The Untold Story Behind Roundball Rock - NBA's iconic theme chords
Start Jamming...
One of the things I've discovered is that there are many different ways to write a song and the most unusual way came to me
When I was in Europe about four or five years ago
I was trying to write a sports theme and I did not have a piano [E] in the hotel where I was staying
So I did probably what many of you have done faced with a similar situation
I called my answering machine at home and I left a message for myself and
[Gm] Although that sounds goofy
What [N] happened was that theme that I sang into the machine is the theme that they play every time the Chicago Bulls crush another basketball
team so I am singing themes into my machine regularly and
Special bonus for you folks.
I have brought the original answering machine tape with me so I can play it for you
I know you were dying to hear it
But it has to be played on the original answering machine.
So here now the original demo tape for this particular song for pro basketball
Hi, this is a message for me about the NBA theme.
Here's an idea.
It goes like this
Bumper they'll put down you
