March Madness is a phenomenon that takes the nation by storm from the second week of March until the first week of April. Although Happy Valley won’t be watching its own team this year, Penn Staters will undoubtedly participate in some game day festivities, as well as debate over which team will ultimately come out on top.

No matter if you enjoy every second of it or despise it, viewing parties are always better with some great tunes to kick things off. Here’s your official March Madness pump up playlist.
