10 Songs About Wrestling You Need To Hear

5. Alexa Bliss - Bowling For Soup

Some of the entries on this list are, at heart, a subtle nod to a favoured wrestler. Some go deeper than that though, and explore deeper social or philosophical themes using a wrestler as a jumping-off point (nods knowingly in the direction of 21 Savage).

In Bowling for Soup’s case, they use Alexa Bliss as a lyrical device to, I presume, forget they’re all well into their 40s and live out some sort of horny, pre-teen, Weird Science fantasy in which the only word that they can rhyme with Bliss is, in fact, Bliss.

The video is immensely weird and shot with the same visual style that Apprentice candidates use to knock out adverts for hair-brained products. While the chorus is, undeniably, banging, whatever Bliss got paid for this probably wasn’t enough.
