Since I was born in 1970 I am definitely an ‘80s kid when it comes to classic rock.
There are two songs from this era which remind me of the 2021-22 Cincinnati Bengals. The first is “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John from 1983 because no one expected the Bengals to get this far. Also, I believe this song especially applies to Joe Burrow, Larry Ogunjobi, and now CJ Uzomah as they recover from injury.
The next song went through my head all through the playoffs as it is basically an elimination tournament: “Sole Survivor” by Asia from 1982. Are these lyrics perfect for the Bengals or what?
And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end
