The Fight Song (Marilyn Manson song)
[10] Both Wells of NME and Joseph Schafer of Stereogum found the track's instrumentation similar to the guitar riff from Blur's "Song 2" (1997).'The Fight Song' is the shiniest apple from that tree, due in large part to the Blur-esque verse riff, which gives things an open, jangly feel unique in his discography, one that serves as a potent counterpoint to the Mack Truck chorus.Near the end of the video, it begins to rain, and a Death Valley player throws the football at the scoreboard, making it and the goalpost burst into flames.The music video generated minor controversy for its violent depiction of an American football game between jocks and goths, which some sources have interpreted to be directly "echoing" Columbine."[3] At his show in Glasgow in August 2001, Manson dedicated the song to Nicola Ann Raphael, who had committed suicide two months ago at 15 years old because of bullying over her Goth lifestyle.
