I was a senior at the fair when this happened. I was walking up to meet my girl and when I heard this, I literally did one of them movie stop everything and turn around and was like, "They playing swang! That's the college I'm going to iownkurr (I dont care in Dallas slang)". I ended up graduating from PV with my degree in biology and I owe it to this performance right here!
Nobody can do a Houston song like a Houston black band… it’s in our nature… Southern likes playing this song but it just don’t hit the same… Texas all day baby!!!!
planetice that’s soo me when it comes to music. I’ve arranged things straight off a keyboard and had others play along with their instruments. Whoever use to write PVs arrangements back then knew something about chords. They had the perfect blend, punch, and power back then. Some of their songs give me chill bumps.
PV definitely has the best version of Swang and I went to Grambling, they get mad props for this version. The crowd is actually reacting to the mascots battling each other, you can only tell if you look at the bottom right corner of the video. I wish someone had that on video. That was the best mascot battle ever, and that went to Grambling.
You calling somebody you don't know a dumb ass.. Aren't you the intelligent one.. I've heard SU's I just favor this one because it's different ... That's all, never said I didn't like SU's arrangement
I always come back to this vid every couple of years. i was raised in PV, and in the early 90's we could hear them practice from miles out during the night.🌙🔥🔥
Yeah this was when they still let the bands be the entertainment for the game. I went this year('11) and all I heard was freaking commercials...if I wanted to hear that crap I would have stayed at home and listened to the freaking game at home!!! State Fair Classic please go back to the days of allowing PV and GSU to blow at each other...HECK IT IS THE HBCU WAY!!!!
I'm not gon lie...I should've came to pv 05 was my crab year at Gram 🎺 ... This was the sound I was looking for back then and being from n.o i didnt want to march for Su
@nook5043 and why do you say that...is it because of the chords you weren't expectin to hear, which is good music, was it because the tubas held down the bass line the entire time the way tubas are suppose to, or is it because everyone in the band was playing full and clean, and not loud distorted...weak huh lol, people's definitions today...
Better chords. Man i love the S and everything but yall chords are basic 3,5,7 or stac. Listen to this it sounds like the cd. Southern is all about shere power and i love it but pv well back when i marched till the early 2000's even 06 was way more colorful in our arrangements.
Swang, and I swang, and I swang to the left. Pop, pop my trunk And yep, yep, yep. open.spotify.com/track/702RdmOBmeHXG2jAmNeGN8?si=FPAPoM2xQpStt9iOwQsKEw
I'm a die hard Southern Human Jukebox fan, and even as much as I hate prairie view a&m that actually sounds really good (compared to the song)... But when it comes to SU y'all caint swang wit us... DUECES

I think I've just officially found the best version of Swang ever!!!!
I mean majority of the band from Houston.
if I read one more comment about SU playing this song better than PVU, I may have to suggest therapy. This is the best version hands down.💜💛💜💛💜💛😍
Nobody can do a Houston song like a Houston black band… it’s in our nature… Southern likes playing this song but it just don’t hit the same… Texas all day baby!!!!
I like this arrangement. It's like somewhere between "Swang" and the original "Lady in My Life"
Gone PV!
Them Tubas Though.. Such Power & Control
They ought to keep this one in the book every year. Nice arrangement.
I agree
I still remember when Mark Gordon showed us on the piano, there was never sheet music for this one ;)
planetice that's deep

PV needs to keep this in the book yearly!
OMM FR FR!!!

This gotta be one the best arrangements I've heard and the dynamics are so put together just enough to hear the flutes and piccolos
u must havent heard SU's dumbass
You calling somebody you don't know a dumb ass.. Aren't you the intelligent one.. I've heard SU's I just favor this one because it's different ... That's all, never said I didn't like SU's arrangement
They need to bring this back in 2018.
damn that is a great arrangement. it gets great crowd reaction.
This is the best version of swang! It sounds more like the original song Trae n big hawk
Agreed
D Pope YES! I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!
I think right now SU is the best band in the SWAC, but PVAM hands down have the best version of swang
its crazy back in high school around 2007 I wrote a version very similar to this.
big ups to PV
my dad went to pv and broke the loosing streak in 1998
Heck yeah!
this the best version of swang I've ever heard in a long time
06 was the best year recently. the State Fair Classic needs to shut down the ads and let the bands represent and entertain!!!
I always come back to this vid every couple of years. i was raised in PV, and in the early 90's we could hear them practice from miles out during the night.🌙🔥🔥
yea i agree..:) i like it how the blended "lady in my life together wit trae's song!!! NICEE!!!! we played against them haha
They sound so good. Gave me chills.
I can't wait to play this arrangement it melts my soul like the chords everything is wonderful 😁
This the PV I remember... 06 was my last RIP in the World Famed... This shAt was so groovy live
those pic's are eating that upbeat... I love some southern but i think this arrangment eats southerns
I miss this PV
i love that flute and piccolo part!!
Mellos coming thru 💯🤙🏾
I like the groove that PVAMU have with theirs...I can see the whole crowd was jamming!
Man that Mascot Battle was Legendary!!
This is my 1st time hearing PVAMU, I like the build....and yeah of course SWAC limits the cranking durin da games....
Just let that Bass line RRRIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEE !
Dang I wish I could still play my baritone
Been playing this video for 10 years
Still wish the crank part was longer
Going on 15 years now 🔥🔥
man thats why i love pvu...they got that groovness...lol
Love it
Them Mellos man!!!
They're playing "Trae-Swang" that's really awesome. I'm favoriting and subscribing :D
Yeah this was when they still let the bands be the entertainment for the game. I went this year('11) and all I heard was freaking commercials...if I wanted to hear that crap I would have stayed at home and listened to the freaking game at home!!! State Fair Classic please go back to the days of allowing PV and GSU to blow at each other...HECK IT IS THE HBCU WAY!!!!
best version heard too me
the best swang out there sounds just like the actual song
Untouchables tossing it up!!!!
yessssir!
they got live baby i like dis
I love this version, but who composed the original song?
I'm not gon lie...I should've came to pv 05 was my crab year at Gram 🎺 ... This was the sound I was looking for back then and being from n.o i didnt want to march for Su
PV definitely got the best version of this song
PV has the best swang
I like this though!!!!
i like this version it had me singing i think its more a crowd pleaser than battle song
LMFAO @ the mascot the lower right.
tru tru-- they just let that bass line ride, builds anticipaton......
i actually play this shit in my car on the way to work.....this shit is mello... kudos to the arrangers and pv
tkd121984 who is this song by? This is the best arrangement I've heard!
Thanks jrock
I like PV's arrangement also. It's closer to the M.Jackson original. Go FL-utes!! Thanks for the post Rory!!!
AEA
I love this version, always leave this video up because the other videos trying to sound like swang aren't as good
I like. This my shit.
Do they still play this... I just got crunk for a lil bit lol
@nook5043 and why do you say that...is it because of the chords you weren't expectin to hear, which is good music, was it because the tubas held down the bass line the entire time the way tubas are suppose to, or is it because everyone in the band was playing full and clean, and not loud distorted...weak huh lol, people's definitions today...
This arrangement is amazing! What is this song based off of? Gotta hear the original!
MAANNNN I FUCKIN LOVE HOUSTON
Agreed PV is more grooving than SU
Everytime the band get ready to play people started cheering lol. i wish it was like that at my school
Better chords. Man i love the S and everything but yall chords are basic 3,5,7 or stac. Listen to this it sounds like the cd. Southern is all about shere power and i love it but pv well back when i marched till the early 2000's even 06 was way more colorful in our arrangements.
@juicemiester4 I definitely hear that. I hated when I played in the meac we barely played at all during plays. It kinda sucked.
swac rules limit the times during the game that you can play out. we try to follow tha rules, most of the time.
Overton in memphis
Its is Watered down!
is there a car in the stadium?
what school u go to?
wow this version is better than SU i hate to say it but it is.
lol yeah i see now I forgot they were facing me i tend to overthink things
@TrueTrombone352 swang n we swang n we swang to da left pop popn ,y trunk yep yep yep
PeeVee ain’t been this good since

open.spotify.com/track/702RdmOBmeHXG2jAmNeGN8?si=FPAPoM2xQpStt9iOwQsKEw
Fuck all that bullshit ya'll talkin, I'm just glad to see them representin for the legacy.
ok....realizing what game this was......THEY GAVE GSU THA BUSINESS!!!!!! LOL!!!!
mellos and b-tones did that ****
anyone else realize they were "turning the wheel" to the right
CDdaBoss lol if we were facing the same way they were facing they are swanging to the left lol 😂
they raw esp. the brass but what are they sayin
LOL Remix actually PV is playing the cords to the real song they are not trying to over blow i having to like theirs better than SU
they turn it to their left dummy
I'm a die hard Southern Human Jukebox fan, and even as much as I hate prairie view a&m that actually sounds really good (compared to the song)... But when it comes to SU y'all caint swang wit us... DUECES
grambling
This has nothing on SU's Arrangement!!!! PVAM needs to try again!!!
Lousiana can't do a H-Town song right. And Southern has NO musicality whatsoever, they still play out of tune.
this is really ugly .
I don't really like this version.
This is boring, and also is more of a bastardized mix of Hey Love, Lady in my Life and Swang.
