In a win for music loving sports fans everywhere, the Vancouver Canucks NHL team has picked Japandroids‘ “The House That Heaven Built” as their new entrance song. The Vancouver natives beat bogan specials and fellow Canadians Nickelback and Gun N Roses in the online fan pole. The raucous jam replaces U2’s long standing entrance song, “Where the Streets Have No Name“.
There it is! @japandroids won Project NU2 – and by a long shot. #Canucks

Anyone who saw the energetic duo blast through their adrenaline pumping shows on the recent Laneway tour will agree that Canucks fans have made a wise and tasteful choice. Game on.
The people of #Vancouver spoke and said, “We’d rather hear @japandroids than @nickelback at #Canucks games”: aol.it/13lA0CQ

With the Japandroids winning, does this mean the Canucks new slogan is “Tell them all to go to hell”?

Not “Burn it to the Ground”, thank god. Vancouver Canucks went with Japandroids, thus saving us from a couple of months of riot jokes.
