Super Sports Songs

Summer is in full swing, meaning your favorite sport song is heard at that baseball game, football camp, or sporting event. Here’s a few of our “Super Sports Songs.”

“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 home Virginia Tech 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.

“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. Recently the lead singer and writer of the song Gary DeCarlo has been battling cancer, with his friend and family staring a GoFundMe account to help pay for staggering medical expenses.

“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.
