The Greatest Sports Songs Of All Time – Culture Fix

One thing you can say about sports is that there have been many iconic moments over the years. And one thing you will often notice where said iconic moments are concerned is that music is usually involved. Songs have become synonymous with sports and sporting events, especially in the last couple of decades, and we’ve picked out some of the best of them below.

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

If you live in the United Kingdom and you’re a sports fan, you will undoubtedly have heard Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond blasting out, be it on television or at an event in person. It’s a track that’s synonymous with multiple sports, including football, but more recently, it’s become iconic in boxing. You’d always hear Sweet Caroline at Anthony Joshua fights, and now he’s set to return to action at London’s O2, where according to all the major online sports betting platforms, he’s favourite to win; so you can guarantee you’ll hear it post-fight.

We Are The Champions – Queen

Sweet Caroline, while you will often hear it belting out before and during sporting events, it’s often heard after one has finished when a team or individual has been victorious. And, We Are The Champions by Queen is another that falls into the category of the latter. When you win, when your team wins, and when you win something such as a league title or trophy, you want to tell the world about it, and this is the perfect track for it. As far as sporting clubs go, you could argue that this is a song most commonly used by Manchester United over the years.

Right Here, Right Now – Fatboy Slim

We’ve mentioned a couple of tracks that are perfect to hear and sing along to in victory, but sometimes you need a song that’s going to set the tone before the action begins and gets everyone pumped up and prepared. Right Here, Right Now, by Fatboy Slim, is arguably the perfect track for this. If you go to football matches in the UK, you will often hear this record, in particular, being played over the speakers just before kick-off, when everyone, including the players, are getting themselves ready to go out and get three points.

Sandstorm – Darude

We will finish with another track that falls into a similar category to Right Here, Right Now, by Fatboy Slim. Sandstorm, by Darude, is one of the most iconic trance anthems of all time. It’s one of those tracks that everyone has heard multiple times, and even though it’s decades old, it still has the same effect. The slow build-up that leads into a high-energy beat has again made it the go-to for many sports and teams, especially before the action begins and to celebrate a goal or something positive. Like Right Here, Right Now, you will also regularly hear Sandstorm before kick-off at football matches and as the players enter the field of play to get the action underway.
