As a serious question, is it really worth being in an encyclopaedia what words some people sing at some University? Sounds trivial to me. -Runningonbrains 06:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- No. The paragraph "Some examples of the use of this song..." needs to go, full stop. Virtually every damn sports team in the United States, pro or amateur, plays this song in some form or fashion. None of them except the first one or two is notable. This is an example of Wikipedia at its worst: Everyone wants to add the claim to fame from their little corner of the world. Unless anyone strenously and convincingly objects, I'm deleting that paragraph next time I see it. Regards, PhilipR 18:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Done.Moved to a footnote. See [1] if you want to try to rescue some of this prose, but really -- listing every college to cheer with three heys or "We're gonna beat the hell out of you" or whatever is not notable. - PhilipR 03:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)- Now it's done. If anyone wants to see this dreck, they can resort to the saved old versions.Paul 20:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
sAME AS Rock and Roll Part II?
- Yes, absolutely. This article is about "Rock and Roll, Parts 1 and 2", but only Part 2 is ubiquitous in the United States, where most people have never even heard Part 1. I don't know if the title is supposed to use Roman numerals or Arabic ones, and I don't care.Paul 20:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Similar point to -Runningonbrains
These repeated additions to the list of teams that have stopped using the song as a celebration are almost as silly as the endless list of teams that once used the song as a celebration. -ModNewt 3 April 2007
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GaryGlitter Rock and Roll.jpg
Image:GaryGlitter Rock and Roll.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Notable Exceptions
why are those teams notable exceptions of who still uses the song, I hear that song at almost every sports event I go to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.177.57.198 (talk) 21:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC) I agree. I still hear the song often at sporting events, and it seems that its play has not diminished at all. Perhaps the professional and college teams that have stopped using it would be more notable.

i also here the song everywhere, i think that part should be removed, cause i know for sure they play it at Gillette Stadium.(Themissinglink42 (talk) 05:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC))
