If you tune into any urban radio station,

chances are you'll hear Wiz Khalifa's “Black and Yellow” at least

every hour. If you reside in Pittsburgh, you'll need to quadruple

that to about every 15 minutes. The track, which currently sits at

No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, has become the official anthem for

the Pittsburgh Steelers on their road to Sunday's Super Bowl XLV. But this

isn't the first time a sports team has adopted a banger to be their theme song

for the postseason. Sports x music fusions have a history of

rallying teams&#8212and sometimes making ears bleed (word to these clowns).

From Jim Jones' “Ballin'” to Sister Sledge's “We Are Family,”
