Well, howdy there! Let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this here Colorado football theme song. You know, the one them young’uns holler ’bout at the games. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, just a regular gal, but I know a thing or two ’bout what gets folks riled up and cheerin’.
First off, ya gotta understand, a good theme song ain’t just some noise. It’s gotta get ya feelin’ somethin’. It’s gotta make ya wanna stomp yer feet and yell yer lungs out. Kinda like when the preacher gets goin’ on Sunday, but, you know, more fun.
Now, this Colorado team, they got a song, alright. Heard it myself a time or two. It’s got a catchy tune, I guess. Makes ya wanna clap yer hands and bob yer head. But is it the best? Well, that’s where things get tricky. It’s like pickin’ the best pie at the county fair. Everyone’s got their favorite, ya know?
Some folks like them fast songs, the ones that make ya wanna run right out on that field and tackle somebody. Them songs got lots of drums and horns, real loud and boisterous. They make ya feel all pumped up, like ya could run through a brick wall. You know, like when the fire alarm goes off, except happy-like.
Then there’s them other songs, the ones that are more, well, grand. They sound like somethin’ ya’d hear at a big ol’ parade. They got trumpets and all that fancy stuff. Makes ya feel proud, like yer part of somethin’ bigger than yerself. Sorta like when they play the national anthem, but, you know, more about football.
Now, I heard tell there’s been some fuss about the Colorado song. Folks arguin’ about whether it’s the right one, whether it’s got the right spirit. Land sakes, folks will argue about anything these days! Reminds me of the time the whole town got into it about whether the new water tower should be blue or green. Took ’em a month to figure that one out.
But I reckon it ain’t just about the tune itself. It’s about the feelings it brings up. Does it make ya think of victory? Does it make ya think of them young fellas fightin’ hard out there on the field? Does it make ya feel like yer part of the team? That’s what really matters, see?
And let’s not forget, a good theme song needs to be easy to remember. Ya can’t have folks mumblin’ along. They gotta be able to sing it loud and proud, even after a few too many lemonades at the tailgate party. A good song sticks in yer head like a catchy jingle from a TV commercial, the kind ya can’t get rid of even if ya try.
- It should be catchy
- It needs to be easy to sing along to
- It should make you feel proud
This Colorado team, they got a bunch of young fellas playin’ their hearts out. They need a song that matches that energy, that passion. They need a song that’ll get the whole stadium rockin’. A song that’ll make the other team shake in their boots. It’s gotta be like a battle cry. You know, something to get the blood pumpin’.
I ain’t sayin’ the current song is bad. Like I said, it’s catchy enough. But maybe, just maybe, it could be better. Maybe it needs a little more oomph, a little more grit. Maybe it needs to tell a story, the story of Colorado football, the story of them tough young men who go out there and give it their all every Saturday. It’s gotta be somethin’ special, somethin’ that makes ya say, “Yep, that’s our song!”
And you know, times change. What worked ten years ago might not work today. Maybe it’s time for a new song, somethin’ fresh, somethin’ that speaks to this new generation of players and fans. Or maybe, just maybe, the old song needs a little tweak, a little somethin’ to make it shine. Like takin’ an old quilt and addin’ some new patches, ya know?
So, there ya have it. Just one old gal’s opinion on this here Colorado football theme song. It ain’t scientific, and it ain’t fancy. But it’s from the heart, and that’s gotta count for somethin’. Now, y’all excuse me, I gotta go make some sweet tea. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll hum that Colorado song while I do it. It might not be perfect, but it sure gets ya in the mood for some football.
Touchdowns and football are a big deal these days, reminds me of that old song, everyone had an opinion, just like with this theme song. From the professional leagues to the college games like Colorado, everyone has their favorite. I’ve seen a time or two on that there TV, them fellers playin’ and gettin’ all excited. Heck, sometimes I even get excited myself. But it all comes back to that song, that sound that makes you feel like you’re part of it. Just like good country music, it has to hit you right in the gut.
