Sports Anthems
Overview
Stadiums hosting sporting events often turn to popular music to energize the crowd or celebrate the home team during breaks in play. Many players have specific songs that are played when they either take the field or make an impressive play. Let's explore some of the most popular sports anthems that have become staples in the world of sports.
Key Sports Anthems
One notable anthem is by the group Steam. Their song, "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye," is frequently played when the home team secures a victory or when a player is ejected from the game. Released in 1969, this track topped the American Billboard charts but remains Steam's only major hit.
Glam-rock artist Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" is another iconic sports anthem, often referred to as the "Hey Song" due to its catchy beat. Despite its popularity, many stadiums ceased playing it after Glitter's criminal convictions, leading teams to find alternatives.
Freddie Mercury and Queen have contributed significantly to the sports music scene. "We Are The Champions" is perfect for championship celebrations, while "We Will Rock You" encourages crowd participation. "Another One Bites The Dust" is another fitting choice when celebrating a competitor's removal from the game.
Todd Rundgren’s "Bang On The Drum All Day" is a fan favorite at Lambeau Field, home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers. It's often played after a Packers touchdown, especially during the celebratory Lambeau Leap.
The Rolling Stones also provide a rallying call with their song "Start Me Up," typically played before kickoffs. Other popular tracks you might hear at sporting events include "What I Like About You" by The Romantics, EMF's "Unbelievable," and "Takin’ Care of Business" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
Conclusion
While the writers of these songs may not have envisioned them becoming sports anthems, their infectious beats and rousing snippets are perfect for energizing crowds and adding excitement to sporting events. This musical tradition is one that’s sure to endure, continuing to unite fans and enhance the sports experience.
