Snooker Loopy by Chas n' Dave is the best sports song ever written. No questions asked.

Alex, you should do a list of the best obscure sports songs. Stuff about Snooker, Chess, Rugby, Futbol; Australian Rules Football, Hurling, Curling, Midget Tossing, etc.

There are loads of football ones... "Three Lions" is probably the most famous. One of the lyrics constantly change, yet everybody knows them! (The line "40 years of hurt relates to World Cup 1966, when England won. So at Euro 2008 it'll be "no more years of hurt" (to fit the syllables), but by Euro 2016 it'll be fifty of hurt... I'll get an associate to do that, he'll probably know a bit more about it.

How can Pressure by Billy Joel not be on this list. Come on now. Or how about We are the Champions by Queen?

Neither of them are about sports. They are played at sporting events, but they are not about sports. Pressure does have 1 line about baseball, but I don't think it is enough to make it about sports.

Sounds like Ian Dury and the Blockheads "Hit me with your Rhythm Stick", let alone a hockey song...

Thats another one I thought of. Its the theme to Rocky, but is it really a "sports" song? We need a vote on that one.

"Mrs Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel. "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you." Number 1 on my list, forgotten here though

That's a line from a song. Mrs. Robinson is certainly not a sports song.

"Hit Somebody!" (The Hockey Song) by the late, great Warren Zevon (from his penultimate album "My Ride's Here"; co-written with Mitch Albom and featuring David Letterman shouting the title during the chorus).

What about We Are the Champions or We Will Rock You by Queen? They're both sports songs and should be on this list, no doubt. And Eye of the Tiger is good too.
