Since about half of the responses were hating on Callin Baton Rouge, I was wondering if anyone knew when they started playing that in the stadium. It came out in '94 and he played at Maravich in '98 (my first concert, ). Is the version they play in the stadium from that show?

I'd like it if anyone who tried to sing along actually knew more than the chorus

I don't remember it being played before games until the mid 2000's.

Song is awesome.

Video is awesome.

People who hate it prob act like that little skank Vince Vaughn was fricking on wedding crashes when Chris walken wouldn't let them go to the vacation house.

A lot of people know all the words and sing them all. At least I do.

It's just a terrible song. It did not get better because Garth decided to do it. It should have died a quiet uneventful death as soon as Linde wrote it.

Close your eyes, stick your thumb in your mouth, make a JJ pouty butthurt face and jump up and down like you are skipping rope Saturday so we can all point and laugh at you.

Well I end almost every run with either Callin Baton Rouge or the LSU Drum Cadence ... If it's Callin BR I am in my mind literally in TS seeing the players huddle toward the end of the song, seeing them do their "thing"/sway routing and then running into the tunnel with the crowd cheering super loudly!



And for the record I know the words!!!!
