First Quarter:Louis Armstrong, "When the Saints Go Marching In"
Chicago Bears Shufflin' Crew, "Super Bowl Shuffle"
Second Quarter:
Mel & Tim, "Backfield in Motion"
Terry Bradshaw, "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry"
Third Quarter:
David Geddes, "The Last Game of the Season (Blind Man in the Bleachers)"
Jim Weatherly, "The Need to Be" (Weatherly was an All-American Ole Miss QB before writing hits for Gladys Knight & the Pips and others; this was his only hit for himself, and damn, I can't find a YouTube clip of it)
Fourth Quarter:
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson, "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys"
Deion Sanders, "Must Be the Money"
ETA: Mike reminded me of a great one I omitted. We'll make it the OT track:
Michael Henderson, "Wide Receiver". But really, it deserves a post of its own someday.

Well, the less said about David Geddes' lump of rancid treacle, the better.
But for Weatherly/Pips you could easily have substituted Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me", written by onetime Bengals lineman Mike Reid.
What, no "Wide Receiver"? :-)
Ack! I totally forgot about "Wide Receiver"! Consider it the OT track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPjQd3TPYCA
(And thanks for the info on Reid; I didn't know that.)
The Super Bowl Shuffle is truly one of the worst songs of all time. It is an insult to bad songs, only barely sustainably for it kitsch value and unintended comedy (which nevertheless cannot sustain me through the end).
