SEC as Soundtrack: Florida

PrintWe love music here at RBR almost as much as we love football. So, in an attempt to help waste away the last bit of the offseason, I bring you the latest (and dare I say greatest) stupid idea for a series of posts: The SEC as soundtrack. In order to make things more interesting for myself, I've given myself some parameters:
- Only music from 1990 to the present may be included...largely to prevent people telling me I should use "Deacon Blues" or "Sweet Home Alabama" for the Tide's song.
- It has to be something I actually listen to
So, with that in mind, I'm going to start with the SEC East and go through it alphabetically and then do the West in reverse alpha order so we're the last one revealed. Today's entry: Florida (and the lyrics are NSFW, though I doubt anyone will be able to decipher many of the words in that bit...)
"Swamp Song" by Tool. Originally chosen because of the obvious association of the word "swamp," the lyrics seem to be pretty apt to describe Florida's home field advantage and to the feeling most opponents must feel when facing the juggernaut that is the Florida Gators
You're dancing in quicksand.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.

I'm assuming Beck's Loser

barn reference> Savin all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park
viles (Kiffin) reference> Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey.
kiffin = backdoorboys
barn = creed

I don't know...
…if this falls into the what you actually listen to category, but ‘Boom’ by P.O.D. almost seems to have been written in an attempt to be played during the CBS SEC game. Yes, it’s fairly cheesy, but much of the lyrical content would be applicable to any team with a hard-hitting defense.

And...
…speaking of tenacious D, “Wonder Boy” wouldn’t have been a bad choice for Florida/Tim Tebow (he is their entire team, right?).

That's my favorite highlight video ever...
Thank you for finding it. YouTube took the music out… I used to listen to that before I’d run, and now I can again.

Yeah, I was surprised...
…to find the music gone when I pulled up my youtube favorites. I was determined to find it somewhere. Crimson Tradition(now TideTV) did some great highlight videos that year to some awesome music.
You had me at "ROLL TIDE"!!!
Re: Creed & NKOTB
a) I have to actually like it and in the case of NKOTB, it’s pre-1990 (I think they are anyway.)
Re: POD & Tenacious D
a) I actually like P.O.D. (they’re my one nu-metal weakness)
b) Wonderboy would’ve been a good fit for Florida.

TOOL is the best...
have listened to them since ’93…seen them in concert three times (as recently as 7/27/09 in Atlanta). Anything by Tool is always a nice choice.
i freakin hate tool
most completely unoriginal “original” band to date/
he was injured. injured bad.
I gotta song...
Its called "VT gonna get there A** kicked pretty sonn!!
If I'm an Ole Miss Runnin' Rebel, I'd say. . . . .
. . . Runnin’ rebels don’t watch where they stumble and wander! And if I’m knee deep in anything, it’s “boo-ya”, you coming of age Gators. And you can bet your bottom dollar I can cut and dance on quicksand. But you boys sure look funny dancing on vaseline. So, if you ask nicely, maybe my Ole Miss will let us come back again? Let’s get with this! (who’s your daddy? hint: he’s a Nutt)
Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"
I really have to say....
I think Florida would be some nouveau riche d’bag band, utterly lacking in substance, taste, history or decorum.

You Suck- by the Call Backs
And you fall on down again
Failure is your best known friend
You try hard but you lose
(I really got to give it to you)
Yet you refuse to give in
(But I Won’t)
Give it all up and go on home
Nobody will care you’ll be left alone
Just leave here now and go on home

THIS IS THE WINNER!
Can’t go wrong with Gang Starr!
I was listening to Pavement on my cruise, a lot. “Cut Your Hair” is a decent reminder of the Gator “jorts&mullett” look that’s broke.
Suckas need bodyguards and barbers!
