    Greetings all. I was driving this morning and I heard this song on the radio:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU
    (Imagine Dragons - Radioactive)

    I love my Houston Rox and it's apparently to the point where I associate music to them :p

    These lyrics stand out to me:
    Chorus several times:
    Code:
    "I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
    Enough to make my systems blow
    Welcome to the [U]new age[/U], to the new age
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive"
    Verse at 1:44:
    "I raise my flags, don my clothes
    It's a revolution, I suppose.
    We're painted red to fit right in"

    Full lyrics:
    Code:
    I'm waking up to ash and dust
    I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
    I'm breathing in the chemicals
    
    I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
    This is it, the apocalypse
    Whoa
    
    (Chorus)I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
    Enough to make my systems blow
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Welcome to the new age, to the new age
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
    
    I raise my flags, don my clothes
    It's a revolution, I suppose
    We're painted red to fit right in
    Whoa
    
    I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
    This is it, the apocalypse
    Whoa
    
    Chorus
    
    All systems go, the sun hasn't died
    Deep in my bones, straight from inside
    
    Chorus
    In addition, I've come to like the music video as well. Shows a pretender turn into a champion.

    I'd like to suggest this song to the team that controls these sort of things, but I wouldn't know where to start. Any ideas?

    Ahhh I had no idea :/ which is weird because I went to about 15 of their games during the spring semester. No idea why I don't recall hearing it before. I just heard it on the radio and my mouth dropped. :p

    Lock it up.

    Horrible song. Generic pop music at its finest. The Rockets are not pop music. That fits more for the Lakers and Heat.

    Radioactive is not generic pop music.
    Call Me Maybe is generic pop music.

    Radioactive is just a song that's been played on the radio too much and people are getting sick of it. Its a fantastic song regardless.

    Radioactive was a relatively obscure song, and once the NBA marketed the song, it gained in popularity. And seriously...why are people posting things like this on the GARM??

    Not a morey move at all to pick up a band that is at its peak popularity. He buys low. My guess is he has Hanson in the studio right now writing a song about bearded superman.
