Petition! Bring the Cards' fight song back!

[denverbirdfan]

someone just confessed to singing in on the radio just to prove that card fans have tradition!

i love the damn song. when i used to live in tempe, i sang the thing too. i used to sing it at busch stadium back in the day too! can you imagine 63,000 singing it -- half of them drunk? it would be like the world cup inside cardinals stadium. opposing teams would duck and run...

the words and tune

THE CARDINALS ARE CHARGING
LET'S CHEER THEM ON THEIR WAY
LET'S SHOUT OUT WITH ALL OUR MIGHT
WE'LL SHOW 'EM HOW A TEAM CAN FIGHT
FOR VICTORY AND GLORY
WILL MAKE OUR JOY SUPREME
THE PRIDE OF ARIZONA
OUR ARIZONA CARDINAL TEAM

Seriously, It is the worst fight song I have ever herd. It is slow and really cheesy. It reminds me of years sitting in SDS hearing that song after we scored a touchdown being down 34-7.

Come up with a better one. (New thread? Huh? Huh?)

 

[phillycard]

The lyrics are a bit cheesy, but hey it's ours. Beats hearing that crap eagles fight song 10,000 times a day.

We have a lot of talented people on this board. I bet someone could come up with something super cool!

I hate that song. And it always ends with that stupid chant. Thank you New York Giants for giving me some peace from that crap this week.

 

[Stallion]

Sign me up. Fight songs are great!

 

[Cheesebeef]

the lyrics suck - leave 'em for dead - just bring back the tune!

 

[ANDY440]

Man law states fight songs must contain a minimum 50% cheese content divided equaly to tune and lyrics.

 

[Ryanwb]

the lyrics suck - leave 'em for dead - just bring back the tune!

I'm down with that.... besides, the real lyrics are not "Arizona Cardinals". Somebody just switched them. What are we, a high school team? (nobody answer that)

 

[40yearfan]

Maybe we could sing it at the beginning of the game instead of the national anthem.

Hmmmm, I wonder if Barry Manilow is a Cards fan?

 

[Redrage]

As the guy who sang it on the radio, put me down as a yes vote.

It's cheesey as hell, but it really does add something.

Speaking of the national anthem, the Cards need to get Jesse McGuire out there. I love that guy.

Would love to here the entire crowd belt this out!

To start the ball rolling:

(Hip Hop Beat)

THE CARDINALS ARE THE TEAM TO BEAT - YO.
THE OTHER TEAM* IS NOTHING BUT MEAT - YO.

WE GOTTA BRING IT.
WE BETTER-NOT WING IT.

WANNA, GONNA, CANNA, GOTTA BRING THE HEAT - YO.

(Then for the bridge - the beginning of the original Cardinal fight song)

THE CARDINALS ARE CHARGING
LET'S CHEER THEM ON THEIR WAY

(Repeat hip hop)

THE CARDINALS ARE THE TEAM TO BEAT - YO.
THE OTHER TEAM* IS NOTHING BUT MEAT - YO.

etc.

* We could insert the name of each opposing team - i.e.

THE RAMS ARE NOTHING BUT MEAT - YO! or
THE SEAHAWKS ARE NOTHING BUT MEAT - YO

Oh well. I never claimed to be a song writer.

 

[ANDY440]

I am not to crazy about the lyrics, but the music has got a good beat and it's easy to dance to...

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Oh, by the way, was that the first time in the history of the national anthem when they forgot to turn on the performer's microphone?

 

[TruColor]

I have a music degree...I should at least come up with a new arrangement of the old tune...
