"Five in a Row" was a song released in advance of the 1982 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final to celebrate Kerry's imminent winning of five consecutive titles. The Irish Times has described it as "infamous". The song's chorus features such lines as: "Five in a row, five in a row, never again will there be five in a row" and "It's hard to believe we've won the five in a row". Radio Kerry played the song in September 2018 when the county minor team did what the 1982 team could not.
