andyburd Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 the funky four suck. i'd prefer just singing hail to the redskins instead of them dancing We need to get rid of the Filthy Four.

C.Taylor Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Run or pass and score -- we want a lot more! I realize these are the "official" lyrics now but I seem to remember, as recently as the early '70s, that it went "Run or pass and score - we want heap more". I'm guessing the P.C. police did their editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLockesGhost Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Blasphemy!Hail to the Redskins! Hail Victory! Braves on the Warpath! Fight for old D.C.! Run or pass and score -- we want a lot more! Beat 'em, Swamp 'em, Touchdown! -- Let the points soar! Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah! Hail to the Redskins!

Sorry you're not feeling it- maybe go get a beer or something? I'm sure they are great guys, my point is, they bring back bad mems of the NORV era. Everyone in my section was saying the same thing. Plus, that song is BEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The Funky Four means well, and it was funny the first 5 times I saw it. But now 40 times later has totally played out their act. At least change the song game to game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateSkins Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 HTTR was one of the first songs I ever learned. I sang it all day during the 87 Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 jk- I'm just happy to have been part of this board for so long and to be part of the only marching band in the NFL. (Sorry, the Ravens' band sucks) Enjoy the ride. The Redskins are going to win the Superbowl this year. Now there is a real fan, take note, boat jumpers.

whatmeworry Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Ive never noticed it really, but in the big picture, its a small gripe dont ya think? After an absolute shootout like you saw, you are griping about HTTR during the commercial breaks!?!?!? yeah, beats them pimping popeye's chicken for the milionth time.

112row2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I sat by the tunnel with the Hogettes. The funky 4 were only out there once. The TV timeouts are mandated.....so no chance of a change there.I actually thought everyone was really into the song......and all that I saw were enunciating the words quite nicely. Blondie so YOU were the babe up there in the jersey with the hogettes. :notworthy like a rose among thorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least change the song game to game. Well, not everyone in the stadium is season tickets holders. Just kick back and enjoy it or get a beer man- they're just doing what are asked of them. Some people really like it, so just relax and let people enjoy it. It's all good in the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeydont Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 next to the lords prayer and the national anthem is Hail to the Redskins. :gaintsuck :gaintsuck :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112row2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I loved the fact that there was a point in the second half, I think it was at the break between the 3rd and 4th quarter, where the band suddenly played HTTR and kept the MO going without the prompt of a score. Loved the energy from the crowd all night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxman06 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I hate the funky four, they are stupid. I would rather them have a tee shirt launch giveaway or something fun. And the wave sucks also. Its stupid, if your going to do it, do it on defense, dont distract the offense. :dallasuck:eaglesuck:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostic Hog Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 If you don't know the words, then buy the sweater from the Redskins store. :laugh: Sounds easy, but the words are on your BACK !! Do you just wear the shirt backwards and then look down? Maybe they should make the shirt a little more "fan friendly" for those that don't know the words: on the front AND upside down so you can read it.

112row2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Did you see me?Blondie Absolutely. We sit second row right on the tunnel. I looked up to see the aforementioned blonde locks against the burgundy jersey. How could I NOT see you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I agree, personally I expected the funky four to be a novelty that would have faded away by now. >> They aren't going away. They are a clever disguise for a FedEx commercial, just like the "Get well hit of the game", "Show us your smile", and all the other non-stop ads Snyder shoves down our throat from the time we walk into the stadium until we leave. I am waiting for the day when we have the Budweiser drunken fan of the game. Winner gets a free ride home or to the hospital. I can remember in RFK they used to announce scores of other games. I know they show scores of the other games, but it was fun to cheer when it was announced the Cowboys were losing (or had lost) and boo if they were winning.
