"Crush 'Em" is a song by American heavy metal band Megadeth and the lead single from their eighth studio album, Risk.

Upon hearing the song, Goldberg, a big Megadeth fan, spoke with officials of his employer, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and convinced them to have the band perform it live on the July 5, 1999 edition of Monday Nitro.

Mustaine, a black belt and fan of the NHL's Arizona Coyotes, has described "Crush 'Em" as Megadeth's official sports and wrestling anthem.

He wrote the song primarily as a hockey theme and said that he was "sick of hearing Gary Glitter's 'Rock and Roll Part 2' every time someone scored a goal."

"[6] After offering the Coyotes severals songs that they declined to use, the band decided to give "Crush 'Em" directly to the NHL, which chose to use it on the JumboTron screens the following season.

Directed by Len Wiseman, it was coincidentally filmed in the same Water & Power building as "Hangar 18,"[8] and the video bears a post-apocalyptic, industrial wasteland setting reminiscent of its predecessor.
