Whenever a team sucks for so long...and they start getting a little shining season....there tends to be a SONG associated with the team.
It seems to be the rage in football. Whether it is "I got a feeling...", "Hail To The Redskins", "Love Ya Blue" or "Who Dey" [Saints or Bengals]....there seems to be a song attached.
The Cincinnati Bengals haven't seen the playoffs in 15 years. Fifteen bad seasons. Hard to believe since Cincy was a upper tier team in the AFC in the 1980s. Now, the entire 'NATI is going ga-ga in their orange and black and talking playoffs. Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer jerseys are seen everywhere. Fans scream "Who Dey!" around town. Of course, "Welcome the the Jungle" [the Guns N Roses song they adopted in the late 80s] has made a comeback. They are actually not ashamed to say they are fans.
So now to the song.
Bootsy Collins, a Cincy native who is best known for his funk music with Parlament, has formed a song for the Bengals. A couple of players writing lyrics, an Ice Cube sample, and some elbow grease formed "FEAR DA TIGER".
There's a video ready to debut next Sunday at the Bengals-Colts game.
