Great topic, but bizarrely you've picked one of the few lines I absolutely hate. It reeks of the kind of line that Kiss would raise their make-up caked eyes to and then shake their freshly blow-dried coiffures and dismiss as just too cheesy. I've hated it since the first time I heard Bat 2 (along with the "throw away those designer suits" line, which just sounds like something out of a late 80s Michael J Fox "comedy") and yet I do like "Louder" as a song. The lyrics just feel a bit rushed though.

Anyways, end of rant. My underrated lyric:

I can make the runner stumble / I can make the final block / And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle / I can make all the stadiums rock.

I know lots of you like the rewrite, but for me it didn't need changing. Love the "stadiums rock" line - it's perfect.
