"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?"
ABC MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL THEME SONG
This song was added to the show in 1989. It is a re-write of
Williams' 1984 song All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight. The show still uses its original theme song as well. As far as I know, these are the first incarnation of the lyrics by Hank Williams, Jr., though the song has changed a bit over the years with the addition of new hosts.
LYRICS
Well it's Monday night and we're ready to rock!
Time to get all the hits, the bangs and the blocks.
It's the game of the week that's comin' your way.
The Dolphins and the Broncos (insert your favorite match here) are ready to play.
We gotta get ready, we gotta get right
Cause Monday Night Football kicks off tonight!
So get ready. I mean, get ready.
Are you ready for some football?!
A Monday night party!
We've got Frank and Al and Dan.*
They're gonna get it kick started.
Lynn* and the crew's all set.
The crowd is psyched.
Cause all my rowdy friends are back on Monday Night!
*Frank Gifford, Al Michaels, & Dan Dierdorf were the hosts of Monday Night Football at the time & Lynn Swann worked the sidelines.
