Football Needs A Theme

Football needs a Theme Song, man. Yeah, I know each network's sports coverage has some fanfare of trumpets blazoning out all over the place. But I'm not talking about instrumentals. I'm talking about something catchy! You know what I mean!

FOOTBALL!!!* - any time you get it something
FOOTBALL!!! – any time you get it free
FOOTBALL!!! – any time you something something
Not gettin’ hassled, not gettin’ hustled
Keeping your head above water!
Makin’ a wave when you can!
TEMPORARY LAYOFFS!!!! (foot ball!)
Easy credit ripoffs!! (foot ball!)
Splashin' and survivin'!! (foot ball!)
Stuck in a muse-um!! (foot ball-alll!)
Ain't we lucky we got 'em...?
Bum, bah-doom-bah-doomp doomm,
FOOTBALLLLLLL!!!
(soulful vocal ad-lib)

Something like that. Only make a little more effort to change the lyrics. "Tryin' to make the Play-offs!! FOOTBALL!!!"

Perhaps the above could serve as a stop-gap theme until a more suitable theme can be commissioned by the League.



*sung to the tune of "The New Official Theme to Football"

potentially suitable lyrics...

Football! And you're tryin to get a first down
Football! And you're tryin to get upfield
Football! And you're tryin to score a touchdown
Not gettin tackled, not makin' fumbles
Stretchin' your time of possession! Makin' a play when you can
Tryin' to make the Playoffs! Foot ball!
Way to fake the hand-off! Foot ball!
Catchin' and colliding! Foot ball!
Out on the gridiron!!! Foot-ballllll!
Ain't that what we rely on??
Football!!!!!
yeah

Kind of giving short shrift to the D, though, I admit. Whatever, those are only suggested lyrics. I'm sure they could hire the Coors ad guys to jingle it up a notch.
