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.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

What With DaHawks Rolling: "Chelsea Dagger"-- Part 1
This is probably the kiss of death which will cause the first regular time loss, but I came across this entry material in my notebook, written back in 2010 when the Black Hawks won the Stanley Cup.
From Wikipedia.
The song they played after every goal was "Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratelli's. I'd never heard it before then, but quickly grew to really like it. The song is played after Black Hawk goals. I liked the one Vancouver player, who after they were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by the Hawks, was asked what he thought about the song, well, refrain. He said, "That song, I hate it."
I remember looking all over for it, but being unable to find a copy. For some reason, every store around Chicago was sold out. We were on a drive to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri and the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, Missouri, before hooking up with the Illinois Route 66 Motor Tour, when I finally found it in a used CD store in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Played it the rest of that day, which proved to be when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup. Watched the game in several lake of the Ozarks places. The locals could have cared less since their hockey team wasn't in it, but, we were heard and did a lot of "Chelsea Dagger" for their benefit.
