We won the next game, we got a shutout, so we just kept on playing it.” Right there we decided we should play the song after our wins. ![]() ![]() … Everyone would get up and start singing and dancing. They played this song ‘Gloria’ a couple of times. “They had a DJ in the bar and whenever there was a commercial break, they would crank the tunes and all these guys from Philly would get up and start dancing around. “We got together with some friends and watched the game with a bunch of Philly guys who grew up there,” Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson said. The Blues, according to an NHL website story, glommed onto the song after a number of its players heard it repeatedly at a Philadelphia bar while watching the NFL Wild Card playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys in January. The song is currently featured in the trailer for Julianne Moore’s upcoming film “Gloria Bell.” In 2017, for example, it picked up steam after it was used in the film “I, Tonya” about the 1994 figure skating scandal involving Tonya Harding. Bayiokos, who is working on a screenplay about Branigan’s music career, says “Gloria” makes a comeback every few years.
