The Iowa Wild Rocks!

If you know me, you know that I'm as super excited about the Iowa Wild coming to Des Moines as I was when the Iowa Barnstormers returned.  I loved the pro hockey of the Iowa Stars and Iowa Chops and I can not wait for the AHL season to start this fall.

But before we can properly begin a new season with a new team, there are some incredibly important questions that need to be answered. 

What should be the theme song for the Iowa Wild?  What song do you want to hear at every game?  Here are a few ideas:


The obvious:
1. Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf

2. Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed
    The title alone would be a great fit but the rest of the song probably isn't the best material for family consumption.  If only nobody in the universe knew what this song was about.....

3. Wild Boys by Duran Duran
    Getting warmer.....

4. Wild Night by John Mellencamp
    (or if you prefer the Van Morrison version )  I totally dig the bass in JCM's versions though.

5. Wild Thing by the Troggs
    Another somewhat obvious choice, but does it rock hard enough for hockey?  Maybe the Sam Kinison version?

6. Wild Wild Life by Talking Heads
    Maybe they can play this when the game is in hand and things are going well....

7. Call of the Wild by Eclipse
    Probably not known by most folks, at least in America, but may be my personal favorite.  The band, and the song, rocks....HARD

I know there are many many more possibilities, but these are just a few of the highlights.  Such an important issue needs to be dealt with with much diligence.  So make sure to listen to all the songs before you vote .

P.S.  This is for entertainment purposes only.  This poll will have pretty much no impact on how the Iowa Wild will run their game time music.
