Contrary to popular error, the 101st does not sing "Blood Upon the Risers", which is a stupid song anyway. The 101st song is called "Rendezvous with Destiny". The current, and correct lyrics are as follows:
We have a Rendezvous with Destiny!
Our Strength and Spirit strike the Spark
That will always make Men Free!
Assault right down from the Skies of Blue!
Keep your Eyes on the Job to be done!
We're the Soldiers of the 101st!
We'll Fight till the Battles won!
The original lyrics (Pre-Desert Storm) were:
We have a Rendezvous with Destiny!
Our Strength and Spirit strike the Spark
That will always make Men Free!
Jump right down from the Skies of Blue!
Keep your Eyes on the Job to be done!
We're the Men of the 101st!
We'll Fight till the Battles won!
There are many Airborne songs and songs about the 101st, but this is the official Division Song, sung at all formal military functions such as Changes of Command ceremonies, Retirments, WLC graduations, etc.

No. The 101st Airborne is no longer an airborne division. It's has been the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division since Vietnam (I think). They wear the black berets. I was in 1st Brigade. -Keith
