Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this post.
"Flames Go All The Way" aired on CKXL by DJ Gary James and The James Gang, which was composed of myself, my brother and a few of my friends. We wrote it during the first round of the 1986 playoffs.
A few months before that, we were talking to Gary James while the CKXL Funbus was on location at McMahon Stadium during the "Save Our Stamps" campaign in which the franchise almost folded. We wrote a parody of the Chicago Bears Shuffle called "We're Called The Stamps" in 15 minutes and performed it live on the air. After that, he asked if we could do the same for the Flames during the playoffs.
Anyways, it's interesting to note that the "C of Red" was created during that 1986 Playoff run. I'm honestly not sure who the first one was to mention it, but while we were in the CKXL Funbus outside the Saddledome, before Game 1 vs the Blues, someone told Gary James to tell people over the radio to wear "red" and create a sea of red.
