Any non-Tennessee fans ever sing the Rocky Top song?

As a gator fan, I'm sitting in Alabama in one of the most Roll Tide towns in the state. While eating at the local Waffle House, the song comes on the juke box.

I catch myself singing it, and I gotta admit. It's pretty catchy tune. Especially the, "...woo! Rocky Top Tennessee!" part. I look to my left and a Bama fan is dancing to it in his booth. Anyone else do this?

They only play it 217 times a game.

That song is America.

Clean country living, self-sufficiency, moonshine, and dealing with government officials who stick their nose where it doesn't belong.

At a Phish show, yes.


Drugs were involved so that may have played a role.

The actual Osborne Brothers song is great. The bastardized overplayed UT band version is annoying

I'm confused, I thought the Lil John 3rd down for what was your team song these past few years. Seriously, you guys had to be sick of that song when your D kept giving up long drives.

Maybe not but country music and Bluegrass music is American music. Originated in the United States. as is cornbread, btw.

I'm definitely not a fan of Tennessee football, but I like the song Rocky Top. Is a part of Americana, whether you like it or not.

Bluegrass is a genre created by the Ulster Scots with a heavy African American influence (rhythm and banjo).

I used to play in several bluegrass bands. Whenever that abortion was requested, we would respectfully decline and advise that were were members of an elite group known as P.A.R.T.

My kids have never seen Bama lose to Tennessee, so they sing it occasionally. It's kinda cute.
