Song:Kernkraft 400

Here's a song you may have heard at a sporting event. But you don't know the title of the song or the name of the artist. Kernkraft 400 was an international dance club hit in 1999. It's become a cash cow for German DJ Florian Senfter AKA Zombie Nation. He also calls himself John Starlight and Splank!. Senfter is from Munich, Germany. He is mostly a remix guy. Kernkraft 400 appeared on a 1999 EP credited to Zombie Nation. After it was a hit in Europe, the record reached #2 on the British Singles chart. Then it crossed the pond and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles chart. After that the song became a sports anthem. It was first used by the Chicago Rush Arena Football team. Then it migrated to NHL, NBA and NFL teams. The song is normally played during time outs and commercial breaks. But remember every time the song is played Senfter's cash register rings. So the money is still rolling in. Teams that have used Kernkraft 400 include the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Dodgers, Penn State football, Welsh soccer and plenty more. Kernkraft 400 was number eight in a top ten sports anthems list done by Sports Illustrated in 2015. You can get it on the 2003 Zombie Nation album Leichenschmaus which is available as a digital download. Florian Senfter continues to do remixes. He has released five albums as Zombie Nation. Here's the video for Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation. That is Senfter playing the host in the video.
