intro music

I once covered a high school whose girls basketball team came out to Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty." Probably the first time I felt old and out of touch. I mean, who comes out to THAT?!
 
Money For Nothing might work. About two minutes to introduce the lineup, then the guitar starts.
 
Philadelphis 76ers have a cool warm up song "Right here Right Now" by Fatboy Slim. My high school team used this one as well as "Welcome to the Jungle".

Thunderstruck is always a good one.

But if it is basketball, it's always a good idea to choose rap. I know a couple teams that use "Till I Collapse" by Eminem.

Well, the other alternative was Warrant's "Cherry Pie"
 
"The Ox" by The Who was theme to All Star Wrestling on CHCH from Hamilton on Saturday afternoons for years.

Time - Pink Floyd

I wanted to pull the trigger on that one, but given the amount of time the clocks, bells, whistles and such were going, my concern is that too many wouldn't get it.

It could work, though. And for those who would get it, it belongs.

Good intro for football.

I used to intro basketball to an edited version of "Run Like Hell."

Especially appropriate for a Clippers or Grizzlies game.
 
Use the "Requiem For A Dream" theme. Though, it's starting to become a bit cliche for basketball.

 
This is way too easy




Saliva. Ladies and Gentlemen. Designed to be an intro song

Leave it to the old man to come up with the right song. You're welcome, bydesign
 
Back when I had Coyotes season tickets they always skated out for the third period to "Machinehead" by Bush.

Seemed like an inspired choice.

 
Some more modern stuff:

My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na


Lil' Wayne ft. Drake - Right Above It


Juelz Santana - Second Coming

T.I. - Bring 'Em Out (saw a couple colleges use this one)


Fort Minor - Remember The Name (NBA used it in commercials a couple years ago)


Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil' Wayne - Let It Rock


Archie Eversole - We Ready
 
Honestly, I would ask the team to give you a list to pull from. Let us know what they gave you as options.

Is this an inner city school or one in the burbs?

I heard some cool Cold War Kids and Tilly and the Wall on the way to work this morning, but I am curious to hear the taste of the players.
