What is a song that will pump me and my basketball team up before a game?

Question

I play basketball for high school and my team is really slow and non- enerchetike. We try to get them pumped up for the game, but there just lazy and tired. Give me some songs that i can play to get them moving. Like sports songs.

I would also like to know the name of some songs that are touching and almost make you speechless. You know what i mean? If you go to google video, type in michael jordan. The no fear movie has music that makes me want to cry.

Answer 1

My ex used to listen to "Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen?" by Rammstein before soccer games to get himself and team mates riled up. It translates to "Do You Want To See The Bed In Flames?" and is about how one of the band members in Rammstein slept with Til's (then) wife, so you can imagine the intensity of it. Fantastic song and very energetic.

Or what about something like "Eye Of The Tiger" or "Final Countdown"?

Had a look at the MJ video you talked about and if I watched the right one (where it starts with his speech at a press conference), then the song is a remix of the popular "Summer Overture" performed by the Kronos Quartet (have heard it could be "Lux Auterna" though). It's also used in the movie Requiem For A Dream and in one (or more, I can't remember) of the Lord Of The Rings movies.

If you want something similar to Summer Overture but energetic, try "Quixote" by Bond. For something a little more laid-back, try "Kismet", also by Bond.

I'd recommend a song to rival Summer Overture but unfortunately I don't know much classical music. Some other suggestions, however, are "Sadeness: Part 1" by Enigma, "Desert Rose" by Sting ft. Cheb Mami and "Ballade Pour Adeline" (if you like piano).
