T-Pain revamps (ruins?) Dolphins fight song

When the Miami Dolphins revealed the 2010 cheerleaders swimsuit calendar, they also revealed something that will polarize Dol-fans for years to come: A remake of the fight song.

You know it: "Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins number one." Anybody who has lived in Miami for at least a few years is sure to know the song. But in an attempt to appeal to younger crowds, the song was remade by T-Pain.

The Tallahassee-based singer, rapper and producer, known for his extensive use of the robotic sounding Auto-Tune vocoder, sings the song over marching band drums and upbeat synthesizers.

Listen to it for yourself:

Dol-fans, what do you think? Is this a great way to keep younger fans interested, or is it blasphemy?

Not bad, but it'd be better if he were "ridin' on a dolphin." :)

Will T-Pain now do a medley of "I'm On A Boat" and the Dolphins fight song at shows?

Sounds too cartoony. Get Pit Bull to do another version

[Joel]

Actually not as bad as I expected. That little synth needs to be re-done tho, that's pretty bad. I guess it's not any more corny than the original. But I'm sure there's going to be a lot of old Dol-fans upset.

[Gabriel Halley]

At the very least, I like that they're trying to update it. The old version doesn't even resemble Miami anymore.

lol sounds like a power 96 christmas song

[David G. Smith]

Yikes, too much synthesized voice action. I was hoping for something a little more rugged.
