It was released under the Mercury subsidiary label Fontana and became a number one pop single on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1969, and remained on the charts in early 1970 . In 1977, Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust began playing the song when White Sox sluggers knocked out the opposing pitcher . The fans would sing and a sports ritual was born . The song's chorus remains well - known, and is still frequently used as a crowd chant at many sporting events . It is generally directed at the losing side in an elimination contest when the outcome is all but certain or when an individual player is ejected or disqualified . It has also been observed by crowds in political rallies to drown out and mock disruptive protesters who are being escorted out by security . </P> <P> Paul Leka, Gary DeCarlo and Dale Frashuer wrote a blues shuffle version of the song in the early 1960s when they were members of a doo - wop group from Bridgeport, Connecticut, called the Glenwoods, the Citations, and the Chateaus, of which Leka was the piano player . The group disbanded when Leka talked Frashuer into going into New York City with him to write and possibly produce . In 1968, DeCarlo recorded four songs at Mercury Records in New York with Leka as producer . The singles impressed the company's executives, who wanted to issue all of them as A-side singles . In need of a B - side, Leka and DeCarlo resurrected an old song from their days as the Glenwoods, "Kiss Him Goodbye", with their old bandmate, Frashuer . </P>
