buffalonian Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) When the Bills win and my brother and I are not at the stadium, we often smoke a cigar on the porch and have a drink or two while listening to a playlist that I made of songs that reference Buffalo. All of the songs either directly mention Buffalo, or in some cases, were written and/ or performed by someone from the greater Buffalo area. The playlist has grown over time and has become a cool soundtrack that now accompanies memories of almost a half-century of rabidly cheering on the Bills. More than that, the music and other Bills game rituals seem to connect us with family, the great city of Buffalo, and fellow Bills fans, wherever they might be. It would be great to hear about other post-Bills victory rituals from you all, and any other song suggestions. In the meantime, here is the playlist which I have saved on spotify. Enjoy and Go Bills!

BillsFanNC Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 A few more Buffalo songs for you. The first one by Kathleen Edwards "Buffalo" The summer months left me alone But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm In the night, you and I drove Have you ever seen lightning and snow? And up ahead the roads were closed And the Gennys ran most of Buffalo The customs man at border patrol Said, "Yes, you can go, but you won't make it home" Next a deep cut from a band from my neck of the woods, Southern Culture on the Skids from Chapel Hill, NC with "The Fly That Rode From Buffalo" The fly that rode from Buffalo he got in at Albany Flew around the van lookin for a place to land and landed on the drummers knee The drummer gave a swat and air is all he got that fly's too quick for me Was the fly that rode from Buffalo he got in at Albany The Church. "Buffalo" Snow came up Friday, I gotta go Spending winter up in Buffalo Someone I met there is calling me so You've got to escape the blues man, don't you know This last one doesn't specifically mention Buffalo, but is about playing a less than desirable gig at the Erie County fair. On this useless night With you so far away I stand in front of this ferris wheel And I wonder what am I doing here And I wonder what am I doing here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
