If you could choose one song they play when the Spurs hit the court Sunday....

THE TOP 11 SPORTS SONGS

Ever since Brian Electric and John Guitar unleashed their "electric guitar" on the world, musicians began stringing together power chords to write odes to their favorite sports. Whether you're into the big ones - baseball, basketball, football and pro wrestling - or something like curling, chances are there's been at least one awesome song associated with the athletic compe ions you love. With this in mind, UGO has obtained, at no small cost, a list of the 11 most noteworthy sports-related songs ever written. There's quite a few '80s hair band songs here, so you might want to put your hairspray goggles on before continuing.

11. John Fogerty - 'Centerfield'

10. Theodore Shapiro & Craig Wedren - 'Higher and Higher'

At first glance, "Higher and Higher" is a Rick Springfield-esque '80s power tune with seemingly unintentionally hilarious lyrics...

9. Rick Derringer 'Real American'

Those of you enlightened souls familiar with professional wrestling will undoubtedly recall Hulk Hogan's patriotic theme song back when the WWF still meant World Wrestling Federation and not World Wildlife Fund...

8. The Lightning Seeds - 'Three Lions'

7. Phoenix - 'Run Run Run'

"Run Run Run" isn't necessarily about a sport per se, but about an important element of many sports: You can't play basketball, football, baseball, really any of the major 'balls' without running, right? Look, you try to find 11 songs about sports that aren't sung by men's glee clubs in stuck-up New England universities - songs such as "Row Me home" and "Let's Hear it for Lacrosse!" to cite two technically imaginary but very realistic-sounding examples.

6. Queen - 'We are the Champions'

There's certain to be a Queen biography out there that details the origins of "We Are the Champions," and if it was conceived as a sports tune or if modern sports culture simply adopted it as such. Either way, the song has indeed become the de facto victory lap for any reigning sports team, or even a celebration of individual scored goals for some of the over-zealous organizations out there (we're talking to you, Milwaukee Admirals). Regardless, there are few things in life that sweeten a victory more than having a scrawny, mustachioed sexual taunt your failed opponent with lyrics like "No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions of the world." It makes winning worth any cost, even at the expense of blocking a slap shot with your eyeballs, to not have this played to you in celebration of your defeat.

5. Joe "Bean" Esposito - 'You're the Best'

In between Mr. Miyagi's wise counsel and Daniel-san's high school hijinx was "You're the Best," sung by a fellow named Joe Esposito...

4. Belle and Sebastian - 'Piazza, New York Catcher'

Not all sports songs have to be testosterone-fueled guitar-fests; there is room in the sports music Hall of Fame for quiet folk tunes such as "Piazza, New York Catcher,"...

3. Sammy Hagar - 'Winner Takes it All'

Considering that this song was written for a movie about arm wrestling, it turned out pretty good...

2. Morrissey - 'Boxers'

Even England's bruised poet, Morrissey, got into the sports-song action with this jovial tale of a boxer who lost a big game in his home town but gets cheered on 'all the same.' Though it seems a little sad in theme, peppy guitars and a terrific Smiths-reminiscent tune keep things thoughtful rather than bitter, although the boxer in the video didn't seem too happy about it. If Rocky had ended with this song, we might have followed our inspiration, and might even now be getting the stuffing pounded out of us by burly athletes. Maybe even eventually in a boxing ring!

1. Survivor - 'Eye of the Tiger'

The rumor that this song came stock with 1982 Camaros was totally untrue...we think. "Eye of the Tiger" was that rare sports anthem with crossover appeal, and has been a regular staple of big-haired radio channels ever since. With mention of 'the thrill of the fight' and the importance of 'rising up to the challenge of your rival,' the song is the perfect combination of '80s hard rock cheesiness and legitimate motivation. Boxing has been on the wane lately, but this tune is still good for a pretty vigorous workout soundtrack on the treadmill.

Perhaps it's just the way the light falls
But everything looks like a target to me
And I don't know where the gun is
But I'm certain that it's pointed at me
And in the jungle, retched jungle
They say the lion eats tonight
And all around it is a colliseum
Dripping with a voracious appe e
I say hey there, fella
Whose soul are you tormenting now?
Hey there, fella
Whose soul are you tormenting now?
In the course of all the previous events
It is evident that something's bound to happen
Come on, rear your ugly head to me
I've got nothing to lose but my apathy
The root of the problem has been isolated
The root of the problem has been isolated
The root of the problem has been isolated
The root of the problem has been isolated
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Just try me
Just try me
What are you waiting for?
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Come on, mother er
Let's go
Just rear your ugly ing head
I'll put it on a platter
Just rear your ugly ing head
I'll put it on a platter
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's go
Hey there
Hey fella
Hey there
Hey fella
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Just try me
Just try me
What are you waiting for?
Come on, mother er
Let's throw down
Come on, mother er
Let's go
I'll make you wish that you'd never been born
I'll make you wish that you'd never been born
I'll make you wish that you'd never been born
Come on, mother er
Let's go
Hey there
Hey fella

Go'n Breakdown - Suicidal tendencies

Quieres chigaso, conmigo, tu lo tienes
Por vida y por muerte holmes!
Breakdown a mother in' breakdown
Breakdown ain't that a !
If you like magic, here's a trick
Snap my finger, now I'm a lunatic
Ain't no threat straight out fact go head up you'll get jac-
ked!
Went to school at u. of , favorite course was kill and
tell
Gratuated head of class, majored in kickin' ass
Did hard time to get my master, wrote the book on personal
disaster
I don't need to phd to be a doctor of in' misery
Psycho's insane, they say I lost my brain, but I gave it away
If my mind's gone bad don't go off feeling sad cause I chose
it that way
Cause it's a breakdown, I'm go'n breakdown, I'm gonna break
Ain't no you can do
Cause it's a breakdown, a mother in' breakdown, gonna
Break you in in' two
What you got, come and show me
Think I won't, you don't know me
Live or die, it's all the same, life or death, it's just a
game
Make you an offer you can't refuse, pull out the gat, sorry
you lose
Put a disclaimer on the crypt, sorry holmes, finger slipped
I broke a main now it's headed for my brain and my mind goes
Thumpty thump thump
Pinned shot eyes, don't come as no surprise it ain't no dance
The bump and the dump
Cause it's a breakdown, I'm go'n breakdown, I'm gonna break
Ain't no you can do
Cause it's a breakdown, a mother in' breakdown, who said
that
Nightmares don't come true?
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Stick out your head I'll stick out my finger
Kick you in the balls now you're a soprano singer
Rush to my head, whacked and hyper
Now it's time to pay the piper, time to pay the piper
Thought you were smart, now you're lying in a cart, you ain't
Resting six feet below
Your reservation ain't got no hesitations you don't need to
Pack no bag where you go
Breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna break ain't no you
can do
Cause it's a breakdown, a mother in' breakdown, I'm gonna
Break you in in' two
Cruise the streets on a hustle, show 'em what's up, flex the
muscle
Whacked-out mind on a roll, leaving behind a violent toll
Don't take no chemist to understand the equation ak47, a litt-
le persuasion
Your fear is like a compliment, now you're the production of
my environment
Don't flap no lip, don't shoot that crap
Timebomb for brain don't know when I snap
Breakdown
My strategy I do a psycho attack, you know my set I'm a maniac
Breakdown
Do as they say when in rome, blast the sucka then get home
Breakdown
Concussion to the skull, jugular severed chalk it up another
187
Breakdown
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Jack be nimble, jack be quick
you jack, I be a lunatic

The Denver player intros should be done to Hit me baby one more time.

That one stings.

[SRJ]

- "Explosive", Bond (A little lush, but plenty dramatic)

- "Liberi Fatali", Nobuo Uematsu (More intense and driving than Orff's Carmina Burana)

- "Imperial March", John Williams (I don't give a damn how much it's been used in stadiums, it remains awesome as )

- "March of the S.O.D", S.O.D. (An angry, relentless metal instrumental)

- "White Owl", Keiko Matsui (Taut and dramatic)

[ShoogarBear]

Are Y'all Ready For This: three rings
AC/DC: zero rings

[Cry Havoc]

Good suggestions. "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" would be perfect for the Nugs, as that's what they'll be doing after Game 1.

"When Worlds Collide" would be perfectly symbolic for the series against the Suns.

As for the Mavs, if/when we make it to the WCF, I'm undecided. Something epic.

We NEED a music change. "Y'all Ready for This" was old in 1996.

[Tigole Bitties]

Do you think they'll reuse that player intro video montage with the Nightwish instrumental? Just superimpose Jacque Vaughn's head on Van Exel's and Elson's on Nazr's

and s/Matt Bonner/Sean Marks
