The irony of it all is that the composer of your fight song, Alfred Newman was the uncle to none other than Randy Newman, who is loved and revered by South Loozianans for his many songs about his hometown, New Orleans, and South Looziana (and the South in general). Hell, he even sang about LSU in "Rednecks", and "Louisiana 1927" has been adopted by many as a theme for the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. His hit "I Love L.A." was originally going to be titled "I Love La.", but he knew he would reach a far wider, more narcissistic audience by singing about Lost Angles instead. Did I mention he went to OO-SEE-ELL-AAYY??????????? :hihi: THE home of the 8 clap????
I love Randy Newman. He attended utla, but dropped out. And as for the 8 clap, they still can't get over USC. http://www.uclahistoryproject.ucla.edu/Songs/SonsofWestwood.html
If you there with me in '89 then you might recall this. At Auburn in '89, it was a day game. We left there and went straight to a high school stadium to play an exhibition for a high school marching band contest. The show finale was "Malaguena". It was standing room only in a set of small high school stands. We blew away the crowd. The screaming and applause from those kids was something I'll never forget.
Pre-game and Chinese Bandits are my 2 favorite. What I like about our band is that all of their songs are original, unlike several other SEC schools the play the Star Wars death march etc.
well not all our songs, Hey Fightin Tigers is actually taken from a hit broadway song Hey Look Me Over. On a side note, if you have seen the movie Hoffa, when he is annonced as the president of the Teamsters, the band is playing Hey Look Me over.
you weren't in the drumline in 2003, were you? as far as my all time favorite, it would have to boogie down. nothing is cooler than getting to count that song off in the tenorline, lol!
I would have to go with the best new song they picked up- Apache, made famous by The Sugarhill Gang. Nothing is better than standing up and "jumpin on it" with your friends. We're already obnoxious, flailing about to that classic only makes us more so. I was on the PMAC big screen doing the dance at one of the games this year. Speaking of original, how about Barners playing that AIE AIE AIE on every defensive down?
