    I coach youth basketball and I want to make a highlight video for the kids to show at our team party after the season. Can you guys and gals offer some suggestions for songs that would be applicable to a basketball related video.

    The boys are 11-12 so I don't want songs with lyrics that include cursing, drug abuse, racial slurs, violence, or degrading to women.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You know the song they use with all the "booms" in football highlights and such... its called O Fortuna from Carl Orff's opera Carmina Burana

    You can edit it down to pick some of the good adrenaline beats and stuff in it. I don't know how long you want your video to be, but I love seeing good plays in sync with those "booms" :)

    I have no control of it playing automatically. But it is so great I had to post it anyway.

    "Sure Shot" by the Beasties could work.
