....why are you limiting it to only three schools?
Neck is/has been played by more schools than that. Thats impossible to answer. H ell we even played Neck back in my day, and I crabbed in '85.

Fug <insert your school here>!
I'd dare say all SWAC bands if not all HBCU's have played Neck at some time. The LSU cat is not only ignorant of bands but ignorant of music in general if he doesn't know where that came from. :lol:

I believe it was one of the Texas schools that played it first. Possibly TSU.

The first time I heard it, it definitely was in Texas. But cant seem remember if it was at the Astro Dome or the Alamo Dome.

I believe that the WorldFAME made it famous tho as they played it all over the country on a weekly basis before other schools included it into their routine.

Yeah. I actually thought TSU played Talking Out the Side of Your Neck first.

Because I would like to know for myself and to put my neighbor in check. Is it a problem for me asking a band related question in a band forum?

I mean honestly, does it matter who played it first? Neck is just one of them songs like "I'm So Glad", "ESPN", or "Spirit (Old Time Religion)," EVERY HBCU have their own version. If you ever listen to the real song, it has so much stuff happening it. It is just one of those songs that you can play around with. That is also why everybody's version does not sound the same. Even if you take a piece from everybody's band and make one version. As far as LSU playing it, well SU has playing it for years and since they are not too far one another; LSU probably stole it from SU. Isn't that common, "The white man steals from the black man and takes the credit?"

One of my most memorable versions of "Neck? was when Texas Southern came out of the tunnel at Rice Stadium blowing it in the mid 1980's.

No, it's not a problem to ask. I just wanted to know why it was important on who played it first.
Too often on this board do we argue over petty, meaningless things just to claim some kind of 'bragging rights'--- such as who played a popular song first.
