The Broncos had moved on changing their end zone anthem to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s “Go Daddy O” while the Chiefs went with P.O.D.’s “BOOM”. The NFL banned it (though they had already initially done this in 2006) including covers which the Patriots tried to play as a touchdown song during the 2012 Super Bowl in an effort to avoid scandal. Then in February 2016, Glitter was sentenced to 16 years for abusing three underaged girls, one of whom was under the age of 13 between 19. In 2006 he was convicted for abusing two underaged girls in Vietnam and was sent back to prison for three years. He went to jail for just four months, apologized without taking questions from the media and then moved to Cambodia until he was deported in 2002. Then in 1999 after taking his laptop to computer world for repairs, a technician notified the police after discovering over 1000 articles of child pornography on his drive that included acts of sexual acts and torture. He went through a tough divorce, became bankrupt and even the massive amount of royalties did little to take him out of financial ruin from an extravagant lifestyle that included several DUIs. While “Part 2” was being immortalized in stadiums as “The Hey Song” across America, Glitter struggled. The Devils were playing it at that point too and the song spread across American major league sports like wildfire. They ended up being sold to New Jersey where they would become the Devils, but “Part 2” already caught the attention of the rest of Denver’s franchises and pretty soon was getting played at Broncos and Nuggets games. The reaction was uproarious and two years later he climbed the ranks to become the marketing director for the Colorado Rockies and took “Rock ’n' Roll (Part 2)” with him. Then in 1974, the PR director for a minor league hockey team in Kalamazoo Michigan came across a 45 of the recording and started playing it on the loud speakers. Through pure miracle it charted no 7 on the billboard and Glitter became a one hit wonder in the states before achieving a few pop hits in the UK. Glitter’s producer Leander turned his guitar down five steps and aside a dirty saxophone came up with the riff, while Glitter shouted “Hey!” and clapped his hands.

Japanese Breakfast – Nobody Sees Me Like You Do (Yoko Ono Cover Version).Beacon – Our House (Madness Cover Version).Destroyer – Eat the Wine, Drink the Bread.Death Cab For Cutie – Waiting For The Sunrise (Yoko Ono Cover Version).In the UK, “Rock and Roll” was one of over 20 hit singles for Glitter. In France Part 1 was the successful side, reaching #1. At sporting events, fans often insert their own “hey”, or sometimes other chanted syllables. The nickname “The Hey Song” refers to fact that the only intelligible word in Part 2 is the exclamation of “hey”, punctuating the end of several instrumental phrases and repeated three times at the song’s chorus. The song is also played at Baltimore Orioles games. It was played first in a sport setting at Colorado Rockies hockey games in the late 1970s, and the Denver Broncos are the first NFL team to play the song during games. In the years since, Part 2 of the song has often been played at various sporting events in Canada and the United States, particularly when the home team scores (or wins). The US mono 45, which is mixed different from the LP, clocks in at 3:10 while the on the US LP, it runs 2:58. In the US, the instrumental portion (Part 2) attracted most of the attention it hit #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. In concert, Glitter merged both into one performance. Both parts were popular in Britain, and the single went to #2 on the British charts. Co-written by Glitter and Mike Leander, the song is in two parts: Part 1 is a vocal track reflecting on the history of the genre, and Part 2 is a mostly instrumental piece. “Rock and Roll”, also known as “The Hey Song”, is a song performed by British glam rocker Gary Glitter that was released in 1972 as a single and on the album Glitter.
