While the advent of television and radio have brought fans closer to the Packers than before, it’s brought with it a slew of unintended consequences.

One of the most notorious is the concept of an earworm, when a jingle or song continues to repeat in your head long after you’ve heard it. Psychologists also refer to the condition as musical imagery repetition, involuntary musical imagery, or stuck song syndrome.

It’s why though it’s been years since you’ve heard the ditty for Chili’s baby-back ribs, you’re probably humming it in your head now.

Football teams got in the fun of producing earworm-inducing jingles or fight songs in the early years of their existence. Those songs are traditionally more closely associated with high schools and colleges like Notre Dame and Michigan, who have played the same song win or lose for decades.

Do the Packers have a fight or theme song?

Green Bay, Wisconsin carries with it the feel and size of a college town more than a major metropolis, and walking around Lambeau Field prior to a game can feel like a Saturday at university.

In 1931, the Packers completed their third-consecutive championship behind coach Earl “Curly” Lambeau. The season featured wins over teams like the Providence Steam Rollers, the Staten Island Stapletons and Brooklyn Dodgers.

Milwaukee native Eric Karll was working at the time as a composer for commercial jingles. Thanks to the success of his state’s football team, he lent his talents to compose a fight song for the Packers called “Go! You Packers Go!”

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here to yell for you

and keep you going in your winning ways



Hail, hail, the gang’s all here to tell you, too, that, win or lose,

we’ll always sing your praises



Go, you Packers, go and get ‘em

Go, you fighting fools, upset ‘em

Smash their line with all your might

A touchdown, Packers, fight! Fight! Fight!



Fight on, you blue and gold, to glory

Win the game, the same old story



Fight, you Packers, fight

and bring the bacon home

to old Green Bay
