Oh, Lions. Although the team has seen improvement from their 0-16 days, the team still has an aversion towards winning when it counts (such as the end games of the season and their final performance, a 26-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks).

Suffice it to say, Lions fans, the ever-faithful, have put up with a lot.

The folks over at [IT in the D](http://www.itinthed.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) have put together a funny little ditty parodies the Detroit Lions theme song, “Forward Down The Field.”

> Backwards down the field.
> 
> A bumbling team that always yields.
> 
> And when the Blue and Silver cave. Stand and jeer the lame.
> 
> (Blah, Blah, Blah).
> 
> Fall down, lose the game.
> 
> And with no honor and all shame. Stand around, complain.
> 
> More Lions Misery!!!!

This isn’t their first audio spoof. They also have a series of shorts they released last year, [“Real Detroit heroes.”](https://soundcloud.com/itinthed/sets/real-detroit-heroes?ref=dailydetroit.com) It’s a mockery of various common stereotypical groups in Detroit in the theme of the old Bud Light “Real American Heroes” ads.
