On second thought. Leave the dubstep to me. I just had a great idea for it. Haha

Fail. If your going with rock, the easy choose is "Call of the Warrior" by Volbeat. Ya Dig?

Since a frontiersman is one of our mascots and Davy Crockett is one of our most legendary early residents, you might also give consideration to the "Ballad of Davy Crockett." There are far more renditions of this song than I was aware of, but the following should give you some inspiration:

Tennessee Ernie Ford: The Ballad Of Davy Crockett - YouTube

Call me nuts, but you hate Davy Crockett don't you? I'm good at seeing the telltale signs.

Exactly. I don't get where they call them "songs" anyhow. And the stuff that Mike & Mike call songs---puke. Take a recorded beat, make up some silly lyrics, and wa la---a song? Cmon man. Dumbing down of America. Alabama had a pretty good song back in 05. "Back on top". And they did get there too.

What's French for irony? Would it sound cool rapped?

I don't know if you could get copyright release, but John Denver could have produced a real masterpiece if he had only integrated the following minor revisions to this classic:

Almost heaven, Tenn-uh-see-e
Smoky Mountains, Tenn-uh-see-e River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
Tenn-uh-see-e, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories, gathered 'round her
Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

As you can see, it would be true to the spirit of Rocky Top but has a prettier melody.
