U.S. Marines Salute New Orleans Saints with Crunk Song

The streets of New Orleans were lined up by fans to view the Super Bowl XLIV parade, for the NFL’s New Orleans Saints victory. A salute was made to America’s number one team with the Star Spangle Banner. Performed by Irvin Mayfield, a native New Orleans son and ambassador of Jazz, accompanied by the United States Marines.

As with many musicians, there’s a bit of a personal twist to their rendition of the song. However, the greatest surprise didn’t come from the soloist, Mayfield. Surprisingly, the U.S. Marines broke their traditional rank to get down with New Orleans Saints adopted crunk song “Stand Up & Get Crunk” “Here We Comin To Get You” Originally performed by the Ying Yang Twins “My Brother & Me’ “ Homebwoi”. who played their version right after the Marines, giving the audience a double dose of "Crunk"

Crunk songs are usually high-pitched and drum-heavy. They often employ repetitive, catchy refrains that make it fun and easy for crunk fans to chant along. You can best believe that anything crunk coming out New Orleans is sure to be drum heavy, with the rhythmatic of Second Line Jazz, Hip hop, and marching band jump to it.

[Chorus: Ying Yang Twins]
Tell 'em how we gonna come (CRUNK)
Tell 'em why they don't want none (CRUNK)
Tell 'em why they better run (CRUNK)
CRUNK CRUNK crunk
Stand up and get crunk (CRUNK)
Stand up and get crunk (CRUNK)

[Hook: Ying Yang TWins]
Here we come to get you (you better get crunk)
Here we come to get you (a little bit more crunk)
Here we come to get you (you better get crunk)
Here we come to get you (a little bit more crunk)
