Stephen Ross Clearly Doesn’t Own The Blueprint 3

The Dolphins are continuing their concerted effort to make their brand “cool” … indeed.

Adding to their staple of joke artists involved with the team, Stephen Ross has added T-Pain (who might or might not realize he was being joked on in I’m On a Boat) to their pantheon of all-time washout musicians.

As MJD put it on Shutdown Corner:

Wow. Someone didn’t get the memo.

Well said (and linked). Auto-Tune wasn’t even cool when it started to creep into music more than ten years ago, and now it’s barely worth joking on … it’s used in a Wendy’s ad, for crap’s sake.

Much like the funny Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video, I could imagine that T-Pain was paid millions of dollars to come up with a Dolphins fight song and who himself spent four dollars for a Casio keyboard off Craigslist and then used his Auto-Tune software to revamp the rather campy Dolphins fight song.

Well guess what? It’s probably worse now.  At least the old version has some “camp cred” associated with it because it was dated.  Now they’ve updated their song with a now defunct fad. Keep up the solid efforts Mr. Ross like using T-Pain and adding pop contempto art to your stadium walls.  As long as you keep focusing on the wrong stuff, I’ll be happy you own the Dolphins.

Can we get Woody to make Jay-Z pull together a rap-battle reply for the Jets?

    to be fair … BBP uses Auto-Tune pretty extensively … sigh …

    I’m embarrassed for them.

    I thought Miami had smoking hot women?

    I hate the Dolphins as much as the next guy, but seriously… cheese music aside, their owner has Parcells, ours has Tannenbaum. Where football competence is concerned, we’re at the bottom of our division.

    bernie how quickly you forget Terry Bradway.

    Jay-Z announced the Death of Auto Tune like 3 months ago. T-Pain is behind the curve.

    This reminds me of being at family parties, when your parents get a few wine coolers in them and start to dance, and you just have to look away and shake your head.

    This is the second time I’ve attempted to listen to the entire Miami Dolphin “fight” song. I just can’t do it.

  11. avatar Dan in OK says:

    NO BBP!!! Literally the worst music that has EVER been created. In fact its not even music. Just like Bassett says, its pretty much all auto-tune. For me to never hear that horrible song again would be like the jets winning five straight superbowls. Sorry cant stand that crap.

    that is and will always be the Houston Oiler’s fight song…

    Pathetic

  14. avatar Pete57 says:

    Bernie, a little harsh, don’t you think? You put Belicheck and Parcells in ANY division and they immediately become 1 and 1a in football knowledge. But, you really place the Bills ahead of us in FO personnel and coaching staff? Not close. Please check that again.

    Bernie dont know crap. BTW whats up the wet arm pits under the chicks (see old chick with polo shirt) not a good representation of MIA chicks

  16. avatar Bent says:

    I think someone at the Dolphins misinterpreted reports that their fans couldn’t wait for some camp.

    die-hard jets fan here who (unfortunately) lives among the fair weather fins fans in SoFla. with the additions of jimmy buffet, the estefans, marc anthony and now pitbull and t-pain, it’s safe to bet your entire life savings on hanson and kenny g being the next two music acts to jump on the douchefins ship.

    i’ll see y’all in margaritaville stadium week 5 as we take over their entire stadium yet again and win for the 10th time in 13 games against miami!

    The Jets fight song needs to be “Alll Nightmare Long” by Metallica….Defense will “hunt you down without mercy…” and be a nigtmare for opposing offenses
