Has to be the Derek and the Dominos version... not the slow one.

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

What an insult to the Kiffin family and Vol Nation. This is very lame. Please Vol Freak, will you delet this post?

You just took one of the greatest songs ever written/sang/performed...
and used mocking lyrics to talk about our coaches wife...

Does your "fanhood" need to be put into question?

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. How much of your life did you waste coming up with those lyrics?

Um what? He posted Layla. Big damn deal. He didn't change any of the words or mock anybody. Take a Xanax and chill out. That said, Rocky Top will never be replaced by Layla but it would be something new and cool for the band to play.

I know not everyone is a fan of classic rock, but I'm a little surprised by the number of people who have apparently never heard 'Layla'.

Guys and Gal or two,

I started this thread as a joke last night before going to bed. I wanted to see how many times I would get flamed.

This morning, I didn't couldn't 'fess up because between this and the "Enough about Layla" thread, I was laughing too hard to type.

First, I too am amazed at all of the attention our new coach's VERY attractive wife is getting. I am also a little shocked at the folks that have said the would "do her" and the ones that actually referred to her as a MILF or a PILF (I think I saw that one used on this board and can make up a meaning). If y'all want to post stuff saying my wife is hot, I am all for it. The MILF stuff and "do her" would not be totally appreciated, but I certainly wouldn't quit my job or break red on you for it.

Now about Mrs. Kiffin... She's smoking hot. Absolutely gorgeous at 8 mos pregnant. Many say the she is not a public figure and is therefore off limits. I believe if she shares in the spoils of being our football coach ($2+ mill a year), then we may feel free to compliment her (didn't I read something a few weeks back about some duties or obligations of some lady named Peterson?). She has grown up in the business. You think she got the job as the Bucs’ special events coordinator just because of her telephone skills? She was John Reaves daughter. She’s been an NFL coach’s wife. You think the Raider Nation was kinder and gentler to her?

Her name… Layla, for those of you that don't know (who ever would have imagined that anyone with an internet connection wouldn't know) is the title of a VERY famous rock song. It was written by Eric Clapton (a VERY famous rock musician) about a girl named Pattie Harrison who was married to Eric's good friend George Harrison (he was in a VERY famous group called the Beatles). It is a song about unattainable love. Clapton was in love with his buddy George's wife and wrote the song for her (the love wasn't actually unattainable since they had an affair and later married). It is a very powerful song about a girl that the writer says will lead to his insanity, so as listeners, you must assume she is pretty hot (and by looking at some old pictures of Pattie, she was).You can read all about it at Layla by Derek and the Dominos Songfacts.

Now that we got that out of the way, we have to realize that her parents (the Reaves) were Clapton fans and actually named her for the song (like naming a girl born in the eighties Roxanne). It is a very uncommon name that 75% or more of the people that hear it will be reminded of the song about the hot girl named Layla (like our Mrs. Kiffin). If you want to blame someone for this poor girl's burden, you can start with her parents.

Other humorous bits...

I purposely named the thread something scandalous and kind of off topic. I did that because I get tired of others doing the same thing. It was funny, though. How many of you urgently clicked the thread to see what that young gun coach thought he was up to?

How many guys actually thought I wrote the lyrics and wanted to sing them to the tune of Rocky Top? That is unfathomable.

I found it most humorous that guys with avatars with girls on stripper poles, or thong shots and names like throbbing member were so quick to accuse me of making the Volnation look like Jerry Springer Trailer Trash. You guys have been doing that a lot longer than the 15 months that I have been a member.

And for TennesseePride wanting to check my “fandom”… Replacing Rocky Top would be like replacing God Bless America or the Marine Hymn. It just ain’t never gonna happen. The fact that any of you took it seriously shows how delirious things have become.

In closing…

Like a couple of folks have said, it is early December and we are not going bowling. We have a long time to wait until we see the commitments and until spring practice. This coaching change has gotten everyone strung about an octave too high.

Y’all just chill out.

Everything’s going to be okay.

Go Vols!

Wading through all these pointless threads is worse than watching '08 UT football. Can we please stop with the stupid B.S. threads people?
