Ormond Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 After hearing Chelsea Dagger from the Fratellis 400 million times on the radio over here the last year(It's the Chicago Blackhawks ice hockey team's anthem here), it got me wondering. What songs stick in your mind which can be connected to a sport? Whether it's Fleetwood Mac and The Chain or Snooker Loopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Bryan Ferry, Driven by you. Sure it was used on sky's early days football coverage on Sunday's. I may not be correct though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford did sponsor Sky Sports fitba' I think back then. Except, it was Brian May's song Edited March 23, 2016 by Ormond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 "Yma O Hyd" (Still Here) Stirring and very angry Welsh folk song about their nation, language and culture's fight to survive. Sung by fans of Wales, Wrexham FC and Scarlets RFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not be correct though. When I think of Scottish fitba on sky, I always think of Inside by Stiltskin, which was the theme tune for a while. I now hate 7 nation army by the white stripes. It's been done to death in fitba across Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocky Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 i am far from being a Hibbie, as are most However, SUNSHINE ON LEITH is magnificent and unique to Scotland could we not change a wee word or twa to make it a Scotland Song instead of a Hibbie Song;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 ELP - Fanfare for the Common Man was the theme tune for the scottish news, maybe reporting scotland? I only vaguely remember it so it must have been late 70's, early 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
