Red Wings Songs - My Choices

Since I don’t feel like writing about the lockout, and I haven’t been able to watch any Griffins games recently, I’m going to change it up a bit on this here blog.  I’m going to go through the Wings roster and for each player, dedicate a song based on a random feeling I have about said player.  This could be amazing or fucking terrible (probably the “fucking terrible” part).  Here…we…go!

Justin Abdelkader

Creed – Higher

Reasoning – That’s where Abby likes to take his stick.

Todd Bertuzzi

Is there a theme song to the “Grumpy Old Men” movie?

Reasoning – Bert seems like a Grumpy Old Man.

Damien Brunner

Katy Perry – Firework

Reasoning – It’s a goddamn catchy song that hopefully will describe Brunner’s play if the NHL ever resumes.

Dan Cleary

Metallica – Last Caress (Danzig cover)

Reasoning – The first line “I’ve got something to say, I killed a baby today”

Pavel Datsyuk

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles these song

Reasoning – Ninja!

Patrick Eaves

Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy

Reasoning – A couple of my friends nicknamed Eaves “The Sextacy” for reasons because he’s really sexy.

Cory Emmerton

Not important enough for me to think of a song.

Valtteri Filppula

Green Day – Waiting

Reasoning – We’ve been waiting forever for him to have his breakout year and when he kinda did, FUCK YOU LOCKOUT FUCK YOU.

Johan Franzen

Lostprophets – Start Something

Reasoning – Obvious song is obvious.

Darren Helm

Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone

Reasoning – I didn’t do this to be cunning, did I?

Drew Miller

Michigan State Fight Song

Reasoning – He went to MSU and I went to MSU and he’s awesome and MSU is awesome and Michigan sucks GO GREEN. Also, Miller rules.

Jan Mursak

Dragonforce – Through The Fire And The Flames

Reasoning – That song is about as fast as Mursak…and the Flames part reminds of when he grew a tail:

Gustav Nyquist

Foo Fighters – Walk

Reasoning – One of my favorite newer songs and my favorite young player.  Lots of awesomeness here.

Mikael Samuelsson

LFO – Summer Girls

Reasoning – My least favorite player ever and my all-time favorite least favorite song ever.

Tomas “THE SOUSE” Tatar

Foo Fighters – My Hero

Reasoning – Because Sousequist deserves awesome Foo Fighters songs and this song rules and Souse is one of my heroes so deal with it.

Jordin Tootoo

Britney Spears – You Drive Me Crazy

Reasoning – Because he fucking drove me crazy with Nashville.  Less of him and more of those stupid whistles.

Henrik Zetterberg

ZZ Top – Sharp Dressed Man

Reasoning – Because Hank just looks fucking pimp.  Exhibit A:

Carlo Colaiacovo

I don’t really have a song, but I could look at this gif all day long:

Jonathan Ericsson

Dream Theater – Panic Attack

Reasoning – While he’s very much improved, when he has the puck, it can still be scary.

Jakub Kindl

Incubus – Nice To Know You

Reasoning – Goodbye.

Niklas Kronwall

Metallica – Damage Inc.

Reasoning – Mostly because I enjoy watching him cause damage to opposing right wingers.

Kyle Quincey

The sound of silence

Reasoning – Because he sucked ass last year but I know he can play better, so I won’t give him a song yet.

Brendan Smith

Dr Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) – Brand New Day

Reasoning – It’s time, bitches.

Ian White

Drive Shaft – You All Everybody

Reasoning – It’s from the show LOST which is what Ian White (and all of us will be) without Jesus Lidstrom there to help him out.

Jonas Gustavsson

Weezer – My Name Is Jonas

Reasoning – His Name Is Jonas

Jimmy Howard

The Dexter Theme Music

Reasoning – Jimmy just seems kinda badass like Dexter.  I just think it fits.

BONUS

Nicklas Lidstrom

Dream Theater – Metropolis

Reasoning – The song is probably my all time favorite song for my all time favorite player.  Plus, the lyrics deal with two different people being connected by the same spirit.  Hopefully, that person is currently in the Wings system…
