Miami Dolphins fight song via T-Pain

2tpain.jpgHip hop artist and Tallahassee native T-Pain mixed it up on South Beach Friday night at Casa Casuarina (formerly the Versace Mansion), backing the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders 2010 calendar unveiling and… drumroll…. debuting a new version of the Miami Dolphins Fight Song.

Traditionalists, purists, historians, fear not… T-Pain has kept the song’s lyrics and tune in tact. He’s just made it a 21st century autotune version. Check it out HERE.

I was standing next to Nat Moore when the song debuted – Moore loved that T-Pain preserved the history of the fight song. Entertainment industry manager Bernie Yuman, who has been helping Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross partner with celebrities, sported a Dolphins T-Shirt under his jacket and sang the words to the song.

Team officials say T-Pain’s version isn’t replacing the fight song, but that both will be played at games at Land Shark Stadium this season.

Don’t forget, we also will be hearing Jimmy Buffett’s re-written version of his hit Fins that honors the Dolphins. Here’s his debut of that song in May:

I give praise to T-Pan for low,low, low but his revamped verson f he song SUCKS !!!! I have been a dolphin fan since 74 when frst watched foball and this is a joke. Fist they take the team and turn it into a for sale stock item to anyone with money. Now they destroy a semi-reasonable team song and turn it into SHIT!!! What next? They start erforming broadway musicals o he field during away games? Go figure.... But A DIE-HARD Dolphins fan I am, and I'll ride out this storm like many others. Hopefuly the next owner will get us back to the days of glory without the sideshow....

T-pain's version of the song Sux.

Both songs are uninspiring. I agree, a new upbeat song would be perfect. Anyone remember DJ Laz's Miami Dolphins anthem from the early '00's? It was great!

THIS SONG IS AWFUL! BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL! I was at the game last night and I don't wanna hear everyone booing after every TD just because of this lame excuse for a remix and that's exactly what happened every time it was played. THE FIGHT SONG IS A CLASSIC LEAVE IT ALONE!

Just to correct phishface, the fight song isn'rt ripped off from the Houston Oilers. The song was written by a Fin fan for the Dolphins. Robbie didn't want to pay for the song so the guy went and changed it and sold a new version to the Oilers. The original was and is the Dolphin version.

please PLEASE don't play this song. Was at the Dolphins/Jags preseason game last night and they played the new version, everyone BOO'ed. It is horrible!!!

Here's the problem - THE SONG SUCKS AND IT ALWASY HAS, and the idiotic, moronic, assinine traditionalists who hate any change are responsible for this. Most Dolphans desperately want a new song that rocks - a song that sounds like it would inspire a team to fight for supremacy. Something inspiring and menacing at the same time instead of this Sesame Street kids ditty that we ripped off from the Houston Oilers. So, T-Pain, who's "Low, Low, Low" shows us that he could have brought the goods, instead gives us the Kanye pussy version of the same old crappy song. Jimmy Buffet's song is considerably better in that at least it's not that embarassing crapfest we call the Dolphins Fight Song, but nevertheless it's still old and rehashed. What we need is a NEW song all together, performed by a band like Motley Crue (Vince Neal is a DolFan), or Avenged Sevenfold, with a little bit of Big Boi metal rap thrown in. The kind of song the players listen to in the weight room to get pumped

I have been a Dolphins fan since 1974. I feel like I had 20 pine cones shoved up my a$$

Oh sweet Jesus, is that horrible. Listening to this is like having a pine cone shoved up my a**.

it should go away like "New Coke."

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Dear Sarah Talalay,
I can tell you're a writer and not a musician. You wrote he "kept the song’s lyrics and tune in tact." Lyrics yes, tune NO! OK, it basically follows the previous melody but is only about 70% accurate which only makes it annoying! Now you're going to have a mixture of young and old singing the version they each know and make a real mess of things. This new version is TERRIBLE and I hope it just goes away.

I really hope they do not torture us with this auto-tune version of the fight song. There is so much noise pollution at the game already. They should just allow the players and fans to make the noise, not the LOUD speakers. Anyway, if they do decide to play this crap, I will have my earplugs ready.

T-Pain??? Seriously.. thats how you rep our city!? At least get Trick Daddy to do a fight song cause hes a true fan and a true MC!! T-Pain is a fraud and this song BLOWS!!!

Adam S - point well taken. Thanks for correcting me. I clearly don't know an autobox from a .. well, you get the idea. I wouldn't worry about Fins replacing the fight song. This is all a work in progress, obviously... Stay tuned.

This is a great move by the dolphins organization. The team is gradually changing just like the city. Nice way to keep it upbeat. To all the naysayers please just stay off of the comments section. you obviously arent true fans or you would support what they're trying to do for miami.

AFC EAST CHAMPS!! GO FINS!!

That was so bad I turned it off after 20 seconds. GARBAGE!

T-Pains version is awesome. I think he's great too. What a wonderful move by the dolphins. I'm a season ticket holder for 10 years and my kids love him. I'm surprised the dolphins finally made the correct affiliation. Go fins baby

I am a true native Floridian born and raised ….not a newbie.. I have been a fan for years - through the good and not so good times.. we live in a diverse culture, party city…
I think these changes bring about new refreshing fan experience. True to our city... a blend of tradition, mixed with multi cultures can unite us in the stands as well as on the field.

I think the upbeat song is a great… and look forward to a new refreshed look, sound and winning team this year.

Go fins …

Well, let's break it down.

First of all, it is an "autotune" R&B version, not a techno version. :) Just a point of correction.

Secondly, it sucks. If they are going to do an updated fight song with T-Pain, it should at least have a solid beat. It still has the same sing-songy sound to it as the old one.

Didn't mind the old one because it was tradition. But it is a fight song - meaning it should be played after EVERY TD, not in a rotation along with "Fins" which is also too long to be a fight song.

Marketing department needs to do a good job on this.

t-pain sucks... I can't believe that out of all the people they can get to do a song they got this loser. this guy is pimping everyone without auto tune hes nothing. If your trying to market to young people at least get a GOOD rapper
