WeaponsOfMossDestruction* Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 With the dawning of the season I believe we need to make sure :helmet: every skins fan knows the fight song, I say this becuase during the :logo: playoffs in Seattle we all huddled in the corner of the stadium :seahawksu where the skins players where entering the feild, our :geek: overwhelming numbers caught the attention of several camera :grouphug: crews, we decided to sing Hail To The Redskins, unfortunately the :yikes: majority of our group could only recite the first verse "Hail to the :doh: Redskins...Fight for ole D.C." Maybe this is a reflection upon the :2cents: youth of our fans, which is great, whether your a young skin or an :2drunks: old vet check the link learn the song.

Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Good idea! I have a couple of questions about the words posted in that link. I always thought it was "Hail to the Redskins, hail victory." Your listed words say "Hail to victory." Which is right? What's up with the "Rah, rah, rah" after "sons of Washington." I've always sung and heard those around me singing "Fight, fight, fight!" Are there two different versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponsOfMossDestruction* Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 BG4ever I do not know for sure, I believe over the years the song has evolved, I will keep looking. Also I am looking for the lyrics on redskins.com but have yet to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins8921 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yea I was really surprised after the giants game a few years ago. We got on the metro bus(my brother's a giants fan) and a woman said "Aww, poor you, you're on the wrong bus. We're singing te song." Then once they closed the doors and started going we all sang it and after "Fight for ol' D.C.!" everybody stopped and I was just kinda . The woman that was like leading it was like "Yea I don't know that other part, I don't think ANYBODY really knows that part" and laughed.... I was like um I do and sang it and tried to teach some people. It was kinda funny cause I was like 13 or 14 at the time haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Kaos Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dont blame it on age, my 11 yr. old daughter knows all the words from start to finish! Ask Pez, he tested her at the Dallass game last year and was very impressed at her upbringing Agreed with OP though, everyone should know the song, everyone that calls themselves a fan anyways.....

Mr. S Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 ii have one version where they say "hail hail hail" I guess to each their own. I'll just be happy if people know the verse instead of just the chorus. Also, every other version of HTTR is "rah rah rah", which I think is correct. Fight is just something brought in as of recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O-Line Guy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Been a Skins fan for 40 years, it's always been "rah, rah, rah" to me. Now, my daughter and I will be at the Bills game Saturday night - should we be prepared to say "fight, fight, fight"? LOL!! Either way - we're singin'!

CM916 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I got a bathroom on the club level to do it after we beat Dallas last year, in time with the music on the PA system. I also led the endzone by the pirate ship at the '06 Bucs game. That time, a good 300 people backed me up. I try to educate the silent fans by loudly going through every verse along with the band whenever we score. I'm hoping I won't need to do that this season back up in the nosebleeds.
