Used in the opening scene of Leatherheads…

Tiger Rag

ETA: the move version has the lyrics. Cant find a YouTube video if it though.

Not unique to LSU. Parents HS song in KS as well. Think every Tiger team uses it somehow.

It’s the lyrics to a portion of Tiger Rag, which when slowed down makes the 4 note salute of pregame, and when sped up is our first down “geaux tigers” cheer.


GTFOH! Is this true? Holy shite, lol. Learn something new every day.

LSU playing Tiger Rag. Start at :23 for the “hold that tiger” part. If you listen to :23-34 then listen to Pregame, pregame is the same thing just slowed down (and in a different key).

First down is the 4 notes at “tiger rag tempo”, drum break, and then the 4 notes again in a key a half step higher, and repeat until the end.
