Summer is in full swing, meaning your favorite sport song is heard at that baseball game, football camp, or sporting event. Here are a few of our favorite hits played during sports action.
“Enter Sandman” by Metallica is a classic sports song by a heavy metal band that has been widely accepted – hey even dad likes the guitar lick. This song has been used since its birth at all Virginia Tech home football games.
“Start me Up” by the Rolling Stones is a simple, clean, guitar driven song that you’ll hear at baseball, football, and even math competitions. This song is mana from heaven.
“Na Na Hay Hey” by the 60s band Steam is the single most played song at the end of the sporting event when one group of fans want to really rub it in to the other group of fans. “Band the Drum” by Todd Rundgren, “Shout” by the Isley Brothers, and “The Final Countdown” from Europe are all great sports songs you’ll hear this summer.
“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor denotes strength and attitude in the face of adversity. Sadly the voice of this rock anthem Jimi Jamison lost his life in 2014 to drugs and a stroke.
