===Fight song=== The song was written and composed by Lee Ofman, and has similar instrumentation and lyrics to the fight song of the [[Houston Oilers]]. Ofman approached the Dolphins with it before the 1972 season because he wanted music to inspire his favorite team. The fight song would soon serve as a good luck charm for the Dolphins that season. The Dolphins became the first team in NFL history to record an undefeated season, going 17β0 en route to victory over the Washington Redskins in [[Super Bowl VII]]. The following season, Miami posted an equally impressive 15β2 record and capped the season with another title, defeating the Minnesota Vikings in [[Super Bowl VIII]]. The back-to-back championship runs, coupled with the popularity of the fight song amongst Dolphins fans, have ensured the song's longevity. The Dolphins revealed a new fight song by [[T-Pain]] and [[Jimmy Buffett]] featuring [[Pitbull (rapper)|Pitbull]] on August 7, 2009, which was introduced for the 2009 NFL season.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wright |first1=Todd |title=Dolphins Become Death of Autotune |url=https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Dolphins-Fight-Song-Goes-Autotune-52679517.html |website=NBC 6 South Florida |access-date=November 28, 2019 |date=August 7, 2009 |archive-date=November 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191128101837/https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Dolphins-Fight-Song-Goes-Autotune-52679517.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The fight song was played during the preseason home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 17, 2009, but was not played during the second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 22, 2009, after being booed heavily in the first game. Furthermore, the team has preferred to play Buffett's song "[[Fins (song)|Fins]]" after scores during the 2009 regular season instead of the traditional fight song.
