Syracuse Football: Taking a Taylor Swift song and giving it a ‘Cuse spin

I’ve decided to try my hand at doing a couple of “hype songs” to lead us up to the Syracuse football 2023 season opener. I’ll try to do a few different genres of music to make more people happy and make them about opponents or whatever the best theme is for the song.

But I’m starting with a Taylor Swift classic because when I first thought of the idea, I had the chorus to this stuck in my head so I’m using it as my first one and I hope you enjoy it.

The original song was called “Our Song” but that made me think of Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers and his “Whose house? Our House!” postgame speech, so I went with that. Here is “Our House.”

A Syracuse football hype song, with an ode to Taylor Swift.

“Our House”

I was scrollin’ Twitter waiting on dinner

In a front booth of a Tully’s

I’ve got a lot of SU tweets of big guys in cleats

And the tweet from @imissericdungey

I look around, she’s counting down

It says “only 26 days left”

I say, “I’m freaking. Was just thinking about that time Coach said “Whose House!”

And I said

Our house is the JMA Wireless Dome

Summer’s almost gone and it’s almost fall

When it’s that time and Cuse is playing football

Cause it’s on TK with Matt Park on the call

Our house can get really loud

The first date, a dome dog and some dome foam

And when it’s over ‘fore I go to Varsity

Asking God when we can play it again

I was watchin’ YouTube highlights of everything that day

Had gone on and saw a catch from Kendall Long

And I was blown away

Then got the Clemson speech video in my head

I couldn’t help but notice and had my focus

The one that said

Our house is the JMA Wireless Dome

Summer’s almost gone and it’s almost fall

When it’s that time and Cuse is playing football

Cause it’s on TK with Matt Park on the call

Our house can get really loud

The first date, a dome dog and some dome foam

And when it’s over ‘fore I go to Varsity

Asking God when we can play it again

I’ve heard every touchdown, listened to every 3rd down call

Waiting for the train sound to come on

That would make our house loud

Cause our house is the JMA Wireless Dome

Summer’s almost gone and it’s almost fall

When it’s that time and Cuse is playing football

Cause it’s on TK with Matt Park on the call

Our house can get really loud

The first date, a dome dog and some dome foam

And when it’s over ‘fore I go to Varsity

Asking God when we can play it again

Whose house

Our house

I was riding shotgun with my 44 jersey undone

In front seat of the Cuse trolley

I rode by the Dome said that’s our home

And wrote about our house
