We invited readers to take that inspiration and turn it into Football fight songs for our beloved Men of Steel.

The only rule was to add lyrics to go along with the music from one of the following patriotic tunes:

? "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again"

? "Yankee Doodle"

? "The Caissons Go Rolling Along"

? "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

We were overwhelmed with the responses of team spirit we received. But a decision had to be made. Scott Pegram of Greensburg is our winner, and will receive a Steelers jersey and a collection of Steelers paraphernalia.

Sung to "Yankee Doodle"

Michael Tomlin came to town

To lead the Steeler Nation.

Took us to the Super Bowl

And won the town's affection

Cardinals, you best watch out.

You're gonna' take a lickin'.

The red birds they are gonna fry.

I hear they taste like chicken!

? Scott Pegram, Greensburg

Sung to "The Caissons Go Rolling Along"

Black and gold, Steeler proud,

Hear the roaring of the crowd.

And the Steelers are coming on strong.

Hines and Troy, Miller too.

Let them show what they can do.

And the Steelers are coming on strong.

Then it's Parker from Ben,

The ball is in the end.

TOUCHDOWN!! And the fans are going wild.

In every city far and wide

The black and gold they wear with pride.

Yes, the Steelers are coming on strong.

Big Ben throws. We make the catch.

This is the team no one can match.

And the Steelers are coming on strong

It's our year. There's no doubt.

Wave the Terrible Towels and shout.

Yes, the Steelers, are coming on strong.

Then it's 1-2-3, snap the ball to Number 3.

Jeff Reed has done it once again.

Yes the gold and the black

We're gonna get that six-pack.

The Super Bowl, the Steelers, will win!

? Shelley Mattis, Connellsville

Sung to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

We're the Pittsburgh Steelers , and to Tampa we will go

Where we'll trample on the Cardinals, our one remaining foe.

They think that they can beat us, but little do they know,

The Steelers' might will show!

Pittsburgh Steelers we salute you,

Hope all our cheers will move you,

To get the field goals and touchdowns too

And on to victory!

Sung to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again"

When the Steelers go running on the field,

Look out. Look out,

Cause these are the mighty men of steel.

Look out. Look out.

It's an awesome sight our fans behold.

And we all will cheer when the Steelers run on the field.

When the Steelers go running on the field,

Look out. Look out,

Cause these are the mighty men of steel.

Look out. Look out.

They will cut no slack. They will blitz and sack.

There will be no holes for a running back.

Mine eyes have seen the glories of their Super Bowls before,

We won't forget, we know we're blessed, but still WE WANT ONE MORE!

To raise the silver trophy is what we're all cheering for,

Coach Tomlin lead them on!

Glory, glory -- Polamalu!

Harrison, he's gonna pound you!

Parker's speed will just astound you!

As Big Ben leads them on!

Of all the selfless players who define the black and gold,

Hines Ward is the one who would precisely fit the mold!

He'll make the catch, or knock you flat in rain or shine or cold,

His game is always on!

Glory, glory -- Here comes Jeff Reed!

He's sure to get the points that we need!

It's up, it's good, now you can add 3!

He'll always add points on!

When Mr. Rooney bought the Steelers back in 1933,

How could he know how far they'd go in making history?

Now they're cheered and loved around the world, from sea to shining sea,

Still, Rooney's led them on!

Glory, glory -- Polamalu!

Harrison, he's gonna pound you!

Parker's speed will just astound you!

As Big Ben leads them on!

Even though both had their try,

And the Steelers keep rolling along.

Chargers failed, Ravens flew,

Thanks to our defensive crew,

And the Steelers keep rolling along.

Then it's "Yoi! Yoi! Yoi!"

On our way to Tampa, boys

We'll count our Super Bowl rings loud

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

And where-e'er you go,

you will always know

That the Steelers keep rolling along.

Down and out, teams knocked out,

It's a rout, we all can shout,

As the Steelers keep rolling along,

Time to shine, keep it real,

Black and gold, the real deal,

As our Steelers keep rolling along.

As we swing, swing, swing,

Terrible Towels to victory.

Super Bowl trophies coming home

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

and Fast Willie's feet.

The Steel Curtain just can't be beat.

We'll all have a parade to celebrate when the Steelers get the ring!

With Hampton, Harrison and Farrior

We're tough, so tough!

Hines Ward will get knocked down and smile

He's rough, so rough!

With Mewelde Moore and Heath Miller too,

The Cardinals, they will cry BOO HOO.

When forty-three's over, our guys will get new bling!

No. 7's big guns will be firing straight

Yippee! Yippee!

Just see! Just See!

Terrible Towels are everywhere

From Iraq to Market Square

As we head to the Super Bowl

We have the best defense you know,

That's because of Dick LeBeau

The Steelers are in the Super Bowl

We can run, we can throw,

Watch Santonio go

Running back a punt for a touchdown!

There's Fast Willie and there's Heath

Our team it can't be beat

Now it's on to the Super Bowl.

Oh Big Ben he stands tall

As he throws the perfect ball

As Hines Ward scores another touchdown

Here comes Jeff Reed with platinum hair

A 50-yard kick with room to spare

As the Steelers keep rolling along

We've got Harrison and Farrior,

They don't get any scarier

Watch out for Hampton, Woodley, Foote and Keisel too

Townsend, Starks and Gay

They'll keep the other teams at bay

The Steelers are in the Super Bowl

If it's a big hit that you crave,

Clark and Polamalu are fan faves!

Carter also has rung a few bells!

Kemoeatu, Smith and Hoke

They play hard, and that's no joke

And they're on to the Super Bowl

The youngest coach in history

To go and win the Super Bowl

Mine ears have heard the story of the exploits of Hines Ward,

He hath lit up all the Steelers' lights on many a scoreboard,

He hath brutalized defensive backs until his teammates scored,

His troops are marching on

Refrain:

Glory, glory hallelujah, Glory, glory hallelujah,

Glory, glory hallelujah, our team is marching on

His quarterback is comfy in the pocket or outside,

Ben can pass it off to Willie or just run it in and slide,

He can screen it to the running back or bomb it to the wide,

His troops are marching on.

Repeat refrain

The O-line makes the crucial blocks on second and third downs,

They have tamed ferocious Bengals and humiliated Browns,

They have turned the mighty Ravens "D" into a bunch of clowns,

Their troops are marching on.

And in the waning moments when the outcome is in doubt,

That's when Harrison and Woodley strive to knock the bad guys out,

Polamalu, Clark and Taylor turn the game into a rout,

Their troops are marching on

LaMarr and James will knock them down

Troy will intercept

Pittsburgh Steelers , go

Beat the Cardinals in Tampa Bay

One bird down and one to go

Smash them, smash them

Run them down and don't look back

Smash them, smash them

The Steeler Nation with their Terrible Towels

Will jump up and down and scream and shout

And we will all be happy

When we score a touchdown

Coach Tomlin knows his team can win

Let's go, let's go

Ben and Hines know what to do

Let's go, let's go

Down the field the Football goes

Hines catches it, and off he goes

It is Steeler tradition to wave

Their Terrible Towel.

Parker waits for his turn to run

Let's go, let's go

Ben gives him the ball and off he goes

Let's go, let's go

Ben gets it back and to Santonio it goes

He catches it, and we see him go

And we will all be happy

When we score a touchdown

The defense sure can play this game

Let's go, let's go,

They block them and they hold them back

Let's go, let's go

Polamalu is fast and he gets them down

We all get excited and wave our towels,

And after they win, I see him handing out the game ball
