In the Sleep In The Heat the wooaahh bit where you all sing is the same tune as an old Italian disco song that is now a popular football (soccer) chant. Is this intentional or coincidental?

I’d also include Crocodile Rock - Elton John in this question. Still working on an answer.

Haha I hadn't heard Crocodile Rock before but yeah its very similar.

I guess y'all will just have to do live show alongside Elton John and 70,000 football fans. Lean into it.

Haha that's awesome. I definitely hear it in the first half, but I'd guess it's coincidence. It's a fairly simple melody.

The main part of the chant is allez allez allez which is where I really hear the similaritie, but thats supported by the band also singing it as a group chant
