Tubthumping was released in 1997 by the British band Chumbawamba and became their biggest international hit, reaching the top of charts in several countries. Its chorus, built around getting knocked down and getting up again, turned a drinking song into a universal resilience anthem. It was widely adopted at sporting events and in films and television, and its hook later became a staple of rugby and other sports edits online, where the contrast between a heavy knock and the cheerful singalong makes the recovery feel triumphant.
