Black Eyed Peas to play Super Bowl halftime show?

I miss Fergie when she was a female.

 

My wife watched the halftime show, and skips the game. I guess opposites attract.

 

I'd rather watch Al Yankovic dance around the stage.

 

Well who doesn't want to hear "Boom Boom Pow" as they're taking their halftime dump?

 

BEPs are all 35. Let's not get carried away in calling them a young and fresh option. I like the suggestion of Led Zeppelin. Hell, they probably wouldn't do it, but it would be definitely worth placing a call to Plant, Page and Jones. The remaining members of Pink Floyd too.

Aerosmith already did a Super Bowl. KISS, AC/DC and Metallica would be ones you could go to, but the whole "heavy metal satanist" stigma still exists around them. As far as newer 90s bands, Green Day and No Doubt could fill the void. Guns and Roses could do it if it was a reunion situation (don't see that happening though).

Or you can go really, really, really old. Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard each do a song. Give these guys a final bow.

 

Paula Abdul. Now there's an idea.

 

That would just be flat-out weird. Pink Floyd's catalog doesn't really lend itself to halftime entertainment.

Trying to figure out how they -- and by "they" I mean the halftime show producers -- would jazz up songs like Wish You Were Here, Time or Comfortably Numb. Would they have cheeseball dancers on the field?

Actually, that sounds train-wreck kind of entertaining. Bring 'em on!

 

Open with "Not Now John."

100,000 drunken Texans, 20,000 specially recruited dancers on the stadium floor, and a worldwide audience of millions roaring along with, "Fuck all that! Gotta compete with the wily Japanese!!"

 

They could play Pigs and when they get to the verse about Mary Whitehouse, a prude who was trying to censor what she deemed as indecent shows on British TV, David Gilmour could rip open his shirt and show off his tits, a la, the Janet Jackson incident.

 

I'm sorry, I thought that this deserved a second look.

Carry on.

 

No Doubt?

 

They should get Taylor Swift and Kanye West.
