Callin Baton Rouge is a trash song. Also covered by a trash local cover band parish county line.

It's a 2 minute and 38 second song played once or twice 7 days a year IF you attend every game. Get over it snowflake.

How dare you, sir! That cheesy 90s country song tangentially related to the city where LSU is located is a time-honored LSU sports tradition!

But in all seriousness, it gets the rubes whipped up in a frenzy before and during games so it has its utility. I'm OK with it

I'm not a country fan or a Garth fan, but when the whole stadium is singing and shouting out the BATON ROUGE, I get freakin goosebumps. As a non-country fan, I hope that song stays part of the gameday experience pretty much forever. If there's a great rock song, ADD it. Don't replace the Garth one. That song is part of gameday.

I don't care for that song either. We do need a remix.

I don’t care for it either. But it works for the vast majority, it seems. Thus, let it be.

But contemporary music really, really fricking sucks hard. It's but annoying and boring. I didn't think that was possible.

This is about Baton Rouge referring to the war when Canada bombed Pear River
