I can't do every song that comes up on shuffle for hockey (although I can tell you now I'm overinvested), but some highlights include:
1. Saffire - Middle Aged Blues Boogie as an hilariously perfect song for the Edmonton Oilers, who are clearly all about the young men.
2. MCR - Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back, definitely, as a vid about an injury-heavy, hard-fought, losing season. Blackhawks last year, maybe.
3. Eminem - The Real Slim Shady. I would pay actual money to see a vid of Sidney Crosby to this song, because it is the LEAST Sidney-Crosbyish song ever but it would so work. With that video of him and the kids' hockey thing where they're ALL wearing number 87 and swarming around him like an army of TINY SIDNEY CROSBIES, oh my god.
4. Alanis Morisette - You Oughta Know as a SPURNED GOALIE SONG. Maybe about the whole Vancouver situation, with, "Oh, we're going to trade Luongo and go with Cory Schneider! OH WAIT LUONGO'S PLAYING WELL LET'S KEEP HIM." :| I mean, I don't dislike Luongo! But goalies get pushed aside so easily and I have a lot of feelings about it.
I keep running into songs that I already have really strong mental vids for, either actual vids like Handlebars or just other fandom themes that I've already slotted them into.
But Sidney Crosby as Slim Shady, I need to keep that in mind.
