Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Back to Chelsea Dagger and the Blackhawks

From Wikipedia.

I had never heard of this song before 2010, but sure like it now.

A trio considered a Scottish alternative rock band.  Chesea Dagger was released May 28, 2006 from their debut album Costello Music.  We used to hand out at a place on the Chain of Lakes here in Illinois called Costello's.

The song was supposedly named after John Fratelli's wife, Heather, a burlesque dancer (as featured in the video?)  Her stage name was "Chelsea".  The song also might possibly have been a play on Brittney Spears.  The song peaked at #5 in the UK.

It became popular with soccer fans and played at those events.  And then, rugby picked up on it.

It is played at home games for the Chicago Blackhawks after every goal and win, only the fans change the verse to "Bring your goalie over here--let us score on him just for the hell of it!!"  It is also played by the Washington Capitols.

The Tampa Bay Rays baseball team featured it when runs were scored in the 2009 season and Baltimore Orioles use it for home runs.
