Day 7: A Song that Reminds Me of an Event

I was raised a Chiefs fan, with the exception of the one day we played the Dolphins during my "I'm going to be a marine biologist when I grow up" phase, in which case I rooted for Miami to the dismay of my mother. This year I'm also a fan of the Packers, mostly because I believe in Aaron Rodgers. But no matter who I'm rooting for (and it's usually my Chiefs), football has become an important part of my life.

There was a song I always heard parts of when I saw the games on television, and I never knew what it was. It was "that football song" to me and nothing more until Guitar Hero: World Tour finally washed away my ignorance. Someone played this song in my basement and I thought, "Hey, hey! It's that football song!"

"The Song they Always Play at Football Games"
Yes, that's the one. "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne. I apologize sincerely for my 18-year ignorance. The effect is essentially irreversible. Though I now know the title and artist of this song, and that it's plenty popular without the help of football, I will never be able to hear this song without thinking of football. And that's okay with me, because football is America.

    I've had the same experience with this song. I always knew it as being associated with football but never really knew what song it was or who sang it. Also I'm sure you've seen this but I think it's pretty creative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTA2CE8_KLk

    I had only seen part of that, but the extended version is cool! Stuff like this really helps me to appreciate the song outside of football.
