Elevation as the official Touchdown song?

The New England Patriots NFL football team is asking fans to select the new touchdown song for the 2006 football season. Apparently, “Rock and Roll part II” was getting a little old so they’ve decided to change it up.

Fans are being asked to select either:
The 1812 Overture (a favorite in Boston around July 4)
Ain’t Talkin’ About Love - Van Halen
Song 2 - Blur
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Yeah - Usher
Elevation - U2

If people don’t like those choices, the Patriots are allowing folks to suggest something different.

Voting is going on now at the New England Patriots’ Web site. Click here to cast your vote!
