You can tell that this song was written in the '70's

[OrangesAtHalftime]

Yep. And to those of us who grew up hearing it blasted over the speakers at the Kingdome in the NASL days, it still stirs the soul.

Go to a sounders game and see how well the band idea actually works. Until you have done that your opinion is worthless

I want to hurt the guy blowing the plastic horn in the background.

@MrGman2022 Tulsa Roughnecks FTW!

@explodingnipple This is why I like the current MLS expansion strategy of promoting old USL/NASL clubs that played back in the old NASL (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Montreal). Bring in a team that already has a well established tradition and fan base behing it.

Wow... flashback. For a brief moment I was four years old and in the Kingdome again.

@danielshorter

very true, it sounding really wierd watching you guys on tv in the playoffs.  You have the largest supporters group in the MLS and cover it up with this.

@wdgarraway Thank you! Your comment caused a long dormant brain cell to fire up. It was one of Bud's immortal Olympic documentaries. 1972?

@OrangesAtHalftime .On KVI. When my friend and I took our seats at the opener at Qwest and I heard this song, I had to pretend to yawn so I could explain away the tears in my eyes. Same as hearing the 'Exploration Northwest' theme after so many years. Btw, wdgarraway's comment is correct.

[wdgarraway]

Actually the real title is "Salute to the Olympians"

A song written by Henry Mancini

[danielshorter]

keep the marching bands out of the mls, its annoying as hell to try to watch a sounder's game with those guys playing their rendition of knights of cydonia every 15 minutes

also, the guy who plays all the high notes doesn't move at all... and he terribly resembles bobby hill from that one show.
