Question: What is the chant during "Dixieland Delight"?

[92tide]

The entire song is a sexual reference. So if you have a problem with the sexual words added then it makes no sense.

And the fact that a thread had to be made to tell people what was being said shows that it is pretty hard to decipher unless you know what is being said.

And honestly, kids are more likely to walk around campus and hear, to where they can understand it, the one dirty word than they are during that song.

i think it was an answer song to afternoon delight

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, I don't & a lot of folks on here don't feel the same way as you do, I understand what you're saying, I don't agree with your opinion..Kids are bombarded with sex already enough on TV, at schools, and everywhere in life in general with sex sex sex, an Alabama football game shouldn't be one of those places..Like I said, we're all entitled to our own opinion, and you certainly do on here like we all do, I don't agree with ya this time..

so we should put the cheerleaders and the crimsonettes in burqua's and set a strict dress code that doesn't allow what 90% the sorority girls wear into the stadium? After all we need to protect the children from sexualized content, right?

Look, drop the straw man argument and let it go - if you can't agree that it's disrespectful to curse in front of someone else's kid, then you'll never understand what some here are saying. You can rationalize it all day long, but we don't allow that language here as we want it to be 'kid-safe' - it's a simple matter of respect.

I'm like a lot of people on here. I don't want my kids exposed to foul language. I don't want them using it. We've heard them sparsely on TV and in movies. We stop and explain that they aren't to use that language. I've tried to explain to my kids that the reason people talk that way is because they aren't intelligent enough to come up with the words to express themselves in a manner that doesn't use expletives repeatedly. Kids also pick up lyrics to songs and things that are said, way better than an adult. Think about it, you picked up the words to songs your parents couldn't make out, and your kids are picking up the words to songs you can't figure out. With all that said, my kids don't get to go to many Bama games. They don't need to go and listen to the F-bomb get dropped as part of what is normally an innocuous song, that seemingly everybody around them is enjoying singing along to.

You bring kids to a place with rowdy drunks, you're gonna hear some salty language. And the crowd is gonna keep yelling it if this song is played. Take that into consideration when planning your family activities.

They could easily change the Auburn part to "Auburn Sucks" and the song would not have a vulgar 4-letter word in it. I see both sides of the argument. Students will be students and the fact they feel like they can yell a 4-letter word at the tops of their lungs and not have consequences is a thrill. Especially, when its done in a way to take a shot at our rivals.

The only way to stop this is to stop playing the song. Actually, I love hearing the crowd and students get into the song and blowing the roof off the stadium. The LSU game was an incredible atmosphere and to keep the loudest fans cheering at the tops of their lungs you have to tailor the music towards them and not the older crowd. There are both positives and negatives with this when young kids are present.

My personal opinion is let them have fun and keep the place rocking. I sit with my kids well away from the students so never an issue. They are also taught whats right and wrong and will have to make that choice down the road of which path to take. You cant shelter them from everything and if you do you are setting them up to be overwhelmed IMO.

Roll Tide and keep the electricity going!

In general, kids don't know what song lyrics mean. Geez...I didn't know that "Afternoon Delight" meant "bow chicka wow wow" :wink: until THIS YEAR and I am 44 years old!! I didn't infer a sexual reference to Dixieland Delight either!! Kids do not understand the "meaning" of most song lyrics on the radio these days but they do not need to hear the four letter word that is being referred to here in any situation. It's common courtesy. You can say that word around me all day and night and I'm not offended or disgusted but say it around my kid and you will be on the receiving end of a butt-chewing.

This is just another instance of parents assuming their kids have common sense and respect others. My advice--you have to TEACH your kids what is appropriate by your words and actions. Don't let society raise your kids or you will be extremely disappointed and your kids will be the ones adding foul language to the songs at football games!!

I agree with the poster above who said that a few thousand people adding these words does not make us a "classless fan base." Every school has fans who use poor judgment and most of those sit in the student section. If you take a kid to a game and sit in the student section, then you are just as responsible for promoting bad behavior--just by sitting there with children!! If people in your section are using foul language, ask them to stop and if they don't get security. It's that simple.

I agree. No need to punish everyone else by killing a great atmosphere because of some sophomoric loudmouths. However, I have no problem calling them out as such with this thread or in any other manner.

agreed. if you don't want your kids exposed to this kind of behavior, dont bring them.

and before anyone wets themselves ( ) no i am not condoning the use of "bad" language around kids. you just have to realize that is what you get when you go to a major sporting event in this country.

I think we should take it to NS and beat this dead horse til it's resolved.

Agreed.

 

[BamaMoon]

I think the OP got his answer! :wink:

I wish the most offensive word in the chant could be removed.

Yes our children will learn about sex from the world no matter how involved we are in teaching them. Yes they'll learn what this word is way too young. But I think what those of us who have a problem with this are saying is "don't be so brash with offensive words."

Some in our society have lost their ability to blush.

Good feeling, won't you stay with me just a little longer?

Seeing as he was replying to the sexual content of the song and added lyrics, not the one explicit word (that isn't sexual in this instance) his response really wasn't out of line.
