Looking for symphonic version of The Victors
You know those "Michigan Difference" commercials with the symphonic (for lack of a better word) version of The Victors? Here's a link to the video if you're not familiar.
I absolutely love that version of the song and am wondering if anybody knows where (or if) I can download it, preferably without the commercial voice-over.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hmm, it used to be available for download from micchigandifference.org but I don't see the link anymore. I have the mp3 and can upload it for you tonight. I'm already going to be making some Victors & Temptation ringtones for a few friends tonight. Time to queue up The Victors Valiant album on your iPods, folks.

If someone doesn't get to it before I'm home this evening, I'll find a way to make the file available.

I'd be interested in that one, but here's a version by Pat Suzuki that is... "Different"...

and here is a link that shows you how to convert it into an Iphone ringtone:

(you will need to clip the music in itunes first before converting it and the link shows you how to do that).
EDIT: I've actually done all the work, so here is the ringtone itself:

Michigan Difference theme download
My brother sent me a cool violin/cello version of The Victors, which I always thought made the Michigan Difference commercials infinitely more awesome.
Since you all bleed maize and blue, I imagine at least a few might want to have a good copy of it. I uploaded it to this page , although I don't know if that's the best site.
If the link fails, just let me know and I'll get another one back up.
Definitely my new ringtone.
Hail.

I am not a big cry-at-the-movies type...but a couple of those comercials actually made my eyes wet...at great bit of advertising and that has to be my favourite version of the Victors

The downloaded version worked fine for the first 5 seconds then started to "pop" after that

I WILL find a way to use this in my wedding someday. I don't care who the girl is, if she walks down the aisle to that song, I'll be in love for life.

I downloaded it and now on to converting it to a ring tone. Here is a useful link for iphone users:

My link there is dead. Here's the new one.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure how its quality or length compares to the mp3 available on the med.umich.edu page.

You guys are all awesome.
Shots +1's for everyone!

I apologize for being technologically deficient, but how do I download the mp3 from those links? They just take me to an embedded Quicktime player that plays the song, but I can't figure out how to download it.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
right click -> "save target as" or "save link as"
September 1st, 2010 at 5:41 PM ^
I think it worked through the USAUpload link posted above -- I still can't get the Quicktime ones, because when I right-click on it it only offers me "about Quicktime plug-in," "save as source (pro version only)," and "save as Quicktime movie (pro version only)."
Is it not possible to save those without having Quicktime Pro?
September 1st, 2010 at 11:47 PM ^
sorry, I should have been more clear. You have to right click the link itself, not after clicking through the link.

That song came on randomly on my iPod on shuffle when I was on an amtrack pulling into ann arbor a couple of months ago after coming back for the first time in a couple of years, and I definately starting tearing up. Props to whoever wrote it.
