The Eagles don’t have an official victory song. ‘Blow the Whistle? That’s Gillie’s song, that’s not our song.’
The team has used DMX in their hype videos and when running out of the tunnel pregame this postseason, but that doesn’t seem to be their song either.
These Eagles love to groove. Post-NFC championship win, the Birds partied in the locker room with Gillie Da King to Too Short’s “Blow the Whistle,” and they’ve also used “What’s My Name” by DMX and a few other songs as hype up songs and victory celebrations.
But so far, nothing has become as ubiquitous as 2018′s “Dreams and Nightmares” by Meek Mill and 2023′s “Just Wanna Rock” by Lil Uzi Vert. And nothing anywhere close to the Phillies’ “Dancing On My Own” anthem.
With Super Bowl LIX just days away, the Eagles say they don’t have a song — and that’s just fine with them.
“I don’t really think we have a song,” defensive tackle Jordan Davis, a well-known dancer in the locker room, said. “We just kind of float between whatever the vibe is for the day. Sometimes it might be old school, sometimes it might be, rap, hip-hop, or R&B. It doesn’t really matter, but we don’t really have a song. Maybe we can find a song.”

Gillie Da King, a North Philly native whose real name is Nasir Fard, is a rapper, podcaster, and social media personality — and a huge Eagles fan. His videos dancing to “Blow the Whistle” regularly go viral, and he even brought his signature dance to the locker room a few times this postseason, including after the NFC championship game win.
The rapper also ran out with the Eagles ahead of the wild-card matchup with the Packers.
And the players love having him around.
“I don’t even know [how he got there],” Davis said. “He’s being there, though, that’s all I know! He’s great to have around. Man, he’s so fired up, he’s so passionate about the team, and it’s so cool to see him. The fact that he’s been around in the music industry, and him being a Philly native too. I’m sure it’s a dream come true for him as well.”
But despite their love for Gillie da King, the Birds were still reluctant to claim the song as “their song.” That still eludes them.
“‘Blow the Whistle?’” C.J. Gardner-Johnson said. “That’s Gillie’s song, that’s not our song. Whatever the guys put on, we play.”
