BAN "Calling Baton Rouge"

Yes. It says, "Louisiana" in the first line, and you guys can all scream your idiot fool heads off.
But it is a song about a trucker/drifter who had a one night stand with a young girl. who is stopping at payphones, calling the woman, because he's still thinking bout the sex and her.
"DERRR. It's saying our city name. It's about us"
what the frick this has to do with LSU football is beyond me. this didn't start til the early 2000s. this is not an old tradition. this is a new stupid tradition. we might as well play "Heart of Rock N Roll" by Huey Lewis. Or "Bobby McGee" or "Big River". because they have as much to do with LSU FOOTBALL AS THIS SONG.
end rant.
ETA. I'm going to put my money where my mouth is. I'm going to BOYCOTT all games in TIger Stadiums this season in protest.

Upvoted because I never knew what the song was about. Probably because I don't think I've ever heard it.

Anything music wise besides the band from tigerland is a no.

Yeah and keep playing, "bitch I'm from Louisiana" because that has everything to do with football. "Louisiana Saturday night" also.
Get the absolute frick out of here, OP. If you're wanting to ban a song because it has nothing to do with football, then what the frick do suggest they play?
I'm waiting....

"Callin' Baton Rouge"
I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge
A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime
Callin' Baton Rouge
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Callin' Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge

how about our state song - "You are My Sunshine" made famous by an LSU grad and former governor? or any of the bajillion LSU fight songs? or "Chinese Bandits" or any of a billion other songs that happened to mention the city? or an actual Cajun song indicative of our Louisiana heritage? or a song not about a fling between a trucker and a Baton Rouge girl?
and of course they shouldn't play a fricking song called "Bitch I'm from Louisiana."
you have the best band in the country. use them instead of shitty piped in music.
you'd never hear this bullshite at a school like notre dame, ohio state, michigan… if LSU Is truly about tradition, as much as we say we are, then one would clearly see this is hypocrisy and contradiction.

It's not the official song of LSU...they just play it at the games.
Chill out. It's a fun song.

The band songs are short as frick.
You are my sunshine? Really? There's one to get the crowd going.
Cajun music had got to be the worst type of music. It's up there with swamp pop.

i'm chill. this song sucks. and it's not an official song. and people act like it is. because of it's being played for the past ten years, people now equate it with LSU football like a pack of salivating pavlov dogs. so fricking stupid.
bunch of simps.

get the frick out of the state. cajun music is amazing. and this song it wasn't even a hit for garth. it literally only mentions the name of the song. it might as well be Calling San Antone

Wait, did you really just suggest to play you are my sunshine? You just lost a lot of credibility

Please stop this ladies.

did i? our state anthem couldn't join our national anthem and our alma mater as part of our pregame ritual? you think about it.
you're arguing for a song that literally has NOTHING to do with the event you're seeing. and you're saying that it pumps you up. it also has nothing to do with anything physical or dominating or impressive or victorious. Like "We Will Rock You" old school. Or modern day hype music.
it's a sad song about missing a girl that you slept with. But it says Louisiana…
we even picked the wrong country star. isn't Tim McGraw at least an LSU fan?

Yawn. Callin Baton Rouge is an amusing song and a crowd favorite along with hits from Journey, Guns and Roses, BTE, etc. If they wanted the crowd to fall asleep, they'd play You are my Sunshine.
I'm not sorry that songs played in Tiger Stadium makes the OP cry. He'll be the only one pouting and miserable in the stadium this year. The rest of us will be having a great time.

how about ANYTHING from this record?

Maybe they can play Patsy Cline's greatest hits after that.
