Cee Lo Green joins NFL's 'Thursday Night Football'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Cee Lo Green's about to shake up the NFL.

Green is taking over the NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football" intro, and in typical fashion for the flamboyant rapper-singer he's putting his own spin on things. Rather than the traditional artist-centered pre-taped opener, the NFL and Green are inviting fans to submit videos of themselves singing along to the chorus of a song based on The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop."

"I think this brings a splash of color to a, you know, bland and black-and-white backdrop," Green said. "And make it colorful and make it fun and make it young. Make it exciting and highly enthusiastic, you know what I'm saying?"
