http://www.nba.com/media/jazz/dbizzohno_screamUtah.mp3 Well known hip-hop artist D Bizz Ohno (no relation to short track skater Apolo Anton Ohno) has been declared the winner of a recent contest to produce and record a new theme song for the Utah Jazz. The song is creatively (especially once you hear it) entitled Scream Utah. If you love this, here is more of D Bizz Ohno's great work. Salt Lake City is a lot of great things. Hip is not one of them. The Jazz having a hip-hop theme song seems to fit as well as Shawn Bradley playing pick-up at Rucker Park. What was wrong with AC/DC's Thunderstruck or the Village People's Y.M.C.A? Sure, these tunes are dated stadium anthems, but they fit with some of what makes being a Jazz fan cool - the unabashed uncoolness of the franchise. So, with all respect to D Bizz Ohno, please get rid of Scream Utah and bring back Burning Down the House. http://thecowhideglobe.blogspot.com/2009/01/jazz-go-hip-hop.html
