We Got Spirit is a traditional American cheerleading chant used at school pep rallies, football games and basketball games for decades, usually led by cheerleaders in a call and response with the crowd. The full routine often continues with a challenge to the other side, which made it easy to copy, remix and parody. Clips of the chant spread online as a soundboard staple because the wording is instantly recognisable and works both sincerely for team hype and sarcastically when enthusiasm is clearly missing from the scene being shown.

Group cheer chant shouting 'we got spirit, yes we do' from school pep rallies and cheerleading, used for hype, team pride and ironic pep rally edits online.
A group of voices chants the classic pep rally call in unison, building energy with each repeated line and a bright, confident delivery. The rhythm is simple and loud, with the call-and-response structure making the words easy to join in with even on first hearing. It sounds earnest and upbeat rather than polished, like a sideline cheer captured during a school game. Played over a clip, it instantly adds team pride and playful confidence, turning an ordinary win, reveal or group entrance into a moment that feels celebrated and a little over the top.
