I woke up this morning with the song "When the Saints Go Marching In" stuck in my head. Now, I'm not sure if it was because the New Orleans Saints marched up and down the field of the Superdome last night beating the Indianapolis Colts 62 -7 on Sunday Night Football. Or, was it that I was sporting this new Fleur De Lis t-shirt.
How awesome is this! The Fleur De Lis is created out of the words to the song "When the Saints Go Marching In."
What a clever way to depict the Fleur de Lis than using the words to a song that is most recognized with the city of New Orleans. In the 1930's, Native New Orleanian, Louis Armstrong, was the first to turn this American gospel hymn into a nationally known pop tune. Today, most people associate the song being played by a jazz band in the New Orleans French Quarter. Also, the song is played during the New Orleans Saints games in the Superdome every time the Saints score a touchdown.
So, come on and get your own Fleur De Lis t-shirt and "go marching in with the Saints"
