The old John Tesh NBA on NBC theme song is now being used by the Fox college basketball broadcast. Discuss.

That's one of the best sports themes ever, if not THE best.

2018 called. They want their realization back.


Also the song is called "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh and FOX bought the rights when they, in their infinite wisdom, realized NBC probably was never going to buy the rights to the NBA.

I don't watch college basketball so I just now noticed. It happened to come on after the Saints Vikings game and I became aroused.

I had this realization last year. I'm quite glad it's getting used in some way, shape, or form.

CBS NCAA basketball march madness is good but the NBA one is good. Primetime songs on espn are grand

Nick Saban shreds it on that guitar solo, but I guess the coaching thing worked out for him.

Real men love the mid-90s NFL on NBC theme by Randy Edelman.

I really wish NBC would have taken this thing and dusted it off instead of asking John Williams to compose a new one. I mean, the new one is fine and all, but it just feels so manufactured and stale with the newer "hardcore" version they've used for the past decade or so.

This theme from 95-97 is much more in line with a classic NFL Films-type soundtrack. It better illustrates the forward-moving progression of a game, and how all the moments from 1st through the 4th quarter make a larger narrative. It's a journey, not a stagnant declaration of INTENSITY INTENSITY OMG as they're showing the Cincinnati Bengals losing to the fucking Arizona Cardinals or some shit like that.

And it has MULTIPLE themes built in that you can use. The 3-note NBC jingle that got worked in, the hemiola gallop (at the 0:13 second mark, often used by NBC for scoreboard cutaways to commercial break), and the fanfare-type anthem that makes it all so memorable (at the 0:41 second mark). All of these are great segments, and you can pick and choose which ones are better at any one point when you need theme music.

I've talked about this before on CP, and I realize that I'm largely alone on this subject, but whatever. Maybe it reminds too many people of the playoff disappointments of the mid 90s. Who knows. Maybe if it had a longer lifespan, people would treat it the same way they do the other NFL themes, which also have been around when the Chiefs had have gone through playoff disappointments.

People will disagree with me, but I don't care. I know I'm right, and that's all I need.

It's very good. Sounds like it trails offa bit into something else towards the end. And CBS NCAA Football song is the best. MNF Theme's pretty good too. I don't know that I've really heard a bad sports show theme song

True story, Roundball Rock was originally composed by John Tesh and his brother Dave. Dave Tesh had originally written lyrics to the song but they were rejected when they pitched it to NBC execs.

Greatest sports music ever. NFL films Roundup. First 11 seconds are so awesome. Goes great with follies and bumblin and stumblin. This one is linebackers, including Lanier, DT and Bell, with horseface getting sacked a couple times.
