Your high school hype song
- Thread starter swagsurfer02
- Start date
class of ‘97… several options, but this one reigns supreme for hype. Good memories of locker room shenanigans after beating teams fall of ‘96.
Thunderstruck is the shit. It’s on many of my gym playlists. That intro…
Eye of the Tiger but that was our whole school due to the mascot. That was even in 03'.
My hype song changed on the sport. Soccer was hard rock. Basketball was rap. Don't know why...

If it was junior high, the song had to be “Duke of Earl” by Gene Chandler...but you said high school...then I was older and my tastes matured and I was into formal, trained professional voiceS"...My “go to voice” would be that of David Blatt, aka Jay Black of Jay and the Americans.
Currently, Black (and the Americans) are getting a lot of “you tube” love from Latinos who host “oldies” music. I am sure the Latino sound if “Come a Little Bit Closer” is a reason for the attention. However, the formally voice training Black received is most evident in his recording of “Cara Mia”….this is probably my “go to song” as a high schooler…Recorded in 1965, Black sang it forever as a “solo artist” at concerts. There is you tube stuff from him performing the song from 2001 and 2010 up they 2015 or so. His stuff from 2001-10 sounds better than when it was originally released in the mid-1960s.
The guy was a singing talent. I still enjoy “Cara Mia” to this day.

Lol. I still remember this as the first part of the warm up music for basketball.
No way Fiegel would have let us do it for football.
Yeah, Old Walter wouldn’t go for that. Usually it was some type of ACDC, Metallica etc….. which I didn’t mind during football season but we mostly played rap in the locker room for basketball
I remember asbestos everywhere, also, textbooks with classmates’ dads names written into the “This book belongs to . . . “ section. Oh, and Tractor Day. We definitely had Tractor Day.
