"Halftime" v's "Woot There It Is" and "Who Let Dogs Out"

The Saints/Superdome run every popular "celebration" song into the ground and then beat it to a bloody pulp. Here's my recollection of each.

"Whoot, There It Is!" (1993-1997)
I believe this was christened during the 1993 season. Many NFL teams used the more popular "Whoomp, There It Is!" by Tag Team, but the Saints used this earlier (by one month) version. And the Saints unfortunately used it for about 2 years longer than most NFL teams. I'd say we heard this fricking song until around 1998 when "Who Let the Dogs Out" became popular. A random fact is that when this song was played at the Superdome, I remember they would always display "WOOT THERE IT IS" on the Superdome videoboards, misspelling "Whoot" by leaving the "H" out.

"Who Let the Dogs Out?" (1998-2004)
This godforsaken song first hit the Superdome during the 1998 season when Mike Ditka was at the helm. This song was especially embraced by moronic Saints fans (as these all are) because our defense under Zaven Yaralian had been nicknamed the "Swamp Dogs". This song was played constantly until around 2001 when Mark Fields (anchor of the "Swamp Dogs" left for greener pastures. It is still (unfortunately) played every once and a while even to this day. After a big defensive play or turnover the Superdome videoboards would scream "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT" or "SWAMP DOGS" while the 43,000 true Saints fans who showed up (myself included) would go apeshit.


"Stand Up and Get Crunk (Halftime)" (2008-present)
This song obviously became popular during either the 2008 season or the 2009 preseason (depending on your recollection), when the Saints players would dance to it before kickoffs and fans on message boards would start "What is the name of the song that Jason David / Roman Harper are rocking out to before kickoffs" threads. It became synonymous with the 2009 season as the Saints piled up win after win and the crowd started singing and dancing along with the kickoff team. The Superdome video boards helped along with huge "STAND UP AND GET CRUNK!" messages displayed on the 4 corner videoboards.

I would imagine we're going to have to endure this fricking song for the next 5 to 6 years, or until a more popular shitty song comes along to take its place.
