Super Colossal is the eleventh studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on March 14, 2006 through Epic Records. The final track, "Crowd Chant", was originally going to be named "Party on the Enterprise", featuring sampled sounds of the Enterprise spacecraft from the Star Trek series. However, prior to the album's release, Satriani explained on a podcast that he was unable to acquire the legal rights to use the samples, choosing instead to replace them with his own sounds and rename the track.[2] "Crowd Chant"'s ending theme was inspired by composer Gabriel Fauré's "Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50".[3] The song is used by various American football and ice hockey teams upon scoring a goal at home games. It was later featured on the soundtrack to the 2009 video game NHL 2K10,[4] while a cover version appears in Madden NFL 11.[5]
