Thread: I Love Elway! We Love Him!

This morning I was listening to Sirius/XM NFL just like pretty much every day during the football season, and a caller got Mike Nolan and Jeff Rickard to talking Broncos, and the trade of Cutler & letting Osweiler go in free agency, which inevitably turned the conversation to Elway. Nolan had high, high praise for Elway's handling of the team.

So, Rickard asks, "Is there any other city, besides maybe San Francisco, who so strongly identifies with one star athlete?" A fun topic in it's own right, but he mentioned that growing up in Denver that during the 1987 season, in which Elway had his first trip to the SB, a parody was made of the old Randy Newman song, "I Love L.A.", named "I Love Elway".

Now I was a huge fan already at age 13, but growing up in Western Kansas, missed seeing this because it was on local, Denver television. So, I hunted it down. Maybe someone else has a better version, but this is great!

I remember the "I Love Elway" song. Same with the "Three Amigos".

I forgot about that one. There was a "Going to Pasadena" one to.

Lol. That's awesome.

Jr High, I remember that and the Pasadena song being on the radio a lot.

Stop lying. You're a bit too young to remember that.

Remember that video very well!

I also remember the song done by Jon Keyworth (RB) in 1977, when we made our first Superbowl!

That's a much better boy toy!

This was the year that I ran up and down our street with my mom's car window sun blocker. Those old things that folded up and had a picture. My mom had a Broncos one and when we won the AFC Championship game I grabbed it out of her car and was running up and down the street with it.

Man, that is terrible.

What was the "Pasadena" song? Is that anywhere?

That was good too. Loved the adjusting the VCR tracking in the beginning. Haven't seen that in a long time.

Never heard "We're going to Pasadena" before. That goes in the category of forgotten sports songs like the one a local Minnesota station did 12 years later before their loss to the Falcons (it was a take on Will Smith's Going to Miami).
