I Hate Doop.

by bfrank27 on Oct 31, 2011 11:10 PM EDT

Ever since the Flyers changed the goal song last year in the playoffs, I've really had a hard time warming up to "Doop." I still don't like it, and as I was watching a couple games on GCL tonight, I think I finally figured out why.

The "late game" if you can call an 8:30 start a late game, was Nashville at Chicago, and I switched it to the large view after the Jets-Panthers game went to the shootout (I Hate the Shootout.) Score was 3-2 Preds, and the third period was just getting started. Patrick Kane scored to tie the game at 3, and of course the terrible Chicago goal song starts up with the very "doop doop doop doop" that has a sound too similar to our new goal song for my liking. I seem to recall a majority of people having a strong dislike for "Chelsea Dagger" what are your feelings on "Doop" what are your thoughts?

*I get the whole Union thing with it, but I still don't like it as a goal song.*

I’ve never been to the WFC in the DOOP era, but as many people that dislike DOOP as the Flyers goal song, there are others that really enjoy it.

Music is all about personal taste. Unless we’re talking about Nickelback.

I hate DOOP for the Flyers as well. It’s not a hockey song and it does not have the Flyers feel or energy. However, it sounds nothing like “Chelsea Dagger.” I don’t think that criticism is valid.

Agreed with everything Shaun said.

I hate Doop for Doop in hockey. I have no problem with it at the Union games, just hate hearing it at the WFC.

The fact that it’s a song for ANOTHER PRO PHILADELPHIA SPORTS TEAM should disqualify it from contention. The song sucks, which is another reason why it shouldn’t be played, but seriously, according to my iTunes, there’s at least 50 other songs in the world. Why not use one of those?

doop is poop

don’t like it, blame briere, i read somewhere it was his idea to borrow from the soccer team

i was at the game Sat vs. Canes. however, i was more entertained by the rapid goal scoring in the third and did not really pay attention to the stupid song.

my idea for goal song

check out the lyrics for the 5FDP song ‘back for more’ (which would also be a good phrase/slogan for this year/team

i would use the chorus clip as goal song. i also like hard rock.

Let’s it get on!
It’s time to get in the game, You gotta fight til it hurts and then you do it again
Let’s tear it up!
I’m stayin straight to the core, ain’t no room for second place, go big or go home!

Rise!
It’s dog eat dog
Rise!
Man versus beast
Rise!
The strong will survive
Rise!
I’ve got no time for the Weak

It’s time to rise up, man up, get back up, never been and won’t be broken
Just stop and then come back for more
You’ve gotta reach down, dig deep, and break ground, Show them all you won’t be beaten
Brush it off and then come back for more
Come back for more

It’s do or die!
Time to settle the score, gotta give it all you got and then you give it some more
There will be blood
You’ve gotta fight til you break, talk alot of trash and step up to the plate
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com

Rise!
Refuse to give in
Rise!
Ashes to Dust
Rise!
Make ’em remember your name
Rise!
Cause in yourself you can trust

Rah!

It’s time to rise up, man up, get back up, never been and wont be broken
Just stop and then come back for more
You’ve gotta reach down, dig deep, and break ground, Show them all you won’t be beaten
Brush it off and then come back for more
Come back for more

Rah!

The problem is, your taste in music sucks.

Everyone’s does. When you start introducing “heavier” songs, they’re going to have a stronger negative reaction. Hockey can be pretty metal. I’d hate a metal goal song. Hockey can push towards Rock & Roll. Please don’t play any of that new bullshit as a goal song. (Though I think a heavier “Paint it Black” would make for a hot one.)

Doop is pretty goofy and neutral. It’s got the start of something that can catch on, but It’s philly. We just don’t do that shit. There’s like 5 people in the world who know the words to our shitty winning song.

They used “Paint it Black” for a pretty damn awesome intro video a couple years ago.

how can everyone's taste in music suck?

maybe your’s does. (a “heavier” paint it black? it would be awful to have a crappy cover of a great song as the goal song)

doop sucks, neutral sucks. it’s almost as bad as that stupid zombie nation song that the devils, bruins and half the league uses.

after a goal should be a celebratory goal song. bro hym was great, but we stole that from the ducks.

the flyers could go back to van halen….

It requires a lot of participation

Haven’t been to a game since the switch, but I feel like I’m not really hearing the crowd Doop along like they do at the Union games.

I don’t know if that’s the fact that people who would sing along to the goal song have been priced out, or if they’re still getting used to it.

Not a door fan for hockey at all…the building is too loud for it. It works much better with the open air stadium.

I would love to go back to Van Halen, or even song 2. Wasn’t a huge fan of Bro Hymn, but it was still much better than Doop

Doop, not door

by Turtlemedic on Nov 1, 2011 4:45 PM EDT up reply actions

I’m just fine with Doop for the Union, but I definitely don’t think it works for the Flyers. I agree with the sentiments of Shaun, Don, and others above that it just doesn’t seem to fit for hockey; and Turtlemedic just beat me to the punch with my main problem, which is that the song really doesn’t work inside of a building like the WFC. Not just that the building is loud to begin with, but the way it’s the notes bounce off the walls of the arena. Some of my other friends who have attended games in the Doop era have found it uncomfortable; but because I get migraines, my personal experience is that the way the notes ricochet and combine is actually disorienting and painful. I haven’t had that exact problem with any of the previous goal songs.

I love it. The more annoying the better. People hate Chelsea Dagger because it is annoying, DOOP can have the same feeling.

I know ppl like the union and all, but I don’t want soccer associated with hockey in any way. When I think of soccer I think of dudes rolling around like they got shot after getting tapped on the ankle. Or taking a blatant dive when they realize their run is being closed down. Soccer is tainted by the pathetic acting that goes on in the sport, and to me this goal song brings association between the two teams. I don’t like it at all, I actually hate it. I’ll take anything over doop

by aPHILLYated on Nov 8, 2011 6:57 PM EST reply actions

Doop is actually a pretty solid song, but to me it’s synonymous with the union now. So playing it associates the two teams, which I hate. It’s also just kinda weak to take someone else’s goal song in general, even if there is a friendly existence between the two teams.
