===Team songs=== When Boston television station [[WSBK-TV]] began broadcasting Bruins games in 1967, [[The Ventures]]' [[instrumental rock]] version of the Nutcracker's overture, known as "Nutty", was selected as the opening piece of music for Bruins telecasts.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Story of the Boston Bruins |last=Nichols |first=John |year=2008 |publisher=Creative Education |isbn=978-1-58341-614-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AWPuTEO3UlEC&q=Nutty+Ventures+%22Boston+Bruins%22&pg=PT46 |access-date=October 15, 2020 |archive-date=February 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230215165425/https://books.google.com/books?id=AWPuTEO3UlEC&q=Nutty+Ventures+%22Boston+Bruins%22&pg=PT46 |url-status=live}}</ref> The song "Nutty" has been identified with the Bruins ever since. On ice, "Paree", a 1920s hit tune written by Leo Robin and Jose Padilla, has been played as an organ instrumental for decades, typically as the players entered the arena just before the start of each period and, for many years, after each Bruins' goal. It was introduced by [[John Kiley]], the organist for the Bruins from the 1950s through the 1980s.<ref>{{cite book |title=Boston Bruins: Greatest Moments and Players |last=Fischler |first=Stan |year=2000 |publisher=Sports Publishing, Inc. |isbn=1-58261-213-7 |page=237 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lgWQv1Bf-HAC&q=Paree+%22Boston+Bruins%22&pg=PA237 |access-date=November 6, 2016 |archive-date=February 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230215165420/https://books.google.com/books?id=lgWQv1Bf-HAC&q=Paree+%22Boston+Bruins%22&pg=PA237 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1998, the John Kiley rendition of "Paree" was dropped as a goal song; "[[Kernkraft 400]] (Sport Chant Stadium Remix)" by [[Zombie Nation (band)|Zombie Nation]] is the current one.
