SEBASTIAN BACH To Perform 'We Are The Ducks' At OREGON DUCKS Pep Rally
January 7, 2011Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach and the guitarist for his solo band, Nick Sterling, will perform "We Are the Ducks" — the "power ballad" about respecting the power of the University of Oregon football team (Oregon Ducks) — this Sunday (January 9) at the Oregon Ducks pep rally on the Bud Light Fiesta grounds in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Commented Bach: "The Oregon Ducks are flying me to Arizona tomorrow to sing 'We Are The Ducks' at their pep rally! Accompanying me on the song will be my guitar player, Nick Sterling! We are going to the big game on Monday as well! Then I am gonna hang out with Nick for a couple of days and write some tunes.
"We will be going out in Phoenix.
"I hope to meet some of you Phoenix rockers. After all, I am all about having fun in 2011!
"See ya Sunday, Phoenix!"

"We Are the Ducks" was first performed by Bach during the January 5 edition of NBC-TV's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" show.
"We Are the Ducks" features references to some of the places and things that make Eugene special — including mentions of the Willamette River, coach Chip Kelly and the team's much-talked-about spread offense.
According to KPTV, Fallon said there are Ducks and Auburn Tigers alums who work on his show and that they flipped a coin to see who would receive the power ballad.
"Every school has a fight song, but no school has its own power ballad," Fallon said.
The Ducks and Tigers meet Monday in the BCS national championship game.
"We Are The Ducks" lyrics
It's game day in Eugene
And the kick off time is set
As the sun rises over the Willamette
Wearing yellow and green
A quick pit stop for beer
At the Steelhead on Pearl, we cheer
Many rivals have come
To take on the Ducks
It's them versus us
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play and we're playing to win
We are the Ducks
From Oregon
Our boys are prepared
With coach Kelly in charge
And secret "spread offense" on cue cards
Shoulder to shoulder we yell and sing
And lift up our Ducks to victory
We love a good challenge
but take it from us
Don't f**k with the Ducks
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play and we're playing to win
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play
And we're playing to win
We are the Ducks
