When it was announced last week that the Red Hot Chili Peppers would be playing the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show, I was excited. However, with Bruno Mars as the headliner, and numerous past halftime shows that have fallen flat, this year’s show has lower expectations than ever.

The shows have historically been known more for their scandals and mishaps than their strong performances. Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” and rapper M.I.A. flipping off the camera are two infamous instances that completely outshadow the few positive, clean performances we’ve seen.

Bringing in modern hip-hop artists has drawn ire from many for being too risque. At the same time, hiring rock legends such as Paul McCartney, however, rarely thrills younger audiences.

So to truly make the halftime show memorable, some changes need to be made. Here are some potential, but unlikely options:

Make the players do the show themselves: Who wouldn’t love to see Peyton Manning belt out Mars’ “Locked out of Heaven”? Or, even better, take Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, who made headlines for going on an epic rant after he made a crucial play in the 4th quarter of the NFC Championship Game, put Sherman on stage, and just let him trash talk for fifteen minutes straight. Bring an audience member onstage, and let him punch Sherman in the face. Tell me that wouldn’t be entertaining.

Make Bruno Mars give the concert from Mars: That’s right. Delay the Super Bowl 8 months, ship Mars up to his namesake planet, and make him live-stream his halftime show. Then leave him there.

Cut the power: Last year, Beyonce’s show supposedly took so much electricity to pull off that the power shut off in the third quarter of the game, costing the Ravens crucial momentum, and almost costing them the game. This year, let the Ravens come to the game, walk onto the field at halftime, and on live television, flip the switch. Then watch the performance crash and burn. How about that for payback?

Have Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers mash-up their songs: Throw Mars’ “The Other Side” and the Peppers’ “Otherside” on top of each other. Make them both belt it out simultaneously. See how it goes.

Make the Red Hot Chili Peppers eat Red Hot Chili Peppers: Put the band members on stage, make them devour actual red hot chili peppers, then tell them to play. Talk about a high-energy performance.

Test Bruno Mars’ commitment, as expressed in his song “Grenade”: Throw a grenade at him. See if he catches it for his girl.
