Following the Seahawks' epic win against The Saints on Saturday's wild-card game, Seattle's online community has been abuzz. First, there was the now-famous 67 yard Marshawn Lynch touchdown set to video game music. Then there was the shocking report that fans at Qwest Field erupted into cheers so loud during said touchdown that seismic activity occurred for 90 seconds. Now members of the Seattle music community are chiming in their support of the Seahawks in similar fashion to Macklemore's musical tribute to Dave Niehaus, granted both songs are very different in both structure and purpose.

Thanks to local rap duo T.N.T. (The Natural Truth) and Smiley G, the Seahawks now have their own anthem. The song, "Blue and Green" is a take on rapper Wiz Khalifa's hit, "Black and Yellow." The remix was created by Wael Abou-Zaki, the production director at Clear Channel Radio. Set to Khalifa's catchy beat, the song's chorus declares, "you know 'bout the team, everywhere we go, it's blue and green...holdin' it down for my city, if you with me scream, 'it's Seattle.'" The song aims to build spirit and fan unity for a team that was "underestimated but [still succeeded]." Click here to download the song, or view it on YouTube below.

There have already been a couple other versions of this song put out by BenniB and ThreeSixOde. You can take your pick as to which one serves as the best Seahawks anthem to blast on Sunday as they take on the Bears in Chicago for the NFC divisional playoff.
