...Please order the "Banjo Song" to not be played until this team is back in the playoffs ! (Please note I still like the song, because of tradition, but its highly inappropriate to play right now)
Far be it for me, someone on the other side of the country to tell the locals what to do at their home stadium, but really that song. Its terrible. Nothing says winning football like a hillbilly banjo song. Just play something like Metallica or AC/DC when we score, anything but that banjo boogie.
I must be in the minority here but I really love that song, it makes me nostalgic for my childhood. Interesting side note, did you guys know the Houston Oilers had virtually the same song only the lyrics are slightly different? theirs: Houston has the Oilers, the greatest football team. We take the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen. We're in the air, we're on the ground - always in control, And when you say the Oilers, you're talking Super Bowl. 'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. Yes, we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. We've got the offense, we've got the defense, We give the other team no hope. 'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, You know we're gonna hold the rope. Yes, we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. Yes, we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One. 'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One - Five - Seven - Eight, We're the best from the Lone Star State! Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One ours: Miami has the Dolphins, The greatest football team! We take the ball from goal to goal, Like no one's ever seen! We're in the air, We're on the ground, We're always in control. And when you say Miami, You're talking Super Bowl! (Chorus 1) Cause we're the Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins Number 1. (Chorus 2) Yes we're the Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins Number 1.
cool, I'm glad I could show you something new...I remember feeling kind of cheated when I found out about that. like did some generic band just make a killing selling the same song to whole league or something haha. if you go here you can listen to them both: http://philadelphia-eagles.net/fightsongs/afc-oilers.html http://philadelphia-eagles.net/fightsongs/afc-dolphins.html
I think the song is hilarious. I went to the Ravens game this year(when we won) and I heard it and just started laughing. I agree no playing this song till we get into the playoffs.
Nah we sadly stole the song......we had the song writer on Le Batards show, and said he sold it to the oilers first....we are the fight song thieves
I'm not a big fan of rap/hip-hop, but wasn't Trick Daddy supposedly going to come up w/one if we had signed Edgerrin James back in 2005? I know he's local to Miami and at least doesn't appear as crazy as Bootsy Collins running around up here in Cincinnati. The only caveat would be if he falls under the no thugs and hoodlums policy hahaha.
I hate that song. That was a fitting song in the early 70's when they actually dominated. I hate fight songs that claim the team is the best or number 1.
