We associate certain songs with certain things. I am going to talk about the association of music with athletic events. I will start with the Boston Red Sox. they always sing sweet caroline at Fenway, and every single Sox fan associates Sweet caroline with Fenway and their favorite team. For the Florida gators they sing "We are the boys from ole florida" This brings the fans in and everyone sways back and forth. it is tradition and makes the fans feel apart of the teamFor the orlando magic the play the superman theme song when dwight howard makes a great play. the play this song because dwight howard is also known as superman. This makes me smile and laugh but sometimes i do think he is superhuman he is just a specimen. You will hear "We will rock you" at sporting events. It brings the fans into the game and makes them feel apart of the game.
In sporting events the music ads to the entertainment. That is what professional athletes are. They are performers. They are putting on a show to entertain us and the music enhances the entertainment. We have paid to be entertained. You will generally hear the new pop music. We get the halftime show where the bands come out and perform. You have the seventh inning stretch and sing take me out to the ball game. Sports is constant and will always be. and so is music.
Haha so I used "We Will Rock You" in my blog too for this one. It definitely allows the fans to feel like they are playing a part in the game somehow.
ReplyDeleteSports would definitely be lacking something without music involved. It's used to get both the players and the audience psyched.
