2013 LSU vs Alabama game - One of the loudest renditions.

Can’t see how this would keep students in the stands into the 4th quarter. If they want to hear the song they’ll just pull it up on YouTube. It’s not like back in the day when we’d spend HOURS glued to MTV just waiting til they played the Thriller video.

Dixieland Delight is about audience engagement and participation.People aren't excited for the song only because they want to hear the music.
several years ago i ran across rocky horror on tv late at night. it got awkward when i started doing the time warp by myself and i turned the tv off and went to sleep.Dixieland Delight is about audience engagement and participation.
Nobody sits at home and watches Rocky Horror Picture Show on DVD, either.
You know when.....Music?!?
On MTV?!?
When was that?
YAAASSSSS!!!! Was there in the upper deck above the student section and the whole stadium was rocking!! Best game I've been to and I spent 5 years at the Capstone!2013 LSU vs Alabama game - One of the loudest renditions.

In Baton Rouge?????They did play it during a commercial break at the 2016 Bama-LSU game. It’s still pretty cool how the crowd is for that song.
Yeah maybe it is just because I am no longer a student sitting one section over from the band, but the last Bama game I went to I wasn’t even sure if the band was playing or not. It was all piped in music. And when the band did play rammer jammer they piped that over the speakers but it just made the whole thing out of sync.In my limited research on this, I believe Dixieland Delight was banned circa 2014. My son, who didn't step foot in BDS until 2016 is fully aware of the added lyrics by the students so any thought of waiting for a new crop of students that don't know the additions is not realistic.
At LSU, we have our own banned song, "Neck". One of the things that made it great was it was the band and not piped in music. You can youtube it to see what the STTDB stands for that our students added. It was "banned" in 2010 or so, but occasionally makes an appearance, like last year when Odell Beckham watched a game from the student section and told the band he would pay the fine, so they played it. Our stadium rocks when that song is played and we went so far as to have players beg the students not to chant the vulgarity. LSU distributed literature requesting we keep it clean. None of that works with 18-23 year olds.
It's a shame that two awesome bands, MDB and The Golden Band from Tigerland, are no longer the centerpiece of the game day experience. Now, let me go yell at someone who is on my lawn.
For the Spring game I sat in the South Zone, right next to the band, and it was awesome! For Ark State I sat in the North Zone and could hear them a little, but barely. For aTm I sat in the upper deck on the 50 yard line on the Alabama side of the field and the sound of anything from the band was a mess with the speakers.Yeah maybe it is just because I am no longer a student sitting one section over from the band, but the last Bama game I went to I wasn’t even sure if the band was playing or not.

As far as student attendance goes and whether we sound so what student want or not, I think a lot of people forget that the football team is the University if Alabama- football team. This isn’t the NFL, it is a school. While I want the students to stay the whole game, talk of stripping students of their seats and taking away all the songs and traditions they like as though they are just lucky to be able to walk through the gate is just wrong imo. The University needs to be about students first, then everyone else.
You know I can get behind replacing the expletive, but replacing the wall part is beyond stupid. The song itself isn’t vague of what it’s about. If they are stressing that line too then they need to just do away with the song permanently.
That's incredibly lame.
Yeah, that’s about to go over about as well as a lead balloon. They probably just lost any chance they had of people toning it down.
