It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Pittsburgh Year again, and a couple of local bands -- one quite seasoned, the other more of an up-and-comer in the game -- have brought out Steelers fight songs to get you stoked for Saturday's game against Those Damn Ravens.

KardaZ -- about whom I wrote a couple years ago, when the Penguins were headed for a Cup win -- is back with another Steelers fight song, based on the Ghostbusters theme, called "Go Steelers." I mean, yes, it's basically just a list of the names of the people on the team -- and poor Matt Spaeth barely makes the fadeout -- but COME ON, it's a Steelers song. Download it here.

The second entry is from Gene the Werewolf, the local Punchline-etc.-related outfit that Aaron wrote about last spring. It's ... well, it's an update of the Steelers Polka! It doesn't really sound like Gene the Werewolf. Except it is! Here: Download it!

Enjoy the game, and maybe check out one of these local shows that come recommended:
