    So the rockets were the first to play "we will rock you" at games right?

    It sounds marginally better than the original to me. The original wasn't a fight song, it was more like a ho-down. I don't know why Miami ever accepted it as their fight song. Houston? Yeah, I can understand that.

    Here's a guy who plays instruments, apparently sings, etc. with his Dolphins "fight song". Yes, I'd love to charge into war with Jimmy Buffett, a bunch of drunks, and this mess :

    I remember that song (I had the 45 record!) but have no idea who sang it.

    Do you remember "Big Earl"?

    There is nothing T-Pain could do to make this song any worse.

    "00" sang it, and it, too, was terrible. :D

    "In case you didn't know, the reason the Dolphins and Oilers had the same fight song all those decades is because the man who wrote it offered it to every AFL team, and both of them accepted it and used it. Obviously, the Dolphins are the only team to use it now." --John Mcclain

    Very... proudly, I don't contribute to the problem by supporting such tripe.

    Marginally better than the original does not make it not crappy, and at least the original was... well... anyway. Just because someone else plays instruments, sings, writes songs etc. and sucks too doesn't make the TPAIN thing any less TPAINFULLY bad.

    Further, while I am not even close to being a Buffet fan, at least he ripped his own song while sucking.

    Except that two different men claim to have wrote it.
