Pittsburgh Steelers Polka Fight Songs, 2011 and More, and Myron Cope Himself, and The Terrible Towel (Videos)


Park Forest qua Pittsburgh-(ENEWSPF)- I spent minutes and minutes on YouTube to bring you this impeccable collection of Steeler Fight Songs, 2011 edition. Then, there are a few blasts from the past.

Enjoy, and thanks to all the artists out there in Steeler Nation cheering for the Black and Gold!

The first is by the Trel-Tones:

Next, my personal favorite, from Gene the Werewolf (and, from my perch out here in Park Forest, Illinois, I have no idea who that is. "Yoi! Double Yoi!"):

Here’s a blast from "that 70’s" past:

And, of course, the original Steelers fight song written by Jimmy Psihoulis in 1973 (words below):

We’re from the town with the great football team, we cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers!
Winning’s a habit, not only a dream, go out and get them Steelers!
Gerela’s Gorillas are here for the show, and so is Franco’s Army
It’s been forty years in coming, just hear the Steeler Machinery humming!

Defense, defense – make them scramble – intercept the ball!
Defense, defense – blitz them, drive them up against the wall!
Franco, Franco – look at that we got a running game
He’s rookie of the year, we’re so glad he’s playing here!
Now join with me, and sing our Steeler cheer!

We’re from the town with the great football team, we cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers!
Winning’s a habit, not only a dream, go out and get them Steelers!
Gerela’s Gorillas are here for the show, and so is Frenchy’s Legion
It’s been forty years in coming, just hear the Steeler Machinery humming!

Defense, defense – make that tackle – intercept the ball!
Defense, defense – Mean Joe Greene will run them up a wall!
Franco, Franco – can you believe that have a running game?
He’s thousand yards were great, he’s so hard to over rate,
Good things still come, to those that sit and wait! – Hey!

Finally, as an added bonus, the story of The Terrible Towel, as told by the master and creator, Myron Cope:
