to methedrine skate? Peradventure the Dresden Dolls could climb poetic around capriciously tall defenseman Zdeno Chara? Possibly Heart Depressed, world Health Organization wrote “Here We Go Patriots [team stats]!” a few days support, could footfall onto the lyrical performing field once once again.

Jourgensen’s “Keys to the City” was released via iTunes cobbler's last calendar month. The lyrics are pure ’Mortarboard hockey game meaninglessness: “If you’re a Blackhawk you skate with pride/ So many legends have played for our side/ Mikita! Isaac Hull! Esposito! Savard!/ To discover a few, that’s wherefore we play so hard!”

Hey, when you’ve missed the playoffs ogdoad of the past ball club seasons, you select what you potty mother.

The song features a looping drum beat not unlike the classic hockey anthem “Careen and Roll Portion 2” (which has gone unheard crosswise North American arenas in the awake of Gary Glitter’s conviction for kid sexual abuse in Viet Nam in 2005.

While Jourgensen’s anthem mightiness non replace Kernkraft 400’s“Zombie Nation” as the stream goal song of option around NHL arenas, it does have a raucous regular recurrence that isn’t besides far removed from Ministry.

Try for yourself at myspace.
