Rockets Championship intro music

'you got to know' by capella

 

WHICH Championship? We had two, you know?

 

Is that : "Y'all ready for this ?"

 

It's the Capella Song

 

This should be a standard FAQ question for as often as it gets asked.

 

I think you know someone that can get it done

 

The song was actually only introduced after the first championship (during the second championship year).

During the 93-94 playoffs, the Rockets ripped off the Bulls' Allan Parsons project music (which was also ripped off by the Suns).

 

are you sure???

i seem to remember KRBE having a bunch audio highlights set to this music for both seasons. i think i had both years taped for a while...have no idea where that tape is now.

 

Both of y'all are incorrect. The 94 Championship had a different theme song. A much more rap type song called Clutch City. I still remember Turbo coming down from the rafters while it was played.

I used to have it recorded, but alas, that tape is long gone.

 

upside down and inside out
kicking butt in the summit's what it's all about
now it's time for me to get on the mic
and make this h-town party hype
hakeem's slamming over here
hakeem's slamming over there
mad max and sam kicking derriere
turbo booster let's get busy
whoomp there it is

 

that's my memory, too. but i'm certainly not 100% positive.

ALRIGHT HOUSTON!!!! ON YOUR FEEET!!! AND PREPARE!!! FOR A ROCKETS!!! LIFTOFF!!!!

countdown

capella song starts

that's the intro i remember best.

 

Haha...that capella used to be my ringtone. But I got the one without the words so its not so bad.

 

God, I hated that song.

 

i'm not much for the song, but it sure brings back good memories!

ron413, WTF happened at the :43 mark??

Anyway, Insomnia (only the music, not the lyrics) was much better... I remember the ROX used it for a while for the RPDs:
