How many other professional sports have a well established song?

The Detroit Tigers have "Go Get 'Em Tigers."

When the Tigers were in the postseason pennant races a dozen or so years ago, The Detroit Symphony Orchestra would perform an orchestral version during a September concert each year, early in their season.




Not really an official theme song, but several teams across different sports have used The Alan Parsons Project instrumental "Sirius" during player introductions.

It'll be interesting to see whether the new name of the Washington Redskins will have the same number of syllables so as to be able to work with the music, and substantially the lyrics, to "Hail to the Redskins."

The unofficial anthem of the White Sox is "Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam. ESPN did a great story recently on how it happened:

The official anthem of the White Sox is much less known: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CPz7pkYcgg

The Bungles adopted "Welcome to the Jungle" as a theme song after it came out in 1987/88 and became popular.

If they hadn't become so woke, I'd recommend UK Athletics adopt "Cat Scratch Fever" as a theme song. But Ted Nugent and kneeling for the national anthem aren't sympatico.

The Chargers also had another anthem by P.O.D:


LSU has "Eye Of The Tiger" and "Neck" (plus who knows how many other songs).

This North Side ditty first came out the year I entered high school (and my signature contains the chorus to it):

Of course, the most famous example of that is the Bulls during their glory years of the 90s.

The Orioles' theme song is this 70stastic masterpiece.

You still hear Brass Bonanza, at least occasionally, at Carolina Whalicanes games.

The Hurricanes do keep the Whaler's old goal horn.

But it's not the official Chicago Bears song.  It's the anthem of the 1985 Bears. 

And now... ladies and gentlemen, our National Anthem (two versions, one with lyrics):  :)

Because the Super Bowl Shuffle was better than this response




The Red Sox don't have an official theme song, just several songs associated with them (Dirty Water by the Standelles, Tessie by the Dropkick Murphys, and of course Sweet Caroline)

This one here is the unofficial Bruins theme song:



And the Celtics and Bruins have often been associated with this one:

That's the first time I've heard that disaster since Super Bowl XX.  :-o

Who came up with that garbage?  "New England, the Patriots, and We?!?!?!?!?"  We what?  We sound like fools?  We lost 46-10?  We got lucky and beat the Dolphins?  We have no taste in music (Boston-based music really is better than this)?  Thank God they dumped that crap once Brady arrived.
