skylive5 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Putting together a CD that will have songs about sports, talk about sports in them, or are sports teams theme songs..... so far I have: Dropkick Me Jesus Centerfield Paradise By The Dashboard Light We Are The Champions Theme Songs: Dirty Water (Boston Red Sox) Goodnight Irene (Bristol Rovers) You'll Never Walk Alone (Liverpool) You Are My Sunshing (Wigan) Is This The Way To Amarillo (Bolton) I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles (West Ham) Seattle Mariners play Warewolves of London for one player but it isn't really a theme song for the team. Anyone have additions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Probably not the genre you are looking for (in fact I can guarantee it) but Kurtis Blow's "Basketball" is only about sports. It's from the early 80's and at least many of the players from the old era are mentioned. Chorus: They're playing Basketball We love that Basketball They're playing Basketball We love that Basketball Basketball is my favorite sport I like the way they dribble up and down the court Just like I'm the King on the microphone so is Dr. J and Moses Malone I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop My favorite play is the alley oop I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go, Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow, Chorus I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl, To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl, And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West, To play Basketball at it's very best, Basketball has always been my thing, I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King, And number 33, my man Kareem, Is the center on my starting team, (To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out In yo' face, now here comes the rest) Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete, Now these players, could never be beat, Isiah, and Iceman too, Just give 'em the ball, and then you talk up too, Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene, And Ralph Sampson is really mean, Bill Russell didn't take no junk, and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk, Tell me, were you in the joint?, The night Wilt scored 100 points, Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back, And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack, Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team, With moves that came right out of a dream, Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall, Playing D with desire, it's Basketball, Chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ugh...tougher than I thought. Not sure if either of these fit your criteria, but: 1. Rod Stewart's "You're in my Heart" has a line "You're Celtic United, but baby I've decided, your the best team I've ever seen". 2. And since I have four kids, I am very familiar with High School Musical's "Get Your Head in the Game"...may be too teeny-bopper for your liking. I'll keep thinking.

However, it is very old school and I guess I could accept it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I have Aaron Carter's cover of I Want Candy..... can't get more teeny-bopper than that. I could probably add both those. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) How about G-Love's ? Or there's Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Basketball". Oh wait... no. Edited August 24, 2008 by AtomicCEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I have almost everything Dylan ever did.... that one isn't really a sports related song as much as it is a "let the guy out of jail" song. Thanks though.

Clubfoothead Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Pantera has a Dallas Stars theme song but it's an a$$ whipping. If you consider race cars a sport then Daddy's Cup by the Driveby Truckers has to be on there. I like songs that tell a story and that one tells a great story.
