Time for an Updated Steelers Fight Song
Taking my cue from Cynthia Closkey:
" 'With nothing to play for, Steelers show they have everything'
'This game says a lot about our team,' said Ward. 'We really didn't have that much to play for, and they had everything to play for. We started with our starters, and our backups came in, and there was no dropoff. And that's been the case all year.'
That depth is only another reason to embrace this club going into the playoffs. They're a league-best 15-1, the best record in franchise history; they have the home-field advantage through the playoffs; and they beat the No. 2 seed in the AFC, New England, and the NFC's top dog, Philadelphia, in successive weeks. Plus, they're rolling, not having lost since the second weekend of the year.
'This is probably the best team I've been on,' said Ward. 'We don't really care who gets the accolades or success. We just believe in one another.'
OK, I think we're ready for someone to write new lyrics to the fight song now."

Da-Da-Da-Da-Ta-Da - Charge!For more on the song, please see this post from Cindy.
We're from the town with that great football team,
We cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Coach Bill and all his friends are all on the field.
Go out and get them Steelers.
Big Ben, and Burress, the Duce, Bus and Hines,
We love you Pittsburgh Steelers.
It's been many years in coming,
just keep that Steelers machinery humming
Defense, Defense, make them scramble, intercept that ball.
Defense, Defense, keeps the Steelers always best of all!
Po-La-Ma-Lu, do your thing against the other team,
You start from year to year, we're so glad you play here,
Now join with me, and sing the Steelers cheer-er-ER!
We're from the town with that great football team,
We cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Winning's a habit, not only a dream,
Go out and get them Steelers!
Porter and Farrior are here for the show,
and so is Big Ben's Army,
It's been many years in coming,
just keep that Steelers machinery humming.
Offense, Offense, take that football whole way up the field!
Offense, Offense, let's score and score and never ever yield!
Bus, Duce, Bus, Duce, can you believe we have a running game?
The Steelers are so great, and so hard to overrate,
Good things, will come, to those who work and wait.
Charge!
