There are two songs from this era which remind me of the 2021-22 Cincinnati Bengals.  The first is “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John from 1983 because no one expected the Bengals to get this far.  Also, I believe this song especially applies to Joe Burrow, Larry Ogunjobi, and now CJ Uzomah as they recover from injury.  

The next song went through my head all through the playoffs as it is basically an elimination tournament: “Sole Survivor” by Asia from 1982.  Are these lyrics perfect for the Bengals or what?

And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
Just keep on burning right to the end

It's like the guy just wills it into existence. He wants it, expects that it will happen, and, allows the Universe to manifest his desire. And his attitude seems to rub off on his teammates.
The guy has won our hearts and , I tell you, he CAN do magic !!!

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you


I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt


You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

The theme throughout the song:
Those were good times
These are good times
We'll be having good times
The maker of this video is a Van Halen fan paying tribute. Kind of sad in a few parts with the passing of Eddie.




Time rolls on
And that's as it should be
Here and gone
Seems to move so quickly

Man, we was happy in our restless hearts
It was heaven right here on Earth
Yeah, we were laughin' as we reached for the stars
And we had some for what it was worth

Those were good times
Damn good times
Those were good times
Damn good times

Hey, take a look at this picture
Can you believe that was you?
And who's that standin' there in the corner?
Not me
Ahh, the crazy things we used to do

Sure, we was acting like a couple of kids
Good to remember, you know that it is
I still feel it like the sun on my skin
Maybe that's better

'Cause these are good times
Damn good times
Talkin' 'bout good times
Damn good times

So it's one for the money - 31 years! Raiders
But that don't make the show, no no - Titans
Count to three and I'll be ready, yeah - Chiefs
To follow that road, yes I will - To the Super Bowl

I see it comin', yeah, and this one is ours
We got heaven right here on Earth
Ain't nothin' like it when you're reachin' for stars
And you grab one for what it is worth - or you can grab two if you get the chance

You can tell 'em
We'll be having good times
Damn good times
I'm talkin' good times, yessir
Damn good times

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, good times
Mmm, mmm, mmm, good times
Mmm, mmm

I am pretty sure people have already mentioned the Rocky song Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. 

This song came immediately to my mind when seeing this thread.
