A ‘Brand New Song’ for the ‘Brand New Lions': Radio Host Records New Hype Song

Last year, we got into a discussion on our show about how the Detroit Lions are moving into a new era. The "Same Old Lions" are now in the past, and we're entering into the "Brand New Lions" stage of this franchise. As such, there are certain things that should probably be left in the past.

Part of that "Same Old Lions" era is the same, tired Fight Song that sounds like it was written on some guy's Casio Keyboard in his dorm room. Apologies Lions fans, I know you love your nostalgia... but it's time for a change, and I've got the perfect replacement.

I was told by one of our co-workers that TRUE Lions fans "wear our losses like a badge of honor," and that just made me sad.

I didn't grow up a Lions fan, and they still aren't my primary team, but at the same time, I have adopted them as my new hometown hype train. That being said, it's hard to love a team that, despite its foray into a new era, the fans are still clinging to the past, which hasn't been that great historically.

The point of being a fan is to celebrate the wins, and bring the fun and high energy! This thing... not doin' it in the modern era....

SO, Lions fans, I have taken it upon myself to record something special for you, and I genuinely hope you like it. This is my dedication to the 2024 Lions, in hopes that you do, FINALLY, get what you've been waiting for since the team was formed.

I can't take all the credit. The original idea came from Lions fan Tim Offerle, who sent us a video of him performing a stripped down, acappella version in the concourse of Ford Field following a game. It was his words that inspired me to record this to Piano Man.

Nonetheless, it's gonna be a fun ride this year, and the Lions are gonna be a ton of fun to watch.
