Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Most teams don't have fight songs. In fact I can't even remember any others. But I'm sure my mind must be failing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f_dallas Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 It's cute for a college fight song. Funny, it kinda matches with what the Skins have been doing the past couple years- College coach, college execution, former college stars at the U of F......

bubba9497 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 The Houston Oilers number #1 was a pretty cool fight song, but soubnded more like a drinking song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Nothing comes close to the feeling you get when you are in the stadium and the song comes on and 80,000 strong are feeling it and singing along......I only wish I could have done it once at RFK.

NoCalMike Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I have a question about the song: On the "rah rah rah" parts.......do people still say, "rah rah rah" cause when I was at the game I swore I people said, "fight fight fight" at that part......maybe my memory is just a litttle gray at the moment.

Dan T. Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I've got a copy of the sheet music framed at home, autographed by Barney Breeskin, who wrote the music. I think the wife of former owner George Preston Marshall wrote the words. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people don't know all of the words but try to sing along anyhow. The Miami Dolphins have the same version of that Houston Oilers song.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Originally posted by gridironmike Alot of people don't know all of the words but try to sing along anyhow. The Miami Dolphins have the same version of that Houston Oilers song. Miami ripped it off. Our song written by George Preston Marshall's wife, Corrine Griffith. She wrote a good book in 1947 about being the wife of the Redskins owner. It's kind of rare and occasionally appears on ebay. It took three times before I won an auction to get it. Best of all the one I won has the original dustjacket!:cool: I swell up with pride everytime I hear "Hail To The Redskins!" even when we stink. As bad as we are now you can't deny our past and our storied history. Sammy Baugh epitomizes what being a champion on a storied franchise is like. Riggo and others are like gods, but Sammy is Zeus of our team. He's the last surviving superstar of his era.:notworthy It's comparable to a Lou Gehrig or DiMaggio being still alive.
