If the Superbowl were in Memphis or somewhere in Texas, then a country song (possibly Dead Flowers but more likely Faraway Eyes (even though it is Bakersfield-style)) would make sense. The reference in Dead Flowers to being in the basement with a needle and a spoon would not go over big with the NFL. In Detroit, a country song is just not going to fit so well.

A cover of a Motown song is definitely in the realm of possibility for Detroit. "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "Everybody Needs Someone to Love" are two strong candidates. I would say if one of them goes in, they replace Satisfaction. Hard to imagine Start Me Up and Jumping Jack Flash not being there. "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" suffers from having been performed by the Stones in Detroit the last time they were there (Aug 31, 2005). "Love Train" is another possibility.

Of course, Dead Flowers would be a favorite of the board due to the Kentucky Derby reference, but I do not think we carry too much weight.
