Monday Night Football, ready for the game
Monday Night Football, been countin' down the days
Monday Night Football, sugar for my soul
Monday Night Football, sweet as rock and roll

(Hut!) Are you ready for it?
(Hut!) Get ready for it
(Hut!) Are you ready for it?
(Hut!) Get ready for it

Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football, ooh
Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football

Monday night, Monday night, yeah
Monday night, Monday night, mmm

Monday Night Football, ready for the game
Monday Night Football, countin' down the days
Monday Night Football, sugar for your soul
Monday Night Football, sweet as rock and roll

Runnin' back, under attack
Break away from the defensive pack
Zonin' in, feed him a drill
Number ten movin' in for the kill
Sack that, quarterback, I'm windin' back
Ball spinnin' 'round and 'round
Boom! Touchdown

(Hut!) Are you ready for it?
(Hut!) Get ready for it
(Hut! Hut!) Are you ready for it?
(Hut!) Get ready for it

Monday Night Football, ready for the game
Monday Night Football, countin' down the days
Monday Night Football, sugar for my soul
Monday Night Football, sweet as rock and roll

Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football
Yeah, Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football

That's what I'm talkin' about

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
