I’m Shipping Up to Boston by Dropkick Murphys The guitar solos are great, and the last minute of the song in particular is sure to get people amped up and ready for whatever is ahead of them. This song, combined with how much fans get into it, is sure to show opposing teams that they have a long night ahead of them and are in trouble.Įverything from the vocals, to the music, is aimed at taking the morale of the opposing team down. Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Rosesįew songs are as powerful as this when it comes to pre-game intimidation of opponents. While it may still pump players up, this song is definitely more of a crowd-pleaser and often used to get fans on their feet and more involved in the game. People all over the arena will get up and let loose, without a care in the world. It is far and away one of the most entertaining songs often played in arenas during breaks in play. If you listen to this song and aren’t tempted to dance, something is wrong with you. The song is timeless, gets everyone in the arena excited, and helps people believe that their team is truly going to rock their opponents.

The lyrics are meaningful and the music is sure to have people raring to go.Īlso, the stomp-stomp-clap is very easy for fans to participate in from their seats. It is all about intimidating and sending a message to the opponent that you are about to beat them, and the legendary Freddie Mercury’s voice is second to none. It is a classic and in my eyes, should be played at least once every game. Queen has a number of outstanding songs that could have appeared on this list, but I decide to choose “We Will Rock You” as the song to represent them. It was released around 40 years ago and is just as well-known today as it was back then. You would be hard-pressed to find someone that hasn’t heard the song.Įverything from the opening music, to the lyrics, to the ending is sure to get you excited for whatever is ahead of you. Made famous by Rocky III (as it was the theme song), Eye of the Tiger is a sensational pump-up song that has been used for all different types of sports and events and even political campaigns. It gets everyone excited and is something all fans find joy in participating in.
