Argonotes
Argonotes, the unofficial band of the Toronto Argonauts, was an all volunteer organization committed to bringing quality musical entertainment and a "traditional football atmosphere" to all Argonauts home football games. Comprising more than 50 musicians on most game days, Argonotes was the largest musical organization associated with the CFL. In addition to game day duties, the band also stayed active during the off-season by promoting the Argos, Toronto, and the city's pride by taking part in various local events ( Leafs, Raptors, Marlies games, fan festivals, etc.). Occasionally, the band took its show on the road by representing Toronto and its fans in other cities such as Hamilton and Montreal for events such as the 2009 Labour Day Classic and playoff games. The band disbanded during the 2017 CFL season, reportedly due to a conflict with the Argonauts' organization.

Anchors Aweigh
"Anchors Aweigh" is the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and unofficial march song of the United States Navy. It was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. When he composed "Anchors Aweigh", Zimmermann was a lieutenant and had been bandmaster of the United States Naval Academy Band since 1887. Miles was midshipman first class at the academy, in the class of 1907, and had asked Zimmermann to assist him in composing a song for that class, to be used as a football march. Another academy midshipman, Royal Lovell (class of 1926), later wrote what would be adopted into the song as its third verse. Etymology "Weigh anchor" is an old Dutch sailors' expression; it amounts to an order that a ship's anchors be raised. (For a time, Dutch and Flemish phrases dominated sailors' expressions all over the world.) To "weigh anchor" is to bring all anchor(s) aboard the vessel in preparation for departure. In response to the order, the phrase "ancho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Magnificent Seven (song)
"The Magnificent Seven" is a song by the English punk rock band the Clash. Released in 1981, it was the third single from the Clash's fourth album, ''Sandinista!''. It reached number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. Composition The song was inspired by old school hip hop acts from New York City, like the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five. Rap was still a new and emerging music genre at the time, and the band, especially Mick Jones, was very impressed with it, so much so that Jones took to carrying a boombox around and got the nickname "Whack Attack". "The Magnificent Seven" was recorded in April 1980 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, built around a funky bass loop played by Norman Watt-Roy of the Blockheads. Joe Strummer wrote the words on the spot, a technique that was also used to create ''Sandinista!s other rap track, "Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice)". This white rap single is earlier than Blondie's "Rapture" by six months. Strummer said o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
