    and the version we play now - http://argonotes.com/GAG.mp3
    and a songsheet with the lyrics- http://argonotes.com/Songsheet.pdf

    and for completeness since you mentioned it, here's "Fly Eagles Fly", one of the better NFL songs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b97wo2Ekww


    (The band has been playing Go Argos Go a dozen times a game for 20 years, before and after the game and after every score, but nobody can hear it and the team always seems to have other ideas about touchdown celebrations, but we'll keep trying.)
    I REALLY wish the Argonauts would establish the tradition of playing the team fight song after touchdowns.
    I've attended a few Bears games in Chicago and they do that, and it's awesome having the entire stadium singing "Bear Down" as the music is played on the speakers and the lyrics flash on the video board. (I find the Bears song much better than the Eagles song btw.)

    The Buffalo Bills do the same thing, but their "The Bills Make Me Want to Shout" song is kind of weak.

    I think it would be cool to have the Argonotes record the Argonauts fight song with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra - a video at Roy Thomson Hall with the Argonotes in full regalia in front of the TSO.

    I'm partial to the SKOL VIKINGS song, but then again I'm probably a bit biased in that department.
