Songs that make you want to grow a set

Categories: Dig it Out!, Music, Sports

Kanye_lI’m not saying that the Super Bowl was decided the moment the teams took the field yesterday. But Kanye West’s "Stronger," which the Giants exited the tunnel to, definitely gets me more juiced than Ozzy Osbourne’s "Crazy Train," which played for the Pats.

What about you? What song would you (or do you) play when it’s your time to kick a little ass?

    In high school, my Volleyball team use to run out onto the court to Kid Rock’s Bawitdaba. Haven’t really listened to it since, but it still got me pumped for the game.

  • Eric Friedmann

    RUN TO THE HILLS by Iron Maiden!

  • Ceballos

    This post just reminds me of Homer Simpson coming out for a boxing match to “Why Can’t We Be Friends.”
    By the way, me and my girlfriend were recently just talking about this subject, only we were thinking about just general entrance music for when we arrive somewhere. She said she’d go with Beyonce’s “Ring the Alarm” (the alarm blaring at the beginning just sets the tone), and I’d come in to “No Chance In Hell”…Vince McMahon’s old music from about 9 years ago when I used to watch wrestling. (though he’s probably still using the same song now, assuming he’s still around).

    Nine Inch Nails – Head Like A Hole!

  • meredith

    Anything by Metallica. There Goes My Hero by Foo Fighters (reminds me of Varsity Blues…)

  • LadyTiger

    Thank you for naming that Ozzy song — my husband and I were both like “what is that song?”
    I like the Kayne Stronger choice. Although I can admit that my volleyball team used to practice with Bon Jovi at full blast — Living on a prayer was the best.

  • Leslie

    “The Final Countdown” by Europe. It could be a soccer match, tennis match, a game of jenga, or even just going for a jog. It gets me pumped every time.

  • Stephanie

    “Get Me Bodied” from Beyonce’s most recent album…I do not understand why this song was not a HUGE hit. I listen to it probably twice a day.

  • Goldilocks

    Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J.

  • amber

    Eye of the Tiger
    Survivor

  • jen

    Enter Sandman

  • 2Cents

    I thought the Pats came out that banging track by trick daddy and lil jon…”Lets Go! If you want it you can get it let me know…..
    Hotness…I immediately with to Itunes during the game put it on my amp mood set…..
    WHAT!!!

  • Sonia

    I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed this!!! The Giants were PUMPED up during “Stronger” and the Pats just sort of strolled out while their song played. I knew from that moment that the Giants were going to win.

  • Manuel

    “Kickstart My Heart”
    Motley Crue

  • Bertie

    How about that one song “I was feel like somebody’s waaaatching me…”?? hehe ;)

  • Bertie

    Yes it’s “always feels like….” but you get my point ;)

  • Cristina

    “Galvanize” by the Chemical Brothers.

  • Chris

    For sure it’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’. I had it mentally playing in my head when I took my ACTs in high school, and, look, I got a 34! It’s all because of the song!

  • Edman

    Come Back by Foo Fighters.

  • Cara

    Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter”.
    AC/DC’s “Back in Black”.

  • KateDFW

    Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva. That song just brings it!

  • Jenny

    Kick Some Ass – Stroke 9

  • Sara

    My dreams of being the world’s greatest track star ended quite a while ago, but I still regularly update my fantasy “coming out of the tunnel” songs. They include:
    Kanye West, “Stronger”
    Christina Aguilera, “Fighter”
    T.I. feat Jay-Z “Bring Em Out”
    T.I. “What You Know”
    Nas, “I Can”

  • SH

    “Motivation”- T.I.
    “Show Me What You Got”- Jay-Z
    “Hovi Baby” Jay-Z
    “Roc Boys” Jay-Z
    and…
    “Countdown” T.I.
    Did I mention that I’m NOT a guy?

  • Nathan

    A better song for New England would have been ‘I’m Goin Down’ by Bruce Springsteen. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger bunch of knobs (fans included).

  • kerry

    in high school i always dreamed of being the heat leader at a swim meet so that i could walk out before the finals to “i’m too sexy”

  • Martha

    “Brianstorm” by the Arctic Monkeys is pretty kickin’, as is anything by AC/DC. And “Tom Sawyer” by Rush. But what do I know? According to Nathan, I’m just a knob…

  • kate

    army of me by bjork.
    it helped me break up with a whiny boyfriend in college.

  • Sarah

    “We Run This” – Missy Elliott
    “Bring the Pain” – Method Man
    “Lady Venom” – Swollen Members
    “Fuel Injected” – Swollen Members
    “Born Too Slow” – Crystal Method

  • Miri

    Welcome to the Jungle is always a good one.
