"Shipping Up to Boston" is a Celtic punk song by the Dropkick Murphys, released in 2005 on the album The Warrior's Code. It gained worldwide fame after featuring prominently in Martin Scorsese's 2006 film The Departed, set in Boston, where it underscored gangster montages and trailer cuts. The song's driving bagpipes and shout-along chorus made it a staple of sports broadcasts, especially for Boston teams, and a go-to punch-up cue in internet edits celebrating Irish heritage, bar brawls and underdog victories.
