Let's Sing About Detroit!

[wolverine]

Listen to the Song

Sing:

t's closer than you think

It's what you're searchin for

And like a river runs, there's always something more

There's nations coming together where the Spirit flies

So many songs we sang

So many games we played

And where the past left off, we still embrace today

With the heart of a champion and a hero's pride

Chorus:

And now we're letting you know

So get ready to go

It's all happening here--right here in the D

There's something you need to hear about Detroit City

You just gotta be here - to truly believe

What's it's Like in the D

What it's like in the D

It's everywhere you look

In everything you see

A conscience so complete, a heritage so deep

And no one can resist when Smokey sings

Chorus:

And now we're letting you know.

The reason behind this song:

THE DETROIT NEWS

Your opinions??

[Aaron]

I'm all for city pride and all, but that's cheesier than 90% of everything that came from speakers in the 80s. It's probably right up there with "The Final Countdown" or "Eye of the Tiger."

[peaceloveunderstanding]

I agree, difinently high in cheese.

People ride the people mover?

Just kidding, i used to use the thing everyday when I worked downtown.

[Allan]

LOL. I only ride it in the winter. In the summer I'd rather walk, since it's nice out.

[Dethome]

WOW!!! That SUCKS!!!!

[dnast]

Detroit can't do anything right.

The song had its unofficial debut at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., in February, where officials played it for national sports media attending the game.

I'm sure it got them really excited to come to the one in Detroit, LOL. They should have handed out CDs, too.

[Dethome]

You would think with all of the talent coming from Detroit that they could come up with something better.

[SouthJersey7]

They should play some MC5, Grand Funk, Iggy Pop, um... Madonna?!

[detroitfan]

Your typical promo song catchy but cheesy. If they had video for it, it'd be a lot better.
