Jon Fratelli (real name, Jon Lawler) is playing with his new band tonight in Chicago at the Metro, and though the Fratellis are, for the time, going off in their own directions, the band’s frontman is thoroughly enjoying the exposure the Blackhawks are giving the band.

Chicago plays the Fratellis’ “Chelsea Dagger” after every goal — which means that hockey fans are hearing the “doo do doo, doo de doo,” refrain a lot.

“You’re just happy for anyone to use something that you do,” Fratelli said in a thick Glaswegian accent by phone from Chicago on Sunday. “It’s really handy that they score so much.”

The Blackhawks aren’t the only sports team that uses “Chesea Dagger.” Celtic, the Scottish football (soccer) club also plays the song when the home team scores. That is much, much less frequent usage, however.
