NFL TV Music: Cover Two
from: philly.com

There must be something about an NFL night game that cries out for taking a popular jukebox song and producing a cover version with awkward-fitting football lyrics.
v Among the Monday Night Football traditions ESPN inherited from ABC is the rollicking opener by Hank Williams Jr., a remake of his own hit "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" called "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night."

In its delicate attempt to assure viewers that it's the same old Monday Night Football but a whole new era, ESPN will keep Hank Jr. in the rundown, now performing with an "all-star jam band" including Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins, Roots drummer ?uestlove, fiddler Charlie Daniels, pianist Little Richard, and guitarists Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick) and Chris Burney (Bowling for Soup).
This year's lyrics try to remind everybody that Monday night is still Monday night:

v Crank up the volume, cue my rowdy friends,

We're rocking and rolling on ESPN.

You've seen all the faces, you know all the names.

It's the world's most famous prime-time game.
To open its Sunday Night Football telecasts starting next week, NBC will run a new song and video featuring pop singer Pink, a Doylestown native. On "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," Pink sings new words, karaoke-style, over the music of the JOAN JETT hit "I Hate Myself for Loving You."

That classic has always rocked, but the updated verses are a little obvious:

"Sunday Night Football" on NBC

The only game that you have to see

Don't need a ticket, all you need's a TV

Cause the NFL rocks on NBC.

As is so often the case, Jett's version of a pop standard reigns supreme.
