8 Soccer Pump up Songs
Music is something that is completely subjective, so the best soccer pump up songs will clearly vary massively according to each person’s opinion. If you are into rock music, for example, then you would pick different tracks to psyche yourself up with than a fan of techno. I’ve therefore made a list of 8 suggested songs- which you may or may not like. I’m sure these will be well worth checking out at least though.
One thing I think we can (largely) agree on is that motivational songs for soccer can be useful. 20th century business researcher and author Napoleon Hill reported that music was the 4th greatest stimulant of the human mind. Consequently it is unsurprising that high tempo tunes or lyrics that ‘connect’ with you personally, can serve to psyche you up and improve your performances in matches. Here is my list:
`
Techno and Dance
`
Scooter: Jumping All Over the World
How can you not like a fast-paced track with the lyrics: ‘every minute, every hour, got the power, take a shower’ ?!
`
Eric Prydz: Call On Me
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair- when working out and this video came on the TV- claims that he almost fell off the treadmill!
`
`
Rock
`
Bon Jovi: It’s My Life
Tell it to ‘em straight, take charge of your performance and ultra-motivate yourself with this great rock anthem.
`
Bon Jovi: Bounce
This is a somewhat less famous and popular option than It’s My Life, but it can also be a great rocking-out tune to get yourself in the mood for sporting action.
`
`
Europe: The Final Countdown
Legendary cheesey tune to get yourself going and into the groove….
`
Survivor: Eye of the Tiger
Quite simply, no list of motivational music would be complete without this classic.
`
`
Soccer
Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds: 3 Lions ’98
Well the value of this track depends very much on whether you are English! Still- if you are- then this will really get the fires of patriotism burning within you.
`
`
Arsenal: Hot Stuff
And again this very much depends on the club you support, but as an Arsenal fan myself I am duty-bound to include it! If you are too then why not inspire yourself with our greats of the past?
`
So what do you make of this selection of soccer pump up songs? I know that 8 different people could make their own list and most likely come up with all different songs. Still, maybe you’d like to give some of these a try before playing soccer to see if they can help get you into the best frame of mind for optimum performance.
Have fun,

P.S: Why not leave your list below?
I would add Devo “Whip it.”
I am making a video of pictures taken of kids ranging in age from 9-14 playing soccer for their parents. Do you have a song recommendation for that?
Thanks for the suggestion. For your video you could try ‘Boys are Back in Town’ by Thin Lizzy, ‘All together now’ by The Farm, or ‘We will Rock You’ by Queen. Alternatively, for a more soccer related theme, what about ‘Beautiful Goal’ by Paul Oakenfold, or ‘Cup of Life’ by Ricky Martin?
Of course it really depends on what music you like and what you think would ‘fit’ with the video. I hope these suggestions still might be helpful though. Cheers.
Wow, this can be a great blog which offer numerous information about music. I love music and this weblog helps me lot. Thanks on your value information. I’m very appreciate it.
You have a awesome blog! I will come back.
great post.
though I’d like to add “Don’t Speak (I Came to Make a Bang)” by Eagles of Death Metal. It’s from an old Nike Football commercial. Also, “Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja” and “For He’s a Jolly Good Felon” , both by Lost Prophets. Also “Stick ‘em Up” by Kwarashi, and “Make a Move” by Incubus.
cheers!
Hey, thank you for the additions. I especially liked the 2nd Lost Prophets tack: fantastic! I also checked out that Nike commercial you mentioned- some great stars and skills included there. http://bit.ly/aDqEAW
I guess at this time I should also mention the FIFA World Cup anthem, ‘Wavin’ Flag’ by K’NAAN.
Thanks!
