"We were searching high and low for a goal song," Tom O'Grady said. "It was a little quirky, and it was certainly contagious. I really respect Blackhawks fans, and I wanted something uplifting that could be pretty organic once it got going."
It wasn't an immediate hit, however
"The first few games we were getting some pretty bad responses - we were like, 'We might not make it,'" O'Grady said with a smile. "(Hawks president) John McDonough has a great vision; he said, 'Let it roll for a while.'
"Now it's pretty contagious and people really like it and it's become our goal song - more by patience than design."
lifelong habs fan but i covet your goal song. great UNIQUE choice.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to admit, it's kind of catchy. I didn't like it at first, now it's a guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteGo Hawks!
Hockey fan down in Nashville, and I envy the Blackhawks goal song.. such an uplifting fun occasion... as a goal celebration should be! It sparks the fans with uplifting fever, which has the chance of igniting the 7th man.
ReplyDeleteI admit to belting out the Nashville Predators "I like it, I love it" but I could support the switch to something more lively and infectious. Go Blackhawks!
