I think it is classless too...
As an aside, they dropped Tennessee from the additional lyrics and have added FSU.
Auburn
LSU
and FSU.
It doesn't make it any better, but I think we all share the sentiment towards the 'Noles right now.

I hope I was clear that I am not advocating the behavior, just recognizing that young people view public vulgarity in a different light than most of us here. Music, movies and even TV are effectively endorsing and occasionally glorifying that view and absolutely nothing is out of bounds on the internet. We can stress over it or get used to it; our choice, but it ain't going away.
Ditto. I saw it as harmless.
The recent additions should go by the board, or the song should be dumped.
Yes, just drop it; having to plug your kids ears is a clue when to drop something.
It's been there atleast the last 4 years because I've heard it, and I remember a thread asking what they were saying not too far back. I'm surprised that it took people this long to gripe about it to be honest. The only way to stop it is take the song out of the playlist, but then again it did no good when they tried taking out rammer jammer, so they will find a way to do it. So classless yes but I doubt anything will be done about it without people finding some other way to do something else.
We have honestly never really heard it. We don't sit near the student section ever, so I never heard people around us singing it. Now, I already knew about it and I would never partake in that.
I know it's not traditional but I really really love what they did with the music in the Tippi Tate game. Sounds even better when listening to that game with headphones on. If that gets the players going, I can overlook it. But yeah, we need to knock out the uber profanity in DLD.And dare I say, piping in the band over the speakers....
... and ban Rammer Jammer too. :biggrin:
My son said it started while he was there, between 09-13. I doubt the students will ever stop chanting it. My guess is that if it is loud on Saturday, and it will be, there won't be any Dixieland Delight at all next season.
Stop playing the song, end of problem. This shouldn't be difficult. I love music as well as anyone, but can't we come up with a song that doesn't promote profanity? How many small kids are usually at a game? We don't have to do this.
That's easier said than done,and plus it's way more than the Greeks who are doing it. There is only an immediate solution and that is take the song out of the playlist , but then they will find another thing to do. I don't condone any of it and I don't participate in it either, but you can't stop a bunch of hooligans chanting stuff that is inappropriate.

The song isn't the problem. Stupid 18-22 year-olds are. I was there once. No excuse. Stop it or the song goes away. Period.
i would expect the students would come up with plenty of profane chants regardless of the song. its not the song that is causing the issue, it is those chanting during it.
i first started going to games in 78, we would always have cheap seats right next to the student section, and when i would usher with the boy scouts, we were in the same section. i heard plenty of "inappropriate" things being chanted. as long as there are drunk/rowdy students/fans at the game, you will have this type of behavior.
This. If you expect to be considered as a class team and school, you don`t do stuff like this, period. IMHO, there`s too much history, legend and tradition with which BDS and the University of Alabama are steeped in to have it disgraced in such a way.
I don't understand why we play this song in the first place. It contains vulgarity without any addition from the students.
Those two words are far worse than anything the students have added.
Our fraternity used to have some chants and songs that would singe the hairs off your ears. When I was pledge, we had to do them, but I always thought they were kind of pointless and stupid. You're right. College age kids have a talent for pointless, stupid and profane. Same as it ever was.
