Let's talk about the changes in the Monday Night Football theme
SNR, I'm looking at you. No one else on this board can analyze music the way you can. Get in here and give us an expert's insight.

This is the original Monday Night Football theme. It is gorgeous. Perfect. The middle of the song (1:00-1:28 or so) is a bit cheesy and the 70s really start to creep in, but this is a GREAT song. Timeless.



Now we have the first alternate MNF theme. This started to be played on MNF starting in 1989.



This is clearly, at it's core, the same piece of music, but it's been slightly updated. It's just a little punchier. There's a little beat behind it. Synthesizers start to creep in, as the effects of the 80s take hold. It's still awesome, though. If you're a bit younger, like me, this is probably your favorite version, especially as it played during the 90s Chiefs MNF games.

Now we have the version ESPN started running when they got the rights in 2006.



WHAT THE **** IS THIS SHIT? The clear, distinctive tones and melodies have been compressed and over-bassed. It's like someone watched a bunch of Hollywood trailers with their BWAAAAAAAM notes and decided the MNF theme needed to get as close as possible.

This isn't a piece of music. It's a bastardization. It's like someone took the original MNF theme, played some thrashing guitars behind it, sank the recording studio underwater, and recorded what a garbage scow heard passing by. THIS IS SHIT. IT'S TRASH. IT'S SACRILEGE.

**** YOU ESPN. You gave the MNF theme a concussion.

Thoughts?

Additional evidence: the NFL killing off the unique Super Bowl logos for those bland as **** Lombardi-trophy chic logos.

Yeah, who really wants to listen to all this timbre depth? Too complicated! Simplify it down! You're going too fast! Take this studio recording and synth the shit out of it pronto!

^^^^ The section from :19 to :29 is very nice. I can actually hear what I think are flutes in the latter half.

This is a ****ing muddled mess.

What's next? Are they going to take John Williams' theme for the Olympics that's been going strong for 30+ years and add electric guitars and shit to it? After all, you gotta modernize stuff if you want the dumbass common man to connect to your product!

****ing reeruns.

I don't love berman much, but I wish berman and the white black guy with prime time music would do highlights until they both die of high blood pressure

In the meantime, this is my opportunity to say yet again that the NFL on NBC theme in the mid-90s is my #1 favorite network sports theme.

It's gorgeous. It's hopeful. Positive. Why does football have to be this high-tension shit bass drum crap? This NBC theme elevates football to a more noble character. Your team could suck absolute shit, but with this theme playing in and out of commercial breaks, you never feel like your team can't pull off the incredible and get a gritty W.

I don't care if he only does shit movies and composes with a goddamn casio keyboard. Randy Edelman is a goddamn genius.

That is a real snoozer.
