Some songs are forever tied to certain sporting teams and stars.
Take Harry J. and the Allstars' ska anthem "The Liquidator"—instantly recognizable as the tune that accompanies Chelsea FC's entrance at Stamford Bridge. Or Motörhead's "The Game," famously used as the entrance theme for WWE legend Triple H.
