Marv Levy singing the Bills fight song he wrote titled "Go Bills"

[Logic]

Count me as one who never knew this existed....
 

 

[Freddie's Dead]

This was done on a bet.  I forget the game, but Marv said if they won, he'd write a fight song, and he did.  Many here have denigrated the song in the past, but being a musician and frustrated song writer, it's a pretty good fight song.  I wish anything I ever wrote was as good.  

[Marv's Neighbor]

Love Marv, but Marv, don't quit your day job!  This is just pitiful.

[Albany,n.y.]

The best reaction I saw was a letter in the BN sports section the following Sunday that said: Marv to Bills "Win or I'll sing again"

[Beast]

Could have taken a verse or two and put it to band music and it could have been our "Hail to the Redskins" and got rid of the Shout song.

[Matt_In_NH]

Great man!

[Tisker A Tasker]

Say what you want, but its better than the Vikings song written by Prince!

Best motivation ever

And it was at that moment that Bob Dylan knew he was going to pass on Marv's offer to write a song for his next album.

You must be pretty young then.  I remember this video kind of went “viral.”  It was kind of absurd even for the 1990’s and was picked up by outlets like Sportscenter etc

There was a marching band arrangement that was used for a commercial.

It still beats:

 

[Ralonzo]

Someone go get Shout back. Quick.

The good old days of the Empire Sports Network

Wgr played this a few times during the season last year. Love Marv, but everytime I hear it, it makes me cringe. It's so terrible, but at the same time that's what makes it great 

[machine gun kelly]

This was as bad as Talking Proud.  Sad the youngins have no idea what I’m saying.  That was the Joe Cribbs era.  Love that Marv was willing to do it.  Not that it sounded good as it didn’t. At least he was a good sport.

 

Id rather hear his mini speeches, where would you want to be, etc.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Mr. Marv Levy was and still is one of a kind!

The Jambrones did a remake of this a few years back. It's on YouTube

I immediately thought the same thing, "you must be young". That lost bet was everywhere for years following the performance. Pretty sure it was even the theme song of the old Marv Levy Show.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

This has been discussed on the board frequently and is a fun part of Bills history. I'm shocked that folks haven't heard of it.

 

Makes me wonder if people think I am making it up when I post the lyrics in pregame threads.
