If you Google "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night," the theme song used by the NBC network prior to the weekly prime time football game, Carrie Underwood is credited as the artist.
According to an article on reference.com, the first performer to lay down the theme was P!nk, followed by Faith Hill.
This is likely accurate, as the version P!nk sang mentions "Manning vs. Manning," the sibling rivalry betwixt Peyton and Eli that took place on September 10, 2006, when the Indianapolis Colts squared off against the New York Giants. IMdB shows that the series made its debut in 2006.
On the same date four years later, Atlanta, Georgia country duo Sugarland played the song before a live audience on The Today Show.
Football fans showed up in their gear, including, inexplicably, someone supporting the Tennessee Titans.
Happy Superbowl Sunday! Fly, Eagles, Fly!
