Your Pirates just dropped a new sea shanty about orange cones. Seriously.

Here's what's wild—

## You gotta hear this new Buccos fight song

So listen—yinz know how much Pittsburgh loves its fight songs, n'at? We got "Here We Go!" for the Steelers, which is basically our second national anthem. But the Pirates? They've been leanin' into this whole "Raise the Jolly Roger" thing, and now there's a new fight song called "Hoist the Cone" and it's gone full sea shanty. Seriously, it's about the Pirates and their orange cones, and it's got that old-timey, sing-along vibe. You gotta hear it.

It's just so Pittsburgh, right? Only here would we rally around a team and some traffic cones like this. It’s like when we all collectively decide to love something kinda quirky and run with it. It reminds me of the Randyland house on the North Side, or how everyone goes nuts for the pierogi at the Polish Hill church festival. We just embrace the weird and make it our own. This "Hoist the Cone" thing is gonna be stuck in your head, promise.

* It’s a sea shanty. * It's for the Pirates. * It's all about the orange cones. * It's catchy as all get-out.

This isn't just a silly song; it’s another piece of that Pittsburgh spirit, where we find joy in the unexpected and make it part of our identity. It's the kind of thing that brings people together at PNC Park, yelling along. That's the Burgh, yinz — steel town heart, no matter what.

Kait and the crew are talkin' all about this goofy song tomorrow mornin' — catch 'em live at mornings.live.
