I’m sorry but when they start playing “Calling Baton Rouge” at football games…

I cringe. All these old ladies stand up and start clapping along, caterwauling. Reminds me of Tennessee Fans whooing while singling Rocky Top. At least Rocky Top is about missing Tennessee. Sweet home Alabama is about missing Alabama.
Calling Baton Rouge seems to be about a truck driver missing an underage hooker. It’s definitely not about missing the state of Louisiana.

Karma has one of the most downvoted threads in history about this.

Note: I agree with your thread. Terrible song.

You sound like you're about as fun as beating off with sandpaper.

It’s a real shame imo that it gets the crowd more fired up than the band playing. it wasn’t like that until the last 5 years or so.

It sucks when people enjoy themselves and have a good time.

It's not a good song.

It's still fun to be a little drunk and scream "Louisiana" with tens of thousands of other people.

Stop thinking so much and just have a good time.

It’s terrible, but it’s still better than “Bitch, I’m from Louisiana”

Only the ones fortunate enough to take a risk, or be competent enough, to leave Louisiana for good understand what a true destitute wasteland that place is. I’ve still good friends there for lack of a better option I suppose.

This one had a bit more literary flair than his - at least as far as I can recall.

That song is awful and should have been taken off the Playlist years ago

Along with bitch I'm from Louisiana
