The change in music was meant to get the crowd involved. Certainly upbeat style music has been the norm at sixers games, however, the use of organ style music was suggested as this is similar to what is used in the NBA and at college games. Maybe the problem is that fans are not used this type of music because it has never been part of the basketball culture in Australia. I'm sure that the 36ers management would be interested in constructive feedback from fans.

Two words......

it sucks.

Hey Sturty

What would you like to hear then?

Some Burt Bacharach or Nana Mouskouri, something for us older folk. Even that young Barry Manilow belts out a good tune.

When my baby, oh when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio..........

Hehe, I'll see what I can do.

More variety in the organ music otherwise it can get repetitive. Other NBL teams have some that could be tried.

I believe Skip is back at the keyboard tomorrow night. He did a good job last time - see what he has for the fans this time.

Thanks anon, whoever you are!

I am open to suggestions, no promises tho Im afraid.

Isaac - As for the organ music. I have a couple of new ones to bring out tomorrow night.

Looking forward to it. There's just that one of the current batch which gets a bit stale after the fourth time for the night.

The music at the Dome is generally too loud for that speaker system...it doesn't sound good, especially when something like 'Jump Around' comes on. Having pop songs and all that doesn't really liven up the crowd, it seems to subdue them more.

What we really need is to attract more people who aren't scared to use their voice. If we had a stadium packed full of loud sixers fans, no music would even be necessary.

100% agree. The less music I have to play because the crowd is so loud, the better!

.....and I want to hear 'Three Blind Mice', just once. Please, please, please Skip? Don't make me beg.

A few people have suggested Three Blind Mice to me, as well as bringing back 'You Suck!'. I'll see what I can do.

"You Suck" wasn't very PC and probably drew the ire of the league, but boy did it fire up the crowd! Have heard it suggested that people could instead yell "Good game" or something similarly candy-coated, but I don't if that'd be quite as entertaining.

Due inlight to Vanilla Ice is performing now in Adelaide. Play more Vanilla Ice

The way the 36ers is going maybe time to play the BEE GEES " Staying Alive " or maybe Rolling Stones " Start Me Up ' ?

Bit tired of this debate. Firstly as Isaac pointed out, sixers management wanted NBA style organ music, dump most of the songs from last season, and have a bit more fun with sound effects and movie stings. If we were to play songs they should not play for very long and preferably not during offence.
After consulting with the game day operations manager for an NBA team, we were given heaps of their chants and organ stuff. We have tried all of the NBA team stuff and the two that get used mostly now, are the only two the crowd get into.
Music is subjective. Someone dislikes a 1 song on the play list, and therefore will post here, saying, "the music sucks". Or people post saying, "Play more modern stuff, or beats, or old school". The trouble is, you like it others don't. Last season we had over 200 songs on the play list from beats to Beatles and that was the most complained about season in history! Coincidently that was the worst season the sixers had in recent memory. Skip is now like me last season. Staying awake at night thinking of all the possibilities of songs to play. History says that too much music ends in tears. For now, we listen to the management.

mc hammer - cant touch this... would be funny to hear when someone throws it down

stop collaborate and listen, i think they should play the "can you feel it" jackson 5 song at the end if we are winning like they used to ( i caution IF we are winning) i think the organ stuff is ok just tone it down so its not running every play.

i think cant touch this should be saved for Chappell.

You Suck should be saved for players ie Shane Heal or if someone does something that annoys the spectators.

We still play "can you feel it" when we are winning. We never stopped. Just not that many W's these days.

My favourite song played at a sixers game agains the breakers when all of a sudden i hear... Baa Baa Black sheep have u any wool??? Good lord i was in tears. COngrats to whoever was in charge that night... I personally like to hear the dome shaking it sounds awesome... i question the silly little remarks that get played that sound like somthing out of a cartoon every now and then. i can never understand wat it says and y... Lets bring back powderfinger... "baby i got u on my mind!!!"

Sadie was an interesting choice when you're trying to motivate the floor wipers, not embarrass them. ;)
