Will the Spurs use "Ya'll ready for this?"

[50 cent]

or will they finally update the intro music a new song that came out after 1990?

What song would you want them to use if they do make a change?

[ShoogarBear]

If they change songs, and then suck this season, I'm coming after you.

[davi78239]

They need to change that shit because it's freakin old as hell!! Put on a modern hip hop or rock song at least.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I vote for the theme song from Knight Rider. It's just so cool. And as an added bonus Dirk will then be distracted by visions of Hasselhoff whenever he plays in the AT&T Center.

[midgetonadonkey]

I hope they keep it. I really get pumped up every time I hear it. It's so full of energy.

[50 cent]

I used to want the use Nelly's "The Grind", but now it's probably getting too old. I agree we need some new rap/hip hop intro song.

I didn't care too much for Miami's Bring 'em out. I will have to think about it.

I actually like the Maverics intro song - The Who - Eminence Front.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I think they should use it and break out the old AJ video when the Mavs come to town...

:lol

And while we're on the music the Spurs use, I've still never learned the name of that instrumental up-tempo thing that the crowd always sings along with. Although I think I did hear once that it was by Kraftwerk. Any ideas? That damn song always gets stuck in my head when I hear it.

[flipcritic]

Personally, I would love to use "Vespertilio" from the BATMAN BEGINS soundtrack. Dark, chilling, and powerful. I doubt though that would appropriate for an NBA game intro though. But that's just me. :D

[zero signal]

Cowboys from Hell by Pantera would be pretty cool.

Or at least the intro: "we're taking over this town" + opening riff

[theroc5]

lil flip game over?

[jn77]

Yes the song is old, but alot of old songs still get me pumped up. This song is one of them. Everytime i play it (I am a DJ) I still get reved up for basketball!!
Don't change the song, just get ready for this!

[MajorMike]

How about Final Countdown by Europe? That would be new.

[jn77]

That's a late game song, when the game is on the line. Get ready for this is a fire you up song, Final countdown is a "don't give up" song.

[sa_butta]

Ive been "ready for this" song to change for years, but I believe it will be the same this season.

[Drachen]

Zombie Nation by KernKraft 400
easy to get them mixed up with Kraftwerk (except for music styles).

[my2sons]

well i sure hope thats the biggest complaint of a new season, because if the worse part of a season is the intro song, then play it while we lift another trophy...when that happens i'll love ready for this all over again.

[CubanMustGo]

We need a vBookie on this.

The Spurs will change their intro: 999:1
The Spurs will not change their intro: 1:999

[SpursStillTippin]

dont know if yall remember but i think it was the 2003 playoffs i remember them using System Of A Down's Toxicity , i dont know for how long they used it but i remember it :fro

[Dingle Barry]

static x - bled for days


hip hop doesn't get me pumped for anything except grinding on some skanks ass

[rAm]

during the finals, whenever they would play this song after the pistons had just been introduced I would just hold my head in my hands. It sounded so lame and in my opinion just killed our morale.

They really should change it, its horrid.

[Bandit2981]

Like ASF, the whole "Ya'll ready for this" song produces an image of a grinning Avery pointing and shaking his shoulders...NO THANKS! We were promised by Holt a couple years ago the song would change, of course nothing happened though.

[BeerIsGood!]

I say they play whatever gets TD, TP, and Manu ready to kick some fucking ass. That's all that matters. If playing ABBA gets the Spurs rollin' and smokin' people then play it as loud as possible.

[ShoogarBear]

Fernando would be a good choice for SA

[joeyjfive]

Thank god I'm not the only one who hates the crap outta that old ass song, everytime they play it the crowd goes all crazy and I'm just thinking to myself spirit fingers spirit fingers spirit fingers. haha well yeah i agree the song should be changed, to what i dunno but it needs to be changed.

[T Park]

I love how a forum of people get worked up over a stupid song.

Watch the game and ignore stupid shit like that.

[ATX Spur]

Whatever song lets the Coyote still do that crazy backwards dance. :spin

:lol same here, it was frickin' embarassing...

Although I laughed at the time.

:lol I think Spurs should pick something funny or lighthearted, and not ho-hum typical rap/rock that everyone else does.

[ShoogarBear]

smack my bitch up by prodigy, except cut down to about 30 seconds

good call on knight rider, btw

[gospursgojas]

"The Boy is mine"

Brandy and Monica

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Like season-ticket holder giveaways?

Chill out, it's the off-season.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I didn't care too much for Miami's Bring 'em out. I will have to think about it.



I only like that song for the Texas State women's basketball team.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

I like that song that the Jordan-era bulls would do intros to. And Ill always remember the way the PA announcer would do Jordan's intro....

....And now form North Caaarolina!!! :king

Alan Parsons Project - Sirius

That was awesome. I always loved watching that on WGN growing up when that music would start and the announcer would yell out, "AND NOW, THE STARTING LINEUPS.... FOR YOUR.....CHICAGO BULLS!"

[ShoogarBear]

Maybe they should bust out the Cotton Eyed Joe for the intros. That'd rock the house.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I actually liked Miami's JayZ "Bring Em Out" intro.

[ShoogarBear]

1-3-1-3

Actually, during a tight game in the HemisFair, when then bust out that joint during the fourth quarter, I would clap to that beezy.

(See what I did there . . . juxtaposed "joint" and "beezy" to the Cotton Eyed Joe. That's what we call "irony".)

(See what I did there, used "juxtaposed" and "irony" in a post. That's what we call "literate".)

(See what I did there, I then use parenthetical expressions to explain everything to you. That's what we call "condescending".)

[ShoogarBear]

See what you did there. That's what we call "your job", editor boy.

[GrandeDavid]

You damn right, haas. Time to change that tune. Its beyond tired and old...and gay. Need something fresher.

[ChumpDumper]

Maybe we should write the Spurs and tell them we are indeed ready for this and they'll change the song to some other question like "Y'all gonna buy some nachos and big foam fingers?"

[ShoogarBear]

Why the nacho hate?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Why the nacho hate?

Nacho cup of tea?

[T Park]

booo

[ShoogarBear]

boooAnother nacho hater! WTF? :madrun

[Sonia_TX]

I still never figured out what the tip-off song was...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nacho, Nacho Man (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/2229/nachoman.wav)

[veronicamae]

I still never figured out what the tip-off song was...
"Halftime (Stand Up & Get Crunk)" by Ying Yang Twins. :)

[veronicamae]

btw i love nachos.

and i want a new song.

[SequSpur]

this is like a rehashed topic.... dumb.

[ShoogarBear]

Rehashed nachos? Urk, no thanks.

[gospursgojas]

I still never figured out what the tip-off song was...
The Ying yang twins song is the song they play when the spurs win.....


The song at tipoff is
Dream Theater's Metropolis

[Louis]

See what you did there? Made an ass of yourself again.

:blah

[ObiwanGinobili]

God I hope they change that crap! It bugs the shit out of me.



If they change songs, and then suck this season, I'm coming after you.

Now see thats scary. :madrun

[1Parker1]

What about The Black Eyed Peas..."Let's get it started?"

[phxspurfan]

ani difranco - educated guess

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

What about The Black Eyed Peas..."Let's get it started?"

If they do use that, I'll hold you personally responsible. I would fly to Philly just to push you down a flight of stairs.

I can't even hear that song without picturing George Gervin throwing the basketball at the camera.

[Sonia_TX]

The Ying yang twins song is the song they play when the spurs win.....


The song at tipoff is

I checked both songs out on Itunes and VeronicaMae is right...it is Ying Yang twins. Thanks Veronica!!!

[Mixability]

Watch the game and ignore stupid shit like that.

Since we stick with our team through thick and thin, WE have a right to complain.....

you on the other hand.

[DDS4]

I really like that Nightwish intro that was played before Y'all ready.

[manustarting2gd]

I hate that song, DIE ALREADY!!!!

[UtownSpur]

South Texas DeathRide by San Antonio's own Union Underground!

[RC's Boss]

It always was a cheerleader type of theme music to me... They may as well use the damned Village People! "throw them bows".. Ludacris Then Tim can get on the floor w/ some gangsta shit... after all, Ron Artest did say he was a P-I-M-P!

[jn77]

I have spent the last two weeks looking for a less "gay" song with the energy of "get ready for this" and the sad truth is that they just don't make songs like that anymore. Yes it is old, but so is "welcome to the jungle" and "enter Sandman" but the building still erupts when those songs start. I say leave the music alone and play ball! :flag:

[slayermin]

Hire Tiesto to make an original song. If we had a Spanish player, he might have done it for free.

[RandomGuy]

btw i love nachos.

and i want a new song.


Yeah, what she said.

NACHOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :king

[veronicamae]

you're welcome!

told you so, other person! :P lol

they play the ying yang twins when they win, as well. i'll have to check out that metropolis song...do they use it during the games at all?

[spurs=bling]

i wouldn't mind them using "Optimus Bellum Domitor".

[DaSpurs#1]

yes we need a major change in the intro song, can't think of a god song though how about "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by Scorpions :lol

maybe we should all email them complaining about how they need to update the intro song http://www.nba.com/spurs/news/club_directory.html

[Louie Vega]

I like that song that the Jordan-era bulls would do intros to. And Ill always remember the way the PA announcer would do Jordan's intro....

I think that intro is just as lame as the Spurs intro.

I'm George W Bush and I approve this message. :tu

[DuncanInYourFace]

They need "Ghost Love Score"

Not as lame as watching A&E.

A Spurs game without "Ya'll Ready For This" would be like a Gallagher show without smashed watermelons.

actually, the tip off song IS the ying yang twins song. they played Metropolis either before the 3rd quarter or before the 4th quarter. i payed alot of attention to that. haha

Yeah. As much as a new song would be cool, ya gotta admit the current song is almost a part of the family. The games just wouldn't be quite the same.
