The rhythm of that riff also suits a random stoppage that warrants an extra kick for the audience. Start at either the 44- or 58-second mark of the track’s five-minute, 14-second version, and you have enough riff to fill a goal’s afterglow before play resumes. Still, there is something about this largely instrumental mix that once upon a time closed out Side 1 of the Jock Jams Volume 4 cassette.

(It was Fatboy Slim’s only turn on the Now! That’s What I Call Music series and also on Jock Rock 2000.) That tune does not sound too out of place after a goal, and there is no denying its prominence in its heyday.
The AHL’s Manitoba Moose recently adopted Fatboy Slim’s magnum opus - “The Rockafeller Skank” - as their goal song. When professional, junior, and other elite ranks of hockey restore normalcy, any sound crew could cue up any of the following five, and its long-awaited turn would be its version of a long-awaited Cup raiser. With that said, there are still other tracks from that era still waiting for a big break. Many places that once took one of those trendy tunes have since experimented with a long-neglected ’90s hit. It stomps on in Boston like, well, the walking dead, but that’s about it. Zombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400” - released in Germany in 1999, but popularized stateside early in this century - has, for the most part, faded out too. We have come a long way from scoring plays cueing practically nothing but “Rock and Roll Part 2” (which has since been all but universally shelved for a good reason), “Song 2,” or the misused “Get Ready for This.” (Note to DJs: If it has “Get Ready” in the title, it probably makes sense for before the game, not during.) When done right, this trend of adopting hockey goal songs from the ’90s makes up for the general dearth of variety during that actual decade. These underrated ’90s hits are an untapped market for NHL goal songs For a quarter of a century, “Slapshot” by Madison Square Garden’s own Ray Castoldi has been synonymous with the Rangers. Meanwhile, one NHL franchise has never abandoned its custom-made goal song since its composition in 1995. Several teams at other levels have followed Anaheim and Philadelphia’s lead even after those franchises moved on to another goal tune.

Late in the previous decade, the Anaheim Ducks and Philadelphia Flyers recharged Pennywise’s “ Bro Hymn.” The 1991 punk rock song was 15 years old or more when continental TV audiences heard its hook ad nauseam during various playoffs of the late 2000s and early 2010s.

In 2015, the Buffalo Sabres epitomized the never-would-have-thought-of-it-but-I-love-it scenario with “ Let Me Clear My Throat.” They chose DJ Kool’s breakout tune nearly two full decades after its release through a fan vote, and it has stuck for five years since. While the Pittsburgh Penguins drew a tepid response, at best, with this past season’s switch to “Jump Around,” other selections have sat well. But for the generation barely old enough to remember when canned music became the norm at games, it is appreciable when arena DJs reach back into that era and lend a given tune a first or second wind of association with sports. Granted, plenty of more recent hits have assumed a position with a celebratory horn, which is fine. This century’s refreshingly widening array of high-profile hockey goal songs lends yet more evidence to the strength of ’90s nostalgia. “Let Me Clear My Throat” and “Jump Around” are two of several ’90s tunes that have gained a second wind as NHL goal songs, so why stop there?
