Sorry if this has been discussed many times before.

 

How and when did we first sing the Ring of Fire tune?

with singing of the words

 

Love Is A Burning Thing

And It Makes A Fiery Ring.......

Goes back a bit further than 2005 doesn't it? Though that was the season it really took hold.

 

Has been sung at away games for a little while I think.

 

Isn't the story something like the lads on one of the coaches took it in turns to put together mix tapes to play on the way to the game and one week one of them had Ring of Fire on there and it just caught on?

 

Sure others will give more detail...

And Cowboy Jack Clement wrote the horn riff that we sing.

 

One of Clement?s closest pals at Sun Records was Johnny Cash, who recorded many of Clement?s tunes. When Cash had a dream where he heard mariachi on "Ring of Fire," Clement was called into arrange the famous horn part. "I said, ?Why don?t you go, "Duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh," ? and we wrote that down, and I played guitar on it, and we cut ?Ring of Fire.? Johnny Cash was my all-time favorite person to work with because I just loved the guy. We both had the same kind of sense of humor. We grew up very close to each other. He was over in Arkansas, not too far from Memphis. We heard all the same stuff on the radio. You would be amazed at what Johnny Cash would sing that he?d never record: Ink Spots songs, Mills Brothers songs, stuff like that. We would just sit around and sing sometimes, no guitar or nothing."
