The Paul Finebaum Show will sound a little bit different starting today. The content of the show is not changing, fans will still get plenty of SEC and college football talk, however the theme song for the show is getting a fresh coat of paint. The SEC Network show will debut a new version of Taylor Hicks’ ‘Call Paul’ song for the show as the conference officially welcomes the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns to the conference.
Hicks, the 2006 American Idol winner, is set to join The Paul Finebaum show this evening, virtually, as Finebaum will be appearing live from the University of Oklahoma. Hicks grew up in Alabama and attended Auburn and in a release, he was described as “an avid SEC fan and longtime friend of Finebaum.”
The original version of the song was put out by Hicks in 2017.
Since winning American Idol, Hicks has gone on to achieve RIAA-certified platinum status and make history as both the first male Idol champion featured on a GRAMMY-winning record, and the first to land a Las Vegas residency.
