Intro music

Over the last few games, we've been trying to figure just out what Russell Moldenhauer's song is about. You can clearly hear something along the lines of: "Here comes the... Here comes the... Here comes the..."

The what? We didn't know. Absolutely none of the folks I sit with are young/hip/whatever enough to have any knowledge of 95% of the music the players use for their "intro" themes. I remembered that the folks at the TexasSports.com page had posted a list of intro themes last year so I went looking to see if they'd posted a new one for this year's gang. And, lo, they have!!

And, apparently, Russell's song is touting the coming of the "Boom"! So, that's that. It's a song by someone named Nelly. I looked him up on iTunes and he's there. But the song isn't.

Do be sure to check out that list o' songs. It might be somewhat instructional. I'm not sure. Some of the names made me laugh. "Top of the Food Chain" is Adrian's song. Heh. I was extremely entertained to see that Chance Wheeless has a Miles Davis song for his intro. Miles Davis! Say, what??? Heh. Was it J. Brent Cox a few years ago that had George Strait's "The Fireman"? I could truly and honestly appreciate that one. Otherwise? I mostly just shrug my shoulders at the songs. Nick Peoples had a Pink Floyd song last year. I loved it. This year? Something by someone calling themselves Tool. Huh? In the "old school" category this year (besides the Miles Davis thing, of course) we have Hunter Harris with "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood. Sigh...

Okay. Now I've gone and done it. I went on YouTube (and then to various other sites) to see if I could find some of this music. Oh, my. I don't think I was really ready for what I found:

Ugh. That was rather painful. I really am too old for the almost all of the "music" on this list. See how old I am? I had to use air quotes! Ouch.

And, just so I'll have a "handy" copy of the link in case I can't find it next time I go looking, here's a link to the list for the 2006 squad.
