Stand up and Get Crunk Fires up Who Dat Nation

As I’m sure most of you know (Halftime) Stand Up & Get Crunk has been played throughout the dome this season. It is even being played non-stop on the airwaves of New Orleans. The song began playing in the dome this year after a Saints TD when the kickoff team takes the field. It has become the perfect motivational song for Who Dat fans and Saints players. It’s a fun song and people in the dome go nuts when it is played. The song was even played by the U.S. Marine Corps band before the Cardinals game.

So why has this song become such a hot commodity? Is it only because the Saints have had such a wonderful season? Maybe it’s because it has the lyric’s “Here We Come to Get You” which could refer to the Saints opposing quarterbacks. Or maybe it’s the “If You Haven’t had Enough You Better Hide Yo Lunch Cause We About to Eat That Ass Up!” which could refer to what the Saints have done to most opponents this year.

I don’t know if the exact reason will ever be known. But, I can say this, the song is very catchy and has some wonderful bass to it. It reminds me of one of those songs that you love to hear at a parade. The ones where the St. Aug high school band stops right in front of you and starts to play. I’m sure the Purple Knights will be playing the song alot this parade season.

The song, performed by the crunk rap duo, the Ying Yang Twins, Kaine and D-Roc, was originally released in 2004 on their album “My Brother and Me” under the TVT record label. It was a follow up to their Album “Me and My Brother” which was released in 2003. A Who Dat video version can be found on YouTube.

So what exactly does it mean to get “Crunk”? According to the Urban Dictionary it’s either a combination of the words chronic(marijuana) and drunk or a combination of the words crazy and drunk. NO matter what the word means I’m sure on Superbowl Sunday plenty of Who Dat Nation fans will be getting “Crunk”!
