The Oregon Ducks have a power ballad … sung by Sebastian Bach (VIDEO)
In case you don’t have a rooting interest in tonight’s BCS championship contest (or just forgot about it since the college season ended over a month ago), this might give you a reason to cheer for Oregon … at least for one game.
Last week, the Jimmy Fallon show decided to bless the Ducks with something that no college football team has ever had before: their very own power ballad. And they got none other than Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach to do the honors. Quite frankly, we’ve had this song running through our head all weekend. It’s frickin’ incredible, and it makes us want to run through a wall for this team.
So without any further adieu, here it is … “Don’t F*ck With The Ducks”:
And just because of this beautiful ballad, we’re throwing our allegiance behind Oregon tonight. GO DUCKS!!!

Prince’s new Vikings Fight Song = Worst. Song. Ever.
Prince is clearly inspired by his favorite NFL club. Just look at that passion!
I gotta admit, when I first saw the headline that Prince had written a new song for the Minnesota Vikings, I got pretty excited. We know that Prince – being from Minneapolis – is a real Vikings fan, so I figured this was a perfect fit. As a child of the 80′s, I had visions of a funky-ass track, featuring Prince’s signature guitar and vocal stylings, with Sheila E on the backbeat and a hyped-up, synth-driven chorus. Maybe throw in some Vanity and Appolonia dancing side stage, and I am there!
Ummm … not so much. Instead, apparently Prince “saw the future” during last weekend’s blowout win over the Cowboys and, clearly inspired by the religious implications of Brett Favre’s third coming, wrote a Vikings-themed gospel song later that night. That’s right. It’s a gospel song. And a half-assed one at that. Prince doesn’t sing on it, opting instead for a local Minneapolis youth choir, and he seems to have used a busted Casio synth to lay down the track, recording directly to a cassette deck.
But don’t let me influence your opinion. Here is a clip of the song, so you can judge for yourself:
If you’re so inclined, you can hear the full version of the song here – Audio player at the right of the page.

Dolphins continue to set new standards for awful fight songs
If only the Dolphins had enlisted Andy Samberg for this gig
It has been a busy off-season for the defending AFC East Champion Miami Dolphins. Not that they’ve done anything particularly notable to improve their football club, but owner Stephen Ross sure has been busy rubbing elbows with the South Florida music community!!!
First, Jimmy Buffett became a minority owner in the Dolphins and wrote a horrendous fight song for the team. Then, both Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony purchased stakes in the franchise, ensuring that Miami had cornered the market on mediocre pop stars in the NFL.
Well, it appears the Dolphins weren’t satisfied there, and have now enlisted auto-tuning hip-hop sensation T-Pain to craft a new anthem for the club … and it’s even worse than you could have possibly imagined.
It’s like they didn’t even try. T-Pain just threw in an 1987 video game soundtrack on a loop and had his 3-yr old nephew write the lyrics.
This begs the question, though, has anyone consulted Bill Parcells in all of this?!? I mean, if Sundays in Miami are filled with this crap, followed by “Conga” and “Margaritaville” to psych out their opponents … I don’t suspect Landshark Stadium is going to be an intimidating place for rival teams to play.
Unless they are worried that the rhythm is, in fact, gonna get them. In that case, they should be afraid. Very afraid.
Cleanse your aural palette with a much better T-Pain joint after the jump: The Lonely Island’s “On A Boat”
