How do you fire up an unenthusiastic home crowd or engage an already excited one into even higher emotional investment? How do you taunt the opposition or cheer on your own team? Add music and cue The Power of Rock! This is a trope that is Older than You Think, as a sufficiently profound musical instrument (say, an organ) carries farther than the human voice alone. Some songs have been so ingrained into certain sports that it becomes a Crowd Song or Call-and-Response Song. |

The Detroit Red Wings' default goal song is their Hockeytown theme, but they tend to mix it up a bit more. For example, when a Wing scores his first career goal at home, he might get "Feels Like the First Time" by Foreigner. The third Wings goal of the game is usually followed with "ABC 123" by The Jackson 5, while the fourth goal gets the opening of Billy Joel's "A Matter of Trust". And, if an opponent breaks a shutout late in a one-sided game, they'll get treated to Three Dog Night's "One".note As in "One is the loneliest number..." | |

On The Simpsons, the church organist is also the organist for the local minor-league baseball club. Parodied in "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge", during a town-wide riot, several people loot a musical instruments store and march out playing a university fight song. |

Speaking of Ireland, The Cranberries' "Zombie" became a significant sporting anthem after the death of longtime lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in 2018. First, the hurlingnote a traditional Irish sport somewhat similar to field hockey team representing the band's home of County Limerick adopted the song as its anthem during its successful run to that year's All-Ireland Championship. Not long after, Munster Rugby, a Limerick-based side playing in the competition now known as the United Rugby Championship, started playing it after games in tribute to O'Riordan. Home crowds reacted favorably enough to it that the song became a post-match staple. Then in 2023, the national rugby team adopted "Zombie" as its victory song at that year's Rugby World Cup, quite possibly inspired by Munster's usage of the song. Videos of thousands of Ireland supporters singing along with the song went massively viral. |

In Unseen Academicals the Academicals ask the school's Music Master to come up with some chants. He doesn't quite get the essence of a Football Fight Song and writes them too long and complicated. That's even before Bengo Macarona insists that the chant include all his titles and honors. | |

Not a goal song, but rather a victory song—in the 2018–19 season, after having started 2019 in dead last in the league, the St. Louis Blues began playing Laura Branigan's "Gloria" after every win. With the Blues surprisingly reaching that season's Stanley Cup Final (for the first time since 1970) and going on to lift the Cup for the first time ever, the singer's management began getting many requests for appearances and live performances... despite the fact that she had died in 2004. The Blues retired the song after that season, only breaking it out when they officially raised their Stanley Cup banner at the 2019–20 home opener. | |

Individual players sometimes even have theme music that's played when they come out. For examples, reliever Trevor Hoffman was famous for entering the field to the sound of AC/DC's "Hell's Bells". Pants-wetting by the opposing team often ensued at the sound of the first bell. | |

Meanwhile, in 2013, the Edmonton Oilers started using Pitbull's "Don't Stop The Party". The Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild (and people who just hate Pitbull to begin with), got subjected to it 6 and 7 times respectively in a single game. | |
