Dixieland Delight

There was a legend in the stands able to hear people scream his song to the rooftop for the very first time.

For fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide, not much can beat the feeling when "Dixieland Delight" blasts through the speakers at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Coleman Coliseum or any other venue and thousands of screaming fans join along in their rendition of the popular chorus, maybe other than the win preceding it. ...

Alabama fans have been lobbying to hear Dixieland Delight played during games again, but this is not what they had in mind.

Alabama's new athletic director Greg Byrne hasn't been on campus two months but fans and listeners can't keep from asking about a song that used to play at football games.

The music in Bryant-Denny Stadium has gotten nearly as much attention as the football in recent weeks. First it was the addition of C-Murder to the in-game rotation and that was followed by the rumor that Dixieland Delight would get banned.

It's a staple at every Alabama home football game. The most anticipated song on a fall Saturday in Tuscaloosa, save for "Sweet Home Alabama."
