Pre-season Super Bowl Song Becomes Dream Come True for New Orleans Own DEMBOYS

Super Bowl Youtube Video

New Orleans, LA – Before the start of the 2009 NFL season, a talented coalition of New Orleans musicians collaborated and recorded "Roll with the Black and Gold," a tailgate-friendly tune with lyrics that actually predicted the Saints’ now historic run to Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.

As both the Saints winning streak and the bandwagon grew to epic proportions, the city of New Orleans was inundated with new Saints-friendly music. However, DEMBOYS truly set the tone with their inspiring pre-season prediction.

OffBeat magazine summed it up nicely in its October issue: “It’s not hard to picture “Roll with the Black and Gold” playing for a stadium packed with Saints fans. It’s catchy, easy to dance to and an authentic offering by New Orleans natives celebrating the place they love.”

Since its release on September 3rd, “Roll with the Black and Gold” has been blasted on gameday inside the Superdome on multiple occasions, covered in the Times Picayune’s Saints music review, and is now regularly featured on WWL–AM870 as the intro to the most popular Saints talk radio show in the country. Dem Boys also recently opened to a sold-out French Quarter show with the world famous, multi-platinum group, the Ying Yang Twins.

Giving Back to Their Creative New Orleans Community

DEMBOYS is also committed to helping the New Orleans music scene. A majority of the NOLA area musicians are medically uninsured and often lack the proper medical attention they need. DEMBOYS has pledged to donate 20% of the project’s gross sales to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, an innovative not-for-profit wellness partnership offering affordable health care to the NOLA community's most precious resource: its musicians.

The 3 song EP titled “Roll with the Black and Gold” is available through Drake Records on iTunes and Amazon and can be streamed for free at RollWithTheBlackandGold.com The title track is also available for free download at OffBeat.com .

Lyrics to "Roll with the Black and Gold"

Dem Boys are hot and they will not be stopped.
They're going all the way...straight to the top.
Oh can't you see them...in that black and gold.
They're off to the playoffs...and then to the Super Bowl!
Everybody let’s roll!

Roll let’s roll let’s roll let’s roll with the black and gold!

They got what it takes...to put it in that zone.
Those fans be jammin' and they're bout that Superdome.
Oh can't you see them...in that black and gold.
They're off to the playoffs...and then to the Super Bowl!
Everybody let’s roll!

Dem Boys got what it takes...Ain't no brown-bag year.
Hear them Who Dat! calls when you come around here.
Talkin’ bout playoffs...yea we gonna be there.
Super Bowl bound....baby this is our year!
