That iconic tune is actually by the band Steam. It was released back in 1969, and it's one of those tracks that just never seems to go away because it's played at almost every sporting event ever. The guys behind the songwriting were Gary DeCarlo, Dale Frashuer, and Paul Leka. It's funny how a song meant to be a B-side ended up becoming such a massive cultural staple.

I remember hearing it at a baseball game ages ago and thinking it was just a stadium chant, but it's pretty wild that it was a legitimate number-one hit back in the day. It has that classic late-sixties vibe that somehow fits perfectly whenever someone needs to be sent off. Definitely a catchy piece of music history that pretty much everyone recognizes the second they hear that chorus.
