The Tiger Rag story is as follows:
The first recording was in 1917 by the "Origianl Dixieland Jass Band". However, the tune had been played for years in New Orleans and was popular there before the recording.
According to music historians, local (N.O.) musicians copied a popular, but ancient Native American tune played on crude flutes and drums, dedicated to the worship of the striped catamount. Apparently, tribes along the Mississippi had weekly rituals where the music was played. These rituals are native to Louisiana and were noted by early explorers.

Great LSU music history lesson here. Thanks!
That the great thing about LSU Football is the variety of great music and cheers that originate with the GBFTL. The tradition for the GBFTL rivals that of the football team.
My wife and I were laughing the other night watching the FSU game. If we were FSU fans we would probably jump off the top of the stadium by the end of the game because of that damn war chant. That is all those idiots have and do. OVER and OVER and OVER. The same goes for UT and and rocky top. USC tojans arent much better with that cartoonish fight song they have. Thank goodness for the GBFTL!!!
