Video: Colt Brennan Sings Inner Circle For Washington Redskins

By Ryan Corazza

Upon watching this here video of Redskin rookie Colt Brennan singing to the team during training camp, (filmed by the studly, dapper Antwaan Randle El) I had not a clue what song it was.

So then I had this awesome idea. I used this thing called the “Internet” and typed in a specific lyric he’s singing to “Google” and it told me the song is called “I Want To Make You Sweat” by UB40.

I thought the only song those guys ever did was “Red Red Wine.” Thank you, Mr. Brennan, for expanding my knowledge of moderately successful British reggae bands.

UPDATE: As astute commenter Krystle points out, Inner Circle — the peeps that sang “Bad Boys” — also did a version of this song called “Sweat (A La La La La Long).”

UPDATE 2: UB40 actually never recorded this song, despite the fact that 9,454,456 lyric sites attribute it them. After Michelle pointed this out in the comments, I crosschecked their discography and it checks out. The Internet lies, and I cry.
