question involving ATnT center 'chant'

[poop]

im sure many of you have noticed this...but right before tipoff, and then again at the end of the game(if we win), the PA anouncer sings this line to the apparent tune of 'nani-nani-boo-boo'...its like NA, NA, NA-NA, NA! NA, NA, NA-NA, NA! it is done in a seemingly taunting manner. it sounds like a 6-year old has got ahold of the mic or something. i cant tell what hes actually saying but HOLY it is SO DAMN ANNOYING!!

do you know what im talking about? THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

Are you talking about the intro song "Halftime" by the Ying Yang Twins? It has a chorus line that goes "Stand up and get crunk." They've been playing it right before tipoff and after every win for awhile now.

I'm not sure what song you mean. I know I would get annoyed as if they had that type of song before tip-off. I'm a season ticket holder and go to most games. There is no nani-nani- boo-boo song AT ALL before tip off. Now, I haul ass right after the game, so I don't stick around to hear what they are playing at the end, so I cannot confirm or deny what they play at the end of the games. They actually have a cool pre-tip off tune that most fans get into. I don't know what the it's called, but it sure as ain't no nanni nanni boo boo .

It IS "Halftime" by the Ying Yang Twins, and they play it before every tip-off and after every win. Sorry you don't like it, but most of the crowd does--the track does a good job getting everyone pumped up for tipoff, and it's a nice capper after a win (and this coming from a guy who has mostly Christian and Country music on his iPod lol). To each his own, I guess, but the song's been around for awhile now and will be at least to the end of this season.

[completely deck]

if you don't think that song is good you should probably reevaluate yourself

besides, they could go back to their old song...

[superbigtime]

I like it. They have been playing that at least a year or two; you're catching on a little late man.

[MaNu4Tres]

lol na na na na?? lol stand up get it crunk by ying yang twins has been the song before tipoff and after the game for about 4 years now...anyfan who hasn't noticed this I wouldn't really consider a real fan. No pun entended.

lol, you mean "Are You Ready for This"? I'm probably one of few Spurs fans that actually liked that song, but I agree the current combo of "Let It Rock" for player intros and "Halftime" for tipoff is an improvement!

[poop]

yep its that song i recognize it. the thing is, from TV all you can hear is the Chorus, which the new announcer yells over the PA. so you dont really hear the 'song' you just hear the damn announcer going 'NA, NA, NA-NA, NA' and it sounds so ing gay.

[poop]

actually, if you are into 'music' like that then you are probably a primitive person who is leaning closer to tribal ape-like man than modern civilized humanity.

You want them to play Bach after wins? What the are you still complaining about?

I really don't know where you're getting that the announcer yells it over the PA. That's just the way the song sounds. I'm no fan of the PA announcer, either, but I promise you he's not shouting that song through the PA system.

I was going to say the same thing. The PA announcer isn't involved.

[SequSpur]

racists..

[deadratsam]

I think I remember hearing this played at a game some time back.

[balli]

actually, if you are into 'music' like that

Yeah, that song's no good, but what arena anthem isn't? It's perfect for pre-tip off. Beats Who Let the Dogs Out.

[timvp]

What is that furry dog looking thing with the big eyes who sometimes finds his way to the sidelines?

[poop]

well actually, someone there knows their stuff because they actually play alot of Dream theater there, which is awesome and fits the mood perfectly.
theres no place for cheap gangsta rap at a spurs game, thats the last thing the NBA needs if they are going to move away from their 'thug balla' image

So, do you realize now that the PA announcer isn't screaming it?

Anyway, Ying Yang Twins aren't cheap.

[poop]

well on TV it sounds exactly like the PA guy. thats all you hear anyway.

and yes, that type of 'music' is cheap disposable garbage, requiring no actual talent to make, made by and for the more undesirable portion of society.

You shouldn't watch the NBA since you hate black people who like rap.

I'd like to see your ignorant ass run a production studio. ing asshole.

[timvp]

I gotta hand it to poop for having the most apropos screen name on SpursTalk. It gives a fair warning of what's ahead. Compared to his past contributions, this is probably his best work.

Wow.

This discussion obviously isn't about music anymore. Does it bother you that no one else agrees with your point of view...does it make you feel lonely?
