Country Bengals Tribute

[Turk88]

I have heard this song alot and keep meaning to post something about it.....

(Nashville, Tennessee) - January 30, 2007 - Rockin' Country duo Montgomery Gentry have recorded close to 60 songs on their five Columbia Records studio albums, but they have never done over 80 versions of one song.until now. Their new single "Lucky Man" has been edited with 81 different college and professional sports teams in over 60 markets, and each version has been serviced to the country radio station in those cities.
The second line of the song reads "Last Sunday when my Bengals lost, Lord it put me in a bad mood." In the edited versions, Montgomery Gentry replaced "Bengals" with every team in the NFL and Major League Baseball, several from the National Hockey League and numerous colleges.
In a move to spur a little extra competition between the two Super Bowl cities, the Colts version was sent to the country radio station US99 in Chicago, and the Bears version was sent to WFMS in Indianapolis.
"This is probably my favorite song on the whole album," said Eddie Montgomery. "T-Roy and I both grew up in Lexington, so we saw plenty of bad Bengals years - definitely a few good ones, but a lot of bad ones."
"Yeah, and this song really lent itself to plugging other teams in there," added Troy Gentry. "Every team has bad seasons just like we have good and bad seasons in our life. You just have to appreciate whatever you're going through - good or bad."
In addition to the major league teams, college versions of "Lucky Man" include:
Alabama Crimson Tide
Arizona Wildcats
Arkansas Razorbacks
Boston College Eagles
Clemson Tigers
Duke University Blue Devils
Florida Gators
Florida State Seminoles
Georgia Bulldogs
Kansas Jayhawks
Kentucky Wildcats
Louisville Cardinals
LSU Tigers
Miami Hurricanes
Michigan Wolverines
New Mexico Lobos
Nevada- Las Vegas Running Rebels
North Carolina Tar Heels
Ohio State Buckeyes
Oklahoma Sooners
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
South Carolina Gamecocks
Tennessee Volunteers
Texas Longhorns
USC Trojans
Utah Utes
Wake Forest Deacons
Wisconsin Badgers

[:O] No Way!!!! Just put your radio on the Rebel 105.9 and wait about 30 minutes.....you'll hear it! Even my friend in Colorado called and sang it to me. I love it!!!! But this year we'll have to change it to "last Sunday when my Bengals won, man, it put me in a good mood". Okay, I am a dork.[8-|].

OK Turk, so I am driving home from having drinks with Angela after picking her up at the airport, only to pull into my driveway and the song starts! How cool is that? So, I typically have talk radio on during the day with all the driving I do, but I turn it to music at night. That is really a cool song. Has it been out very long??

I see at the beginning of this thread that it came out in January.....my bad! That's what happends when you drink and post!
Glad they are playing the original Bengals around here instead of trying to shove that classless team from the north down our throats!
