whooo, rocky top tennessee.


So I stand corrected. It's "whoo", but it still sounds redneck. It sounds fine on TV, but it's annoying in person. I'm not saying we're not annoying to other fans, but I don't give a crap about that!

Really? I was wondering- how many times did they play it in the 2nd half against Oregon?

BTW - I actually do like Rocky Top ... even with the "woooo" part. I just wish they were a lot more selective about when they played it.

Is there a short version? It seems like the band could play the instrumental part of "good ole Rocky Top" and the fans could go "woooo ... Rocky Top Tennessee." That would be soooo much better. Save the full version for pregame, TDs, FGs, etc.

Try singing along like this:

"Rocky Top you'll always be at the bottom of the SEC, good ole' Rocky Top, boooo, Rocky Top Tennessee..."

I heard that in Ft. Walton Beach one weekend. Makes it much more fun too sing.

I just laugh at how stupid this sounds every time I hear it. Cowbells are annoying.

On the radio here in Atlanta before a UGA-UT game, they played the following version:

"Rocky Top you oughta see our unbranched family tree, good ole' Rocky Top, woooo, don't know my abc's..."

I still sing that when I hear it.

Definitely the gayest in the SEC, and the guys with the pig noses on their faces saying it makes it gayer.

I'll never forget going to Little Rock a few years back, me and my buddies had the LSU crazy hair on. This Arkansas saw guy walks up to us, and said something like, ya'll look fricking stupid. I turned to see him, and he was a fat guy with no shirt and a pig nose on his face. I just laughed.

this is the part that gets me. I look around Neyland and see ~80,000 mountain folk singing it for the 86th time, and when it comes to "whooo" they all close their eyes, look up to the sky in unison, and howl "whooooo" in a high-pitched alto.

Pretty sure that song was the intro music to "Deliverance". Two weeks in a row of "mountain folk"

I like this version, but can't stand when the UT band plays it for the 100th time a game.

Rocky Top is personally one of my fave college football songs. I don't get tired of it.
