Lee, the Packers have a tradition at Lambeau Field of playing the song "Band on the Drum All Day" by Todd Rundgren after every Packer touchdown. It seems to have become an unofficial Packer anthem. When did this tradition begin? I started noticing it in 1995, but it may have started much earlier. Any idea? - Dave, Racine, Wis.
Dave, just for the record, the name of the song is "Bang on the Drum All Day," substituting a 'g' for the 'd' in the note above. (I'm sure that was what was intended.) And, yes, I think you can safely say that it has become an "an unofficial Packers anthem." Mike McKenna, the coordinator of Packers game day entertainment at Lambeau Field confirmed your observation, also noting that it was 1995 that it made its debut at "Lambeau." "To my knowledge," he added, "we were the first team to play it. Since then, some high-powered offensive teams, such as the St. Louis Rams under Mike Martz and the Indianapolis Colts, have been playing the same song by Todd Rundgren, but they were copying us."
