The other day we had a song contest on Facebook because I was so giddy about the recent developments in the Minnesota Vikings quest for a new stadium. Our contest was to select a song to commemorate the Minnesota Legislature passing the Minnesota Vikings stadium bill in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A new stadium is a celebratory occasion and we needed a good celebratory song. But we got a lot of good songs, so, as I'm wont to do, I changed my mind and decided to compile all the songs into an ultimate Vikings stadium party mix.
I present to you a selection of music chosen for you chosen by your fellow Vikings fans. May you crank some of these tunes while Governor Mark Dayton signs the stadium bill. If you think you have a song that needs to be added to the play list, then put a link in the comments. Enjoy!
Track 1
What Vikings play list would be worth its salt if it didn't include "Skol Vikings"? That's why we are starting off this play list with a song we hope we'll sing many, many times in a new stadium.
"Skol Vikings"

*Here's your obligatory warning that this song has some gratuitous profanity. If there's an F-bomb in the title, it's a hint that there are going to be a few of them in the song.
