American here. We use the “Let’s Go” variant, and not for any one sport in particular. It’s just kind of a generic “sports chant”
This it’s 4 quarter notes/ “Let’s go” followed by the first bar of this football chant.
Yep, American here as well. Can confirm.
We also say “Defense” at basketball games.
German here… Saw the rhythm, knew it was about football.
Ramones – Rock N Roll Radio
As an Argentine we don’t use that in football at all, we have our own types of rhythms because how you feel and fit rhythm in English for the most part doesn’t translate in Spanish, you either fall short or stay hanging or just doesn’t work at all so we have a different thing going on, so does Brazil and Uruguay.
Ooh that’s interesting
Easy Target by Blink 182 uses it too
I just know it as a basic rythym exercise
Definitely a baseball thing here in the states
In Russia we use it too
That’s also how my dad knocks at the door.
Basically anything that has two syllables can use this chant. I was actually thinking about it quite recently and wondering about its origins, so this is cool to know.
The cars- let’s go
Ending each chorus
American here; my high schools rival school (who are the bulldogs) will do this chant and say, “dog show” at the end. Didn’t realize it was a futball thing
S A T U R D A Y NIGHT!
The Pokémon Sword and Shield gym leader theme (which is based off of the UK) uses this rhythm!
I’m sure I’m in the tiniest minority here, but I instantly think of Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon from SNL’s “Dog Show” sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnAKK0FPFB0
This can also be heard in “avf” by Stromae
American here, this is also a nearly universally recognized rhythm for our football as well (and most other sports). Just without the England bit. Often replaced with chanting “Let’s Go” or some other more team specific chant, but is also often done without any vocal chanting; it can be replaced with stomps or claps on beat
Common in US baseball games. Also heard in the song “Centerfield” by John Fogarty.
“Ce n’est/qu’un début/continuons le/combat!”
It might also have to do with sports and sports chants, but in Israel nowadays we use this rhythm with our car horns whenever we pass protesters against the government in intersections to show support
In Canada we hear that at ice hockey games.
