It's time to make things right.

Oh, so right.

It's time to bring back "Dixieland Delight."

Up until 2015, Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium played the famous 80s country song "Dixieland Delight" during the fourth quarters of games. It was one of best things about Saturdays in Tuscaloosa -- some would say the best. It was the band Alabama at Alabama games singing about life Down South. Everyone loved it.

But then political correctness happened.

Fake outrage.

Mistakes were made by old people. They killed "Dixieland Delight."

The University of Alabama hasn't gotten much wrong over the past decade when it comes to football, but ending one of the greatest in-game traditions in all of sports was a colossal failure. "Dixieland Delight" was a better stadium anthem than "Sweet Caroline" at Boston Red Sox games. It was a better tradition, some would argue, than Auburn's pregame Eagle Flight.

Those are fighting words in the great state of Alabama, obviously. The Eagle Flight is iconic. There's nothing like it. Could you imagine if Auburn took it all away because some people were offended by it?

Fans would stop going to games in protest, but I'm sure there are people in this state who believe the Eagle Flight is offensive.

Because here's the thing. Everyone's offended by something.

As a staunch defender of the English language and all its glorious messiness, I'm offended that some people at Alabama don't appreciate the importance of all words. Even ones that some people might find offensive. No, especially the ones people might find offensive.

See how easy that was? We can do this all day.

As a creative person, I'm appalled by Alabama's lack of respect for self expression and personal identity.

As a proud Southerner, I'm deeply heartbroken that anyone would even think twice about taking away the voices of thousands and thousands of people belting out these beautiful lyrics:

Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover

Red-tailed hawk sitting on a limb

Chubby ol' groundhog

Croakin' bullfrog

Free as a feeling in the wind

Home grown country girl

Gonna give me a whirl

Alabama quit playing the song because the student section added some colorful lyrics to the chorus. Here they are, in case you might have forgotten:

Spend my dollar (ON BEER)

Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight (ROLL TIDE)

Hold her uptight (AGAINST THE WALL)

Make a little lovin' (ALL NIGHT)

A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night (F--- AUBURN)

Fits my life (AND LSU)

Oh so right (AND TENNESSEE, TOO)

My Dixieland Delight

Yep, they're offensive. Get over it, old people.

The call to kill "Dixieland Delight" was made when Bill Battle was the school's athletic director. Back in 2014, when everyone started getting offended by everything, people started complaining.

What a disgrace, Alabama. Have you no class? Where's the Grey Poupon for my halftime hot dog?

You know who won when Alabama took away "Dixieland Delight"? Auburn won. LSU won. Tennessee won.

Alabama lost.

There was hope among fans that Alabama's new athletic director, Greg Bryne, would bring back the song. He hasn't said yes or no, but his hollow corporate rhetoric about protecting the innocent ears of children hasn't been an encouraging sign.

Greg, if you want to be a living legend among Alabama fans, you know what to do. If you want to keep students in the stands until the fourth quarter, this is an easy call. Current and former Alabama players have been outspoken about wanting to bring it back.

Look, it shouldn't be this complicated. People, if you don't want your kids to hear the song, then just cover up their ears.

Earmuffs, kids. As Vince Vaughn said in the movie "Old School," "Earmuffs."

Vaughn to Luke Wilson in that famous scene: "You're focusing on all the wrong sort of details here. Did you, or did you not have a good time at the party?"

That's all that should matter here.

Stop being lame, Alabama. No one cares about "Mr. Brightside." It's a great song, sure, but who really cares about some band from Las Vegas singing about infidelity?

Bring it back.

The time is right.

Oh, so right.

For Dixieland Delight.
