fight song

tried you tube, only thing you can find is the band singing the Alma Mater....and some crumb-crunching toddlers singing the "lsu fight song" which ends up being hey fightin' tigers.....i have never heard anyone sing the entire "fight for lsu" song the way the band plays it in the stands...never! i am determined to learn it all, and the only way i will be able to do so is SEE and HEAR someone doing it correctly!

wiki just has the lyrics and a link to hear the song; not someone actually singing it. i feel that i have touched upon the "third rail" of tiger fandom, because i have never admitted (until now) that i can't sing it. i have a feeling there are quite a few other tigers that can't either. i have searched the archives of tiger droppings-- this subject has been talked about in the past. i think it is just a really hard song to sing. if my memory is correct, i think huey long coined the lyrics....he might have been drunk. i just wish there was a link...

may i also suggest practicing it sober to memorize it...

That's Hey Fightin' Tigers, not the official LSU fight song which is "Fight for LSU." I've been looking around for a recording of the song actually being sung and chicago is right, so far it's eluded me.

i get chills just reading those lyrics

ohshi-

just saw that

thought we were talkin' about HEY FIGHTIN TIGERS

i know things, i swear

ole war skule, etc.

I like just before it repeats for the third time

I thought we were talking about "Fight For LSU"

If we are, here's the best I can do as far as rhythm goes via text:

Like Knights of old
Let's fight to hold
The glory
of
the pur-ple gold
Let's carry through
Let's die or do
To win
the game
for dear old L-S-U
Keep trying-
for-
that high score
Come on
and fight
We want
some more
some more
Come on you
Tigers
Fight! Fight! Fight!
For dear old L-S-U!

i am the original poster.....i have the lyrics to FIGHT FOR LSU....and have always known them...the problem is, i can't sing the fight song after the first verse as the band plays it. it is a pretty long song, it is just very hard to read the lyrics (or know them) and sing the song in time with the band. i am trying to find a link or otherwise of someone CLEARLY singing the entire FIGHT FOR LSU song. i don't know a single person that can do it. so, if i can see/hear someone doing it properly, then i could do it.
