The song is played anywhere and everywhere around LSU in tailgating and before every home game. LSU and even Les Miles has embraced it. The song was not written for LSU but most fans love it and have also embraced it. I don't see what is wrong with enjoying a song that mentions BR and LA many times. Sweet home Alabama was not written for Bama either. But their fans just enjoy the song.

I'm done with this though. We will just go back and forth all day and I have better things to do as I'm sure you do as well.

Okay, I seriously don't care for either as both are run into the ground ad nauseum, buried, resurrected, and run in the ground some more for good measure. It's like people have an unquenchable desire for top 40 and classic rock all day every day. What song is it you want to hear? FREEBIRD.

This really does sum it up.
Sure, you could replace Baton Rouge, Louisiana with any other city in the lower 48, and it would basically still fit in this song.
The song gets played over the PA once before the game, and has become part of the tradition since they started doing it several years ago.
The majority of fans obviously enjoy it. I'd rather hear that song than something generic like Sandstorm.
Ironically, I have a feeling that the same people complaining about "Callin' Baton Rouge" also want to do away with TGBFTL and add more generic piped in pump up songs.
