In the English Championship Football League, what is the name of the song that plays when West Bromwich Albion enter? It is not 'Liquidator.'

It's called "Oh Fortuna" Well, there's been a bit of an assortment over the last few years. The reggae record that used to get played before kickoff was "Liquidator" by the Harry J. All-Stars, but it got removed from the play list because of complaints that the chanting that went along with it was likely to provoke disturbances. For a while, it was replaced by "Jump Around" by House of Pain, which featured lyrics such as "I never eat pork cos a pig is a cop" - clearly far more acceptable to the authorities.! We also sometimes play a piece of classical music - the one that they used to play during the Old Spice advert. It's called "Oh Fortuna" and it's from the opera Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Apparently one of Denis Smith's last actions as manager was to suggest that we tried to Spice up the players' entrance onto the pitch by playing something a bit more uplifting than we did previously. He was inspired by the excellent PA at Sunderland where they play a section from Romeo and Juliet, followed by Republica's "Ready To Go" - and everyone who's visited the Stadium of Light has come away impressed. Unfortunately, at the time, the manky PA system at The Hawthorns meant that the plan didn't worked quite as well... http://www.baggies.com/faq/ Feb 13 08, 2:25 PM
