For the past two years, we have been led astray. A generation of Northwestern football fans grew up on the beautiful strains of “Put Your Hands Up In The Air” by Belgian artist Danzel. For two years, they were robbed of their birthright by interlopers, usurpers, and pretenders. The stadium played songs without the energy and passion of the inimitable Belgian club hit.
But at the end of the third quarter of Northwestern’s win over Purdue, the speakers began to roar. Laidback Luke and Lil’ Jon were consigned to the bench. “Let Me Clear My Throat” was left out of the rotation.
