Therefore, the Chiefs continued that tradition from 2006 through 2014 by using a cover of the song. Since 2006, the NFL banned all of Glitter’s songs from its facilities in 2006 due to sexual abuse charges in Vietnam. If you listen closely here, you’ll notice this is not the same version of the song as the one Glitter performed. But the Chiefs have played a cover of “Rock ‘N’ Roll Part 2,” while knowing that Glitter was being investigated. Yes, even with all the covers to the song, it is Glitter who is the mastermind behind the song. My question is, why can’t the team stay connected to the song, but distance themselves from the artist? The problem is, Donovan said the Chiefs don’t want to be connected to the song. The Chiefs must bring back “Rock ‘N’ Roll Part 2” as their traditional touchdown song. Now would be the perfect time to have the “intimidation factor” to go alongside the team’s dominance. The Chiefs currently have one of the best teams in the NFL today with a superstar quarterback in Patrick Mahomes, earning the first ever MVP honor in franchise history. While it is a popular song, it does not deliver the same vibe at Arrowhead Stadium. Now, the Chiefs’ new touchdown song is “Let Me Clear My Throat” by DJ Kool, which was one of the options for fans to vote for in 2015. Having attended the first home game in 2015 in which the song was used, I remember when the “we’re gonna beat the hell out of you, you, you-you-you” part of the song came, and hardly any of the fans saw it coming nor knew when to chant it. Regardless, the new touchdown song did not last long at Arrowhead. Reaching out to a local band was probably easier than reaching out to DJ Kool or Blur, but I digress. I say “apparently” because after the vote, the team reached out to David George and A Crooked Mile, asking the band to incorporate the “we’re gonna beat the hell out of you, you, you-you-you” chant into the song. The options were “Hey, Kansas City!” by David George and A Crooked Mile, “Let Me Clear My Throat” by DJ Kool and “Song 2” by Blur.Īpparently, voters picked “Hey, Kansas City!” as the new touchdown song.
