lizandboys Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 OK EVERYone, (including my brother the rabid 'Skins fan) thinks I'm crazy. Back in the days of the Hogs, Fun Bunch, Riggins...etc...there were a few songs (played quite a bit on local radio and I KNOW on WMAL, where Sonny, Sam and Frank announced games) that were remakes of top 40 songs. These songs sang of the awesome-ness of the Redskins (Monk's running, etc....) and were songs ONLY a Redskin's fan could love....I can't find them anywhere and no one else remember them...I bet someone here remembers them and may even have a recording to share. Thanks! Liz:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 wasn't that the George Michaels Dirt Band or something? I have a few downloaded on my computer. I may not be right about the name, but I know years back people talked about it on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonskinsfan Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can remember something like that...Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" became "Super Bowl". I was around 7 years old so its foggy, but you're not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but this is still one of my favorite gems. fjL-4nwnkkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but this is still one of my favorite gems. :rotflmao::rotflmao: Man that's even cheesier now to look back on. Up there with the Dolphins aping Hammer with "Can't Touch Us" for reasons why sport and music shouldn't collaborate. (Although I did kinda' like the Bears "Super Bowl Shuffle" back in the mid eighties.). And I hope someone has some link to what the OP's asking for. I really wana' here those, lol. Hail.

burgngold fan Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 yea i remember there where 2 or 3 songs that were take offs of top 40 songs. one of them was working our way back to the superbowl. original songs was working my way back to you. cant remember the other two rt off. but they were all song by the redskin players. i always thought that that was the coolest thing for the players to go out and sing them songs and really got the fans jacked up. wish i could remember what the others where. the video above was prob. one of the ones i was thinking of.

Diss Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I've been looking for these for awhile now. It was called "The Skins Dirt Band," and George Michael used to play them after just about every game in the early 80s. I believe the band that did the songs were actually members of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, hence the name. I do not have any of these, but I would love to see/hear them again.

SkinsFan2000 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have a copy of the origianal cassette with all the songs on it. The Super Bowl song, "The Game" was to the tune of "Fame". They are all great and mention all the best plays of the season. Some of the songs are: "Splish Splash" vs. Tampa (during a torrential downpour) "Shootout at R.F.K." vs. cowboys (NFC Championship) "Respect" vs. Lions (R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Beat the Lions 123) "Redskins Do It Again" (to the tune of Another One Bites the Dust) "Big Bad John" "The Game" vs. Dolphins (to the tune of Fame) There was also a good one for the game against Philly and a season recap song... Now I have to go find my copy and also find a cassette player that works lol. HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizandboys Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 AWESOME! I thought this might be the right place...there's one more that I'm not hearing about - def. a top 40 knock off, about Monk running....I'm hoping it's gonna pop into my head one day (maybe I'll hear the original and it'll trigger something...) Gotta share these w/my diehard 10 year old fan and show him the glory days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I remember a real cheesy one from 87-88, Bronco Busters to the tune of Ghostbusters. That one got play down here in Richmond. The earlier tunes from Super Bowl XVII I never got to hear. "A Doug Williams pass adds a touch of class, so what's it gonna be...Bronco Busters!" More cheese than Hickory Farms.
