Drew Brees Chant 2009 to 2010

People keep asking me the following questions:
1.  What are the words to the New Orleans Saints chant 2009?
2.  Do you know what the Drew Brees chant words are about?  
3.  Is the Drew Brees chant 2009 available to buy on CD anywhere?
4.  Does my bum look big in this?  Err... OK actually that one is private but the rest are public.

Drew Brees Chant 2009 in action

So I've compiled a bunch of Drew Brees chant videos I found for all those who keep asking what the great New Orleans Saints chant of 2009 is all about and in order to give you a definitive answer to each of these questions.

1.  What are the words to the New Orleans Saints chant 2009?

As you see from Darren Sharpers response in that first video they appear to be saying:
One For You
Two For You
Three Four Some More
Five Six For Kicks
Seven Eight Its Great
Nine Ten Again Again Again

When you watch it back I'm not so sure Mr Sharper is on the money there.  Maybe the 13 year veteran ace is having hearing problems in his old age...  Although clearly it's not affecting his play so we'll let him off.

Here is what the majority of Saints fans believe to be the Drew Brees chant words (NB. Since orignally writing this post Brees has confirmed these are the words to his chant as can be seen in the video below filmed in Lucy's bar following the Saints Super Bowl parade):

Brees: 1; Chorus: 2
Brees: Win; Chorus: For You
Brees: 3; Chorus: 4
Brees: Win; Chorus: Some More
Brees: 5; Chorus: 6
Brees: Win; Chorus: For Kicks
Brees: 7; Chorus: 8
Brees: Win; Chorus: It's Great
Brees: 9; Chorus: 10
Brees: Win; Chorus: Again
All: Again, Again, Again, Again!

2.  Do you know what the Drew Brees chant words are about? 

Drew Brees is pretty secretive about the chant words although we do know he picked up the feel for it following a visit to the Marines at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  He's followed their methodology of Core, Unit, God, Country to their logical extreme by instilling the same virtues of commitment to the shared brotherhood of the Saints team unit.  So far it seems to be an inspired choice!

3.  Is the Drew Brees chant 2009 available to buy on CD anywhere?

Not that I know of.

4.  Does my bum look big in this? 

If you are a guy I advise you never to answer that question.  You cannot win no matter what you say... Although if your girl is a big enough Saints fan you might just get away with it you recite the Drew Brees chant lyrics to her.  Actually I'm being told over my shoulder to get real as I type this so maybe best to avoid Falconer dating tips for now.  Looks I'll be buying my girl a new pair of havaianas flip flops for that indiscretion!

And that's it I think.

Drew Brees Who Are We Chant

We Are New Orleans!  The Drew Brees chant to success.

Drew Brees certainly has a way with words.  The 'Who Are We' chant is now infamous around the NFL for its intensity and passion.  It is the rallying call around which the team flocks pre-game and is now synonymous with the Saints winning formula.

So what makes it so special and just what exactly is Drew Brees chanting?

Drew Brees Who Are We chant

Reading through a number of Saints forums it is clear there is a lot of conjecture firstly about what he is actually saying and, equally, the importance of the chant in setting the tone for the teams display.

What is being said in the Drew Brees Who Are We chant?

On the Yahoo answers board one post positively claims it is:

One two win, for you,

Three, four, win, some more,

Five, six, win again,

7, 8, win again,

9, 10, win again, win again, win again...

Over at TiggerDroppings.com the Drew Brees chant words are said to be:

Brees: 1 Players: 2
Brees: Win, Players: For You
Brees: 3 Players: 4
Brees: Win, Players: Some More
Brees: 5 Players: 6
Brees: Win, Players: Again
Brees: 7 Players: 8
Brees: Win, Players: Great
Brees: 9 Players: 10
Brees: Win, Players: Again
All: Again, Again, Again, Again!

Elsewhere there are further conflicting suggestions. Whichever is the correct answer (and you can make your mind up by watching the above video) it is clear it has the desired effect of motivating the team before kick off.  The fact that the Saints Quarterback is the man in the middle of that huddle tells you a great deal about Brees' leadership qualities and his work ethic.

New Orleans Saints Chant Drew Brees Name With Pride

Not for him the stand offish Quarterback pose adopted by the likes of Jeff George or the egotistical wittering of the deluded (Michael Vick - “The next year will be about being the face of the NFL for the next 10 years").  Instead Brees leads the team by example with his season long preparation work, film study and practise.  His pre match rallying call and his skilful command of the team on the field are the culmination of months of work and dedication at the Saints practise facilities.

Now that may all sound like some awfully sycophantic babble and for that I apologise.  But I for one am happy to applaud any player in this age who so clearly wears his heart on his sleeve and is prepared to work year round to deliver success to the great city of New Orleans.  When peoples homes are being foreclosed, when jobs are being shed and when every day folk are struggling to make ends meet it comes as some relief to at least be able to follow a team made up of undrafted rejects and free agents and all led by a man of great quality and humility.  I salute you Drew Brees and Who We Are... New Orleans!!
