Alright guys, I asked about this last year too so I apologize for the repeat, but I'm hoping people may have heard some new songs over the past year...
I'm working on DVDs for the graduating seniors of the hockey team I follow...the DVDs are basically just a slideshow of photos set to music, so there are 4 songs, one for each year they've been here. I'll probably keep most of the same songs I used last year, but I wouldn't mind finding at least ONE new one to mix it up a bit.
What I really want is some sort of sports-related song (or at least something that could be seen as sports-related) with a sort of "woohoo we try our best and never back down and just generally kick a large quantity of ass" message to it. Think "For the Love of the Game" by Pillar - that one's pretty much perfect. Bon Jovi's "Bounce" and "Everyday" both work well (these are all things I've used in the past or am currently using). Cake's "The Distance" would be great if it wasn't so obviously about another sport...although I'm tempted to use it anyway.
I could also use a generally nostalgic sort of song ala "Good Riddance" if I found something perfect...I have a couple already so I'd rather find a new sporty song instead, but if you have some idea of a fantabulous nostalgic song, lemme have it!
I'm sure there are songs out there somewhere that would be just perfect...there must be some little band with a song that would just be great for this.....problem is, I just don't know 'em. So that's where you all come in - since I don't know anybody else who knows music as well as you guys do, especially the smaller local bands that most people wouldn't know. Sooooo any suggestions??

"Live To Win" - Motorhead
You know you can't be hurt, You gotta believe in your star, They'll always treat you like dirt, They can only push you so far, They can't take it away, If you've got something to say, They might try and fence you in, But you've only gotta Live To Win I know it's hard, a natural drag, It's a hassle to fight, If you don't wanna be a slag, If you believe you're right, They've got the power now, But soon it's our hour now, We all know where we been, We all been Living to Win
You mustn't shout it out loud, Don't create a scene, Don't indulge in being proud It only feeds their scheme, Break down the wall, Live it up it's their time to fall, Anarchy is coming in, If you know we Live To Win
"The Game" - Motorhead
It's time to play the game... Time to play the game! hahaha
It's all about the game and how you play it. All about control and if you can take it. All about your debt and if you can pay it. It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.
I am the game, you don't wanna play me. I am control, no way you can change me. I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me. I am the pain and I know you can't take me.
Look over your shoulder, ready to run. Like a good little bitch, from a smokin gun. I am the game and I make the rules. So move on out here and die like a fool. Try to figure out what my moods gonna be. Come on over sucker, why don't you ask me? Don't you forget that the price you can pay Cause I am the game and I want to play....

"Give Us A Goal" - Slade
Let's go
Let's go
Let's just call a whip off A drink before the kick off Get in the mood for Saturday's game
Five to three they zip on The lads have got the strip on We're gonna thrash you ain't that a shame
We'll beat ya defeat ya We're ready to roll Stop your fancy fooling 'round and give us a goal
We'll chase ya then race ya You can't catch a cold Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal
Give it to the winger All the crowds a singer We're gonna take the top off the stands
Rattling there rattles Then powerful in their tackles Get together clapping your hands
We'll beat ya defeat ya We're ready to roll Get the ball into the net and give us a goal
A blaster right past ya You're losing control You're playing now with two left feet and they've got a goal
Break
Let's Go
Hear the crowds a howling Hey did ya see the fouling The ref needs specs he's deaf dumb and blind
Shoot you silly fool Ok now show 'em we rule The goalie's sat down on his behind
We'll beat ya defeat ya We're ready to roll Come on the lad now no mistakes just give us a goal
We'll skin ya we'll win ya Cos we're back in control Come on the lads you got it made now give us a goal
We'll chase ya and we'll race ya Cos they can't catch a cold More more shoot score give us a goal
"Ten Thousand Fists" - Disturbed
Survivor Survivor
One more golly gee day when I know what I want And my want will be considered tonight, considered tonight Just another day when all that I want Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
[Chorus] People can no longer cover their eyes If this disturbs you then walk away You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of Ten Thousand fists in the air
Power un-restrained dead on the mark Is what we will deliver tonight, deliver tonight Pleasure fused with pain this triumph of the soul will make you shiver tonight, will make you shiver tonight, yeah
[Chorus]
We are the ones that will open your mind Leave the weak and the haunted behind [4x]
[Chorus]
Ten Thousand fists in the air Ten Thousand fists in the air
"Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)" - Warren Zevon
He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline He started playing hockey by the time he was nine His dad took the hose and froze the back yard And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard He grew up big and he grew up tough He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks But he wasn't that good with a puck
Buddy's real talent was beating people up His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites He must have racked up more than three hundred fights A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon Son, we've always got room for a goon"
There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared When Buddy the goon came over the boards "Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals" The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role, The fast guys get paid, they shoot, and they score Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for
Protection is what you're here for Protection--it's the stars who score Protection--go and kick somebody's ass Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears Blood on the ice ran down through the years The king of the goons with a box for a throne A thousand stitches and broken bones He never lost a fight on his icy patrol But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal He just wanted one damn goal
There were Swedes at the the blue line Finns at the red A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head Brains over Brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
In his final season, on his final night Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot Twenty years of waiting went into that shot The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too And coldcoughed Buddy on his followthrough The big man crumbled but he fell all right 'Cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light He saw that heavenly light
There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Take care of your teeth--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, some of those sound like definite possibilities, I'll have to check 'em out.
I never knew there was a band called the Hanson Brothers! ;D If "The Hockey Song" is the old classic ("oh, the good old hockey game is the best game you can name") then it might be a bit overdone for this, but I'll have to look into their other songs. Seems like they might be a bit tricky to find, though....gonna take some sleuthing!
