![]() A deaf connoisseur of punk rock observing fans slam dancing with complete strangers would likely guess that Blitzkrieg Bop is blaring over the loud speaker in the arena.Ĥ. The classic "Hey, Ho, Let's Go" serves as the fans' basic call-to-arms for their team. Blitzkrieg Bop- Ramones- More commonly known as the "Hey, Ho, Let's Go" song, Blitzkrieg Bopis perfect for those "we desperately need a goal" moments. ![]() The Penguins have just started using this song during games over the past two seasons, but it has become increasingly popular among the crowd at Mellon Arena.ĥ. "One, take control of me/ You're messing with the enemy" might be one of the most adrenaline rush inspiring lyrics that I have ever heard. The lyrics themselves are enough to make anyone want to lace up the skates and hit the ice to lay a solid shoulder check into the oppositions' star right winger. Clubfoot- Kasabian- This song is relatively new to hockey arenas, but it should take off very quickly. Whether you see that crazy college kid dancing in the aisle, or the 85-year old grandmother in front of you tapping her feet, Cotton Eye Joe always ensures that something crazy is about to happen.Ħ. Cotton Eye Joe- Rednex- Perhaps the most entertaining of the songs on the list, Cotton Eye Joe has evolved into a call for fans to just let loose. This is one of those songs that you could hear while walking into an 8AM Biology class that just might make you drop your books and start jumping up and down.ħ. ![]() Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train is usually played before the television broadcast returns from a commercial break while "MAKE SOME NOISE" flashes across the Jumbotron. Whether you're Canadian, American, Russian, Czech, French, Swedish, Finnish, or of other origin, whether you're singing along off key in English or French, you have to have respect for this timeless classic which boasts "Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee!"Ĩ. The anthem of the country from which hockey was born always pumps up the crowd before a big game. The fact that they get to hear Lyndon Slewidge sing "Oh, Canada" on a game-by-game basis should make all American fans feel a little deprived. The Canadian National Anthem- There is but one thing that I envy about Ottawa Senators fans. The tradition of playing the United States' national anthem before any sporting event reminds us how fortunate we are to be living in a country where entertainment includes attending sporting events rather than scavenging through dirty streets looking for a midnight snack.ĩ.
