so you are ok with authentic hickness?

I'm okay with authenticity in any form.

I'm okay with songs that represent us as Louisianians. Not as Texas country fricks.

no answer to the lyrics that get you all jacked up for football?
drinking wine?

sounds like a night of LSU football to me.

do you like "Louisiana Saturday Night"?

He's from a town in Louisiana called Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Thanks. I clearly had no idea like I stated. Just seem to hear that song at every S. La wedding and it usually kills.

Don't care about lyrics. "Born on the Bayou" has a good E7 guitar lick that reminds me that my penis is gargantuan and mastodonic. "Callin' Baton Rouge" wants me to believe that my name is Jack and that my best friend's name is Ennis.

not really.

How about You Are My Sunshine?
How about Jambalaya (on the Bayou) taken from a real Cajun song by Hank Williams Sr.

quote:

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file* gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Nay.

I like it when the whole stadium yells "Louisiana" and "Baton Rouge". It's something I look forward too.

+1

Born on the Bayou isn't up tempo enought and Louisiana Saturday Night is just too backwoods. Not a huge fan of Calling Baton Rouge, but it works and it's a million times better than Rocky Top or Country Roads.

College of Ag, AGR, my back yard is a cow pasture... I think I might have been that 1



FWIW the football music situation is 100x's less annoying than the basketball music situation

I like how you keep throwing the word hick around like your not in the south.... I don't listen to country music, but i'm also not an uptight little bitch that let's a song get in the way of a good time...

I like that you don't know how to spell "you're", and you keep throwing out the word "bitch" like you might intimidate me into agreeing with you.

I'm a fan of authenticity and real traditions. Garth Brooks and a song off of "I'm Countrified", songs randomly chosen and played by a PA operator with shitty taste in music don't count. Songs that don't have anything to do with football, tradition, inspiration, do not have any place in the hallowed ground that is Tiger Stadium. You care more about having a good time and what you perceive as popular then treating a sacred place with respect. You don't recognize that it actually waters down the prestige of a program that can not hold up its own mythology, and how it reflects us to the rest of the nation.

I hate Tennesee. But I respect the frick that the adore Rocky Top. It's their song. Ditto with the tradition at Notre Dame.
Having a strong tradition is about creating lore that's lasting. Not about creating one just because you got a new PA.

Call me a purist that I want to hear LSU songs when I go into LSU stadium. That I want to hear songs that remind me of the golden age of LSU football and it's glorious history, and not Top 40 bullshite, and especially not country's top 40 from 1996.

And, if you simply must play music for Louisiana pride's sake, maybe you'll realize that LSU, cajun music, zydeco music, and our rich delta history is what makes this state different than georgia, alabama, mississippi and texas.

And i don't like much about any of those other fricking states.
so how about you nut the frick up and stand up for your own state and realize that YOU'RE contributing to the dumbing down and bastardization of one of the few things that keeps you from living in Missifrickingsippi.

when you can't win an arguement, point out gramatical errors... The troll way


And playing a song before a game isn't the entire representation of a state. If you truely believe in half the shite spewing out your mouth then you my friend have tremendous vocabualary comprehension problems. I don't categorize myself with every dumb frick in the state because I represent myself. The fact that you think a pregame song reflects the way YOU look makes me feel bad for you, as you don't have much going on with your pathetic little life.

Nomatter where you are from, if someone doesn't like you they can find something that they think is wrong with your state, and all the faults I've heard about Louisiana, this is the first time a pre game song has been a statewide image downfall... I'll leave this one alone because obviously this is going nowhere but feel free to keep talking shite for the amusement of others and a little self empowerment for yourself... Because it seems you need all you can get
