I’m excited for the Super Bowl. The Pats aren’t in it, so I can relax, and I like watching the Niners. I was wondering…can you think of any songs that mention football? I can think of lots that mention baseball — “Centerfield”, “Mrs. Robinson”, “Paradise By the Dashboard Light”, and “Glory Days” come to mind immediately — but hardly any that mention football. All I can think of is the beginning of ““Coney Island Baby” (a personal favorite), and “Uptight” (“no football here or a cool don juan”).

Anything else?

    I think this is the first Super Bowl in at least ten years in which I can’t even begin to care about who wins. I suppose I favor the Ravens now because Michael Orr played for Ole Miss and because the 49ers have a trio of homophobic bigots who think the week before the Superbowl is the ideal time to start bashing on gays. But beyond that, I just feel nothing but ennui. I may actually watch the Puppy Bowl instead.

    I’m guessing it would be mostly country songs since it’s the Southern states that have a culture of the whole town going to the high school’s football games (see also Friday Night Lights).

    Most of the famous college fight songs were for the football team originally — lots of references without actually naming the sport – “pass the ball right down the line” – and lots about victory and fighting, and hardly any mention of concussions.

    While the sergeants played a marching tune
    We all got up to dance
    Oh, but we never got the chance

    ‘Cause the players tried to take the field
    The marching band refused to yield
    Do you recall what was revealed
    The day the music died

    I always assumed that was about football, though it’s never made explicit.

    But just to prove the natural superiority of baseball, there is no football-themed song that can beat Steve Goodman’s “A Dying Cubs Fan’s Last Request.”

    Do they still play the blues in Chicago
    When baseball season rolls around?
    When the snow melts away
    Do the Cubbies still play
    In their ivy-covered burial ground?
    When I was a boy, they were my pride and joy
    But now they only bring fatigue
    To the land of the free,
    The home of the brave,

    Old Princeton yells her Tiger,
    Wisconsin her Varsity,
    And they give the same old RAH! RAH! RAH!
    For each university,
    But the yell that always thrills me,
    And fills my heart with joy,
    Is the good old Oskee-wow-wow
    That they yell at Illinois.

    Chorus:
    Oskee-wow-wow Illinois!
    Our eyes are all on you.
    Oskee-wow-wow Illinois!
    Wave your Orange and your Blue, RAH! RAH!
    As the team trots out before you,
    Every man stand up and yell,
    Back the team to gain a victory,
    Oskee-wow-wow Illinois! HEY!

    Teddy Roosevelt may be famous,
    And his name you often hear,
    But it’s heroes on the football field
    Each college man holds dear.
    We think with pride of Roberts,
    Artie Hall and Heavy, too.
    Oskee-wow-wow for the wearers
    Of the Orange and the Blue!

    @Thoughtcrime: Which of course was a reworking of “Black and Yellow”, an ode to the Steelers. Such a rich tapestry.

    There is a truly awful, maudlin ode to high school football called “The Boys of Fall” by Kenny Chesney.

    The Chargers have two songs: Disco ditty “San Diego Super Chargers” and some throwaway song that POD wrote a few years ago.

    And these days there are scores of fans who have filled Youtube with homemade ballads praising their favorite teams. The talent in these videos… varies.

    Backfield in motion

    Oh, fellows, do not let the crimson down,
    Be of stout heart and true.

    Won’t it be peachy if we win the game?

    Do songs that mention the real football count (the one they play in Europe)? I can’t root for either team. One sports a star that was convicted for murder. The other comes from a city that just beat my Tigers in the World Series. A Superbowl victory, on top a World Series victory, on top of being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, just seems like too much good fortune for one town.

    No songs, but since this is a S.B. related thread I’ll just throw out that if you are a football fan and aren’t reading footballoutsiders.com (especially Ben Muth’s column about offensive line techniques), your chances of having a good grasp of what is really going on out on the field are substantially diminished. They break down the matchups, formations and plays 1000x better than anything you’ll hear on the TV. And that is one of the few blogs I read which has a higher signal-to-noise ratio in the open comments than this one, which is saying something. Get thee hence.

    I got a buncha friends from Cleveland, and they would prefer that the ex-Browns pawns of Art Modell just STFU and die~ after running out of Cleveland way bvack when.

    Personally, I’ve always liked the 49ers, Back when, we were at a big hotel out west near Jacksons Hole, and the waiters had name tags with their first name and their home state. Ours was “Joe” from Montana! Really, he said he was born in Montana but grew up in Wyoming, but the name tag was too cool.

    Joe Montana won some rings.

    But also too, Randy Moss has grown up, is an adult, and will throw a block down-field for another receiver or tight end.

    As a great natural talent who matured slowly, I hope he wins a ring Sunday. He’s come a long way from a very low beginning in a small town full of unemployed folks, without any real role model. His agent was a local crooked lawyer, who did him no favors about being realistic and saving for the future.

    So to come back from retirement, to work hard to be a team member, to finally learn that there are things on the football field more important than Randy, well, he’s come a long way to help the 49ers to the Super Bowl game. I hope they can pull it off.

    A recycled receiver and an 11-game rookie quarter-back/rusher, why, it’s better than fiction!

Listen to it again and see if you agree.

    of their hometown
    Rows of zeros
    On a field
    that’s turning brown
    They play baseball
    They play football
    under lights
    They play card games
    And we watch them every night

    I haven’t watched the Super Bowl in close to 20 years. Why does anyone watch it? Take an already insufferably boring & slow game, slow it down even more so corporate America can bombard you with ridiculous gimmicky commercials that are going to be re-aired repeatedly over the coming weeks, long after any novelty wears off. What’s the attraction?

    Woah!!

    Did anyone else watch the PBS news hour? For the first time in a generation, David Brooks was right (or at least better informed than) and Mark was wrong.

    They both picked the 49ers, but Mark was more conservative (Har, har!) than David, who picked the 49ers to score over 40 points.

    Mark went for the 49ers by something like 23-21 or something.

    I was fixing dinner, and wasn’t watching, but makeing conversation with the spouse. But it was a landmark event!!!

    Unless – of course – the Ravens would win big!!

    We’ll find out at the end of the game!

    I’m rooting for Randy Moss to score a couple of touchdowns late to ice an otherwise close game. Or make a good block, I’m not picky!!!

    One Friday night at a football game
    The Lord’s Prayer said and the Anthem sang
    A man said folks would you bow your heads
    For a list of local Vietnam dead
    Crying all alone under the stands
    Was a piccolo player in the marching band
    And one name read but nobody really cared
    But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

    Not sure if this counts, but Midnite Flite’s ’70s disco hit “Don’t Turn Away” was based on NBC’s theme music for their football coverage. (Well, actually their sports coverage in general, but still…)

    @Mikita21: “Buckle Down, Winsocki”–my dad used to sing that one to me now & again when putting me to bed when I was very small. :brushes away tear: He was the starting quarterback on his HS team–in the days of the single wing, when “quarterback” was a blocker literally 1/4 of the way back from the line (vs halfback & fullback)
