“In the Air Tonight” Among the Greatest Songs of All-Time; Long History with Football
Rolling Stone named “In the Air Tonight” one of greatest songs of all-time and its relationship with football is deep, having been cited in the past and present as a song that helps players shift their mindset to prepare to compete.
“It was fascinating to me to see how one song could get you in that mode to go kick some tail,” said two-time Super Bowl champion and Steelers legend Hines Ward in an ESPN feature about the song, which was played by Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin the night before Super Bowl XLIII.
Added Washington Commanders Terry McLaurin in same feature, “I don’t care if you are the home team, the away team, you are hearing that song no matter what (before the game).”
Further examples include soundtrack to hype songs, multiple players speaking to its impact and inspiration for Hall of Famer Ray Lewis.
