Some of the pictures need to be better quality.

Can you provide the lyrics, please?

He was pretty clear - he wants us to judge the song, not the slide show.

Let me know what you think.

Certainly better than anything I could come up with, but that said.... I'm no fan of an Oklahoma song that starts with what reminds me of Cow Bells (I'd like to avoid stereotypes). Also, I guess I'm okay with referring to Oklahoma as "the loud city" if the song is simply meant to be played in the arena and not to the general public on the radio. If so, then I'd like to hear shorter versions that could be played during brief break in the action (like 10 and 15 second clips). Also, it just faded off, I'd like to hear it wrapped up and ended. But, the beats not bad.

Just my totally uneducated, unqualified opinion.

There was more after the cow bells? I admit I dinna stick around to find out. Even though I figure I'm about as country as one can be and still enjoy this board, the cow bells were a tad too much, even for me.

Yea, when we recorded this, we used a chinese kit at the start of the song which I wasn't fond of. My idea of this songs was to be played during breaks in the arena. That was the first video I have ever made, so I used some program that youtube offered. The pics weren't blurry when I picked them and there is an ending which is the best part, but the program fades it out to show it's logo. Not sure how to fix it. And the lyrics are:

Oklahoma City, the Loud City
Come on everybody tell them, tell them
Your under the Thunder
We go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom on ya

This song is being sung to the opposing team. Just something I came up with to have besides "Thunderstruck". Music is subjective and I understand it's not for everyone, but I envisioned it as a large crowd signing it. Thanks for the input guys.
