Chiefs’ fans put the new dance celebration on full display following the end of their 26-7 domination over the Dolphins.
As the Chiefs’ game-day staff started playing the song “Swag Surfin” by the Fast Life Yungstaz (also known as F.L.Y.), the entire stadium broke out into one of the biggest dance parties in the NFL. Popular pop star Taylor Swift’s presence and her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, also joined the rest of the crowd at the Arrowhead stadium.
Swag Surfin
“Swag Surfin” is a song that the Fast Life Yungstaz (or F.L.Y.) released as part of their debut album “Jamboree” back in 2009. Following its release, the song became a hit and even peaked at No. 62 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, the song has experienced a cultural renaissance, with various sports teams adopting it as an anthem. Aside from the Chiefs, several other NFL teams have used it in the past, including the Bears, the Saints, and more.
‘Swag Surfin’ as a Chiefs celebration
Kansas City initially started using the song as part of their celebration following a message from linebacker Willie Gay. Gay shared the message with a cameraperson on the sidelines during the team’s 25-17 win over the Bengals back in Week 17. He stated:
Pass the word up and tell them to play Swag Surfin, we really need that.”
Following the comment, the public address system at the stadium soon started blaring “Swag Surfin” from the speakers. This resulted in a massive dance party on the sidelines, which Gay led, alongside Travis Kelce and defensive end Charles Omenihu. Kelce shared about the celebration on the “New Heights” podcast saying:
It’s a classic man. I really want to say since I’ve been here, it’s been a huge fourth quarter, big-time moment, big-time like drive in the game for our defense, they play a highlight video that has fSwag surf’ on it as a song and it gets everybody hyped.”
How to swag surf
“Swag Surfin” is quite simple and the dance consists of a participant lunging alternatively to the right and left to the beat of the song. The lunging is done in both a smooth and vigorous fashion. Moreover, the person dancing can also have their arms around the other participants dancing depending on the version of the dance. Participants can also choose to use their arms to compliment the swaying motion of their lower body. When a large group of the audience performs the dance, it creates a wave-like motion within the crowd.

Swag Surfin lyrics
Given below are the full lyrics to the song:
Man I got that swag
My hat matches my bag
You know I’m popping tags
‘Cause man I got that swag
Man I got that swag
My hat matches my bag
You know I’m popping tags
‘Cause man I got that swag
I’m on Hypnotic, exotic
This Polo on my body
Got a bad girl beside me
And her friend right behind me
And I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
On Patron, yeah I’m gone
Purple by the zone, yeah I’m smoking strong
And you know I’m gone
Cause I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
Okay I pop off in the club with a pocket full of bands
Big stupid fresh like I’m wrapped up in Saran
Swag super cool, blowing strong like a fan
And my chain shining hard it just gave my neck a tan
Pockets on Popeye cause they swoll of that spinach
Peachtree swag you can call me Mr. Lenox
Bottles in my hand, putting on just like cable
Surfing off the stands like a young Kelly Slater
I swag when I surf
I swag when I surf
I swag when I surf
Now watch me surf and swag
I swag when I surf
I swag when I surf
I swag when I surf
Now watch me surf and swag
Swagging in the club, you gon’ see me throwing money up
Catch me with a bad chick and all her friends as fine as her
Drinks, we gon’ pour them up
Exotic, what we rolling up
Patron, Goose, or Hennessy
They got it, I’mma drank it up
I’m always wearing Polo
N— I’m Ralph Lauren mascot
Cake on debit I don’t hesitate to cash out
Paint John Stephenson, the black and blue Jag out
Pockets on half-time, I’m always bringing bands out
I’m on Hypnotic, exotic
This Polo on my body
Got a bad girl beside me
And her friend right behind me
And I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
On Patron, yeah I’m gone
Purple by the zone, yeah I’m smoking strong
And you know I’m gone
Cause I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
When I hit the club, it’s like I gotta catch a wave
Boogie-board shawty, got me surfing off the stage
Purp’ got me geeked, smoking something like an Eddie Bauer
And I’m surfing like I’m Otto cause I got that Rocket Power
Gon’ on Patron, taking shots like a camera
Flat screen, shawty, man I’m surfing like a channel
Paper towel money, man I’m all about my count
And I’m screaming cowabunga while y’all boys wiping out
Got this Polo on my body with a Zach Morris swag
Yea Purple Label man go and check the tags
Went and got the shoes so you know I got the bag
Clean just like dish detergent with a Tide color swag
Chain swinging hard like a boxer throwing punches
Pappadeaux shawty, all on them sack lunches
I’m in the party surfing like I’m standing on a wave
Shawty check my dougie like she Patty Mayonnaise
I’m on Hypnotic, exotic
This Polo on my body
Got a bad girl beside me
And her friend right behind me
And I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
On Patron, yeah I’m gone
Purple by the zone, yeah I’m smoking strong
And you know I’m gone
Cause I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m swagging, I’m surfing
I’m clean like dish detergent
