Katy Perry might be headlining the—deep breath—Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show, but that’s not the only singing that will happen that day. After all, if singing isn’t the most important part of Super Bowl Sunday, then what is? Well, football, obviously… and commercials. Singing is up there somewhere, at least. Anyway, Idina Menzel and John Legend will be taking on some America-centric musical numbers before the game starts. Menzel will sing the national anthem, and Legend—who is fresh off of a Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination for his song “Glory” from Selma—will sing “America The Beautiful.”
Now, Idina Menzel being Idina Menzel, she’ll probably do a good job and the crowd will want her to do an encore, but we think she should resist the urge to pull out the crowd-pleasing “Let It Go” from Frozen. After all, that song has barely anything to do with football. Instead, we’ve decided to write some new lyrics for “Let It Go” that she can sing instead, and we think this could be a pretty big hit. Make sure to hit play on the YouTube video before singing along at home.
“Super Bowl,” to the music of “Let It Go” from Frozen.
The grass grows green on the field tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A stadium of isolation
And it looks like I’m the MVP
The crowd is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don’t let them in, don’t let them TD
Be the good player you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know!
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
Can’t hold it back anymore
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
Turn away and throw the ball!
I don’t care
What they’re going to play
Let the game rage on
The score never bothered me anyway.
It’s funny how some yardage
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get past my offensive line at all!
It’s time to see what I can do
Throw to the receiver and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me, the ball is free!
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
I am one with the field and crowd
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
You’ll never see me pout!
Here I stand
And here I’ll say
Let the game rage on!
My power flurries through the air into their hands
The ball is spiraling in football fractals all around
And one thought crystalizes like a football blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past!
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
And I’ll rise from the third down
Super Bowl, Super Bowl
That perfect quarterback is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of the stadium
Let the game rage on,
The score never bothered me anyway!
