I'd like to see (and hear) the Argonauts fight song played on the video board after each touchdown - well, after the fireworks after a touchdown anyway.
They do that in Chicago at Bears games and the crowd sings along.
I like that tradition - kind of a unifying element for the team/fans.

Now, they should also record a more modern version of that song to replace the current 1950s version though.

They did that for a few seasons, but seemed to have stopped the last couple of years.

I have three old Argo songs on an old cassette tape I quickly tossed in my old stereo back in 82 when a station played them leading up to the 1982 Grey Cup. Best line of the bunch, When the Tiger Tail is caught, tie it up in Argonaut. I think that's correct.

Just found the old tape and gave it a listen. First song would be Dal Richards just about football. Then Dal's Argo song which sounds crappy at the start as I must have been screwing with my tape deck. That sound funny all these years later. Then Luv Them Argos gets played. This song is GREAT and must have been done in the 60's or 70's. The lines in this song are killer. The one mentioned above plus, Workin after dark down at Exhibition Park. This song needs to get played at games at BMO. Another line is, We know them all by name cause we watch them every game.

Wow! I would love to get a copy of those. I have the ability to digitize audio recorded on cassette. If you would be willing to lend me the tape I will make you digital copies of the songs. PM me if interested. Tnx!

I also want that. But I would be happy to stick to the great old tune (written and recorded by the legendary Dal Richards) and even better the team could record and show a version played by the Argonotes.

Sit closer to the band and you can hear "Go Argos Go", 2015 version, performed live after each touchdown! :-) Once upon a time we were even mic'd up and everybody could hear us play after the scores. (thank you Keith Pelley, that was his idea.)

Here's hoping for a different setup next year.

Dal, incidentally, is 97 years old and still going strong in Vancouver leading his big band. A real CFL legend who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. (An autographed copy of his "CFL Songs" album IS in the hall of fame, though. I made sure of that.)

Last year my wife took me to Vancouver for my birthday, for a surprise. I had no idea why. We sat down in a restaurant somewhere and IN WALKED DAL RICHARDS to have lunch with us. That was amazing. I'm sure you have different CFL heroes than I do, but that was a dream come true.

Dal ran the BC Lions band in the 1950s and recorded the "CFL Songs" album in 1968, and we still hear those recordings in many CFL stadia today. "Roar You Lions Roar"? That was Dal's band. "Hit 'em Again ye Men of Calgary?" Dal."On Roughriders"? That "Fight Fight Fight On Eskimos" one? That's from his album too. And "Go Argos Go", of course.

That's amazing. I'm still looking for that record. They pop up on ebay from time to time but ain't cheap.

Well I happen to know there's a copy in the Hall of Fame!

At last, Dal Richards in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Thank you, Andrea and the @CFHOF! pic.twitter.com/RqIFzbkbVQ

No, he speaks into a machine that makes his voice sound more clear.

Whatever he is doing a lot of people seem to like it.

Because he is marketed to succeed....Just like Milli Vanilli was.

Maybe the Argonauts should hire that marketing team.

Works for Taylor Swift as well.

Adele has the voice of an angel IMO (along with Celine Dion, Amy Lee and Sia), though I'm not sure how much of a sell they'd be to the CFL crowd.

It works for a lot of artists. Music and image go hand in hand, it's been like that for a long time. I don't know what the majority of CFL fans prefer but my taste in music is all over the place. I like everything from 40's jazz, to some Drake, to score music from films. Adele's Skyfall is probably my favourite Bond theme. I also went to a Celine Dion concert with the ex and she didn't have to drag me. To each their own, enjoy what you like.

Really? I had no idea.

I just want them to play Love Them Argos and the Argo song by Dal Richards. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE MAINSTREAM GARBAGE that I don't want to hear anywhere. Have the Argonotes play as well. Crowd noise, Argonotes and cool old CFL songs. If they must have crap at halftime.

It's dark and raining like stink here and I keep thinking of BMO. Could be some real crap games in the fall there.
