Houston Rockets Starting Lineup Song (Old School)

[HTownAg20]

God this song was badass. I miss the good ol days. Red Nation!

[veganisextremelygood]

SO GLAD YATES MANAGED TO PLAY! WHAT IF THEY HAVE TO USE JAKE DELHOMME?

[veganisextremelygood]

GO TEX GO! ALL THE WAY! TJ YATES, AIR FOSTER, ANDRE JOHNSON AND ETC... THE FIRST HOUSTON TEAM TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE HAKEEM AND ROCKETS IN 1995!

[Quilboltferret]

Rockets woulda won even if michael jordan woulddaa had his bald headed behind in the nba those 2 years!!!!!

[Coasternator]

GO ROCKETS!!!!! UTAH SUCKS AND SO DOES LA!!!!!

[veganisextremelygood]

TEXANS CHAMPIONSHIP IS NEXT IN HOUSTON!

[veganisextremelygood]

THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE THE MORTAL KOMBAT THEME. GOOD SONG THOUGH!

[bvalerga]

the nba: where houston not advancing happens

[TheNimasreb]

Its not Dreams fault why mj retired. so stop crying like a little boy. mj did it for himself. he retired, it was not the rockets fault. the rockets didnt force him to retire and play baseball. and besides, mj did come back in 95 only to lose to Shaq and the magic in the ECF. and the dream swept shaq in the nba finals. know ur history and drink your milk.

[bedan4peat]

if mj didnt retire, 94 finals will be too close to call. not because of mj, but because of scottie. mj and the dream will just cancel each other out but houston will have no answer for pippen. horry was too young then. i would give the bulls the slightest of edge. but in 95, the rockets will just bamboozle the bulls. without horace grant and the maturing of young stars horry and cassell plus clyde drexler, houston could have been the first team to beat the bulls.

[KingOfKingz819]

@bedan4peat thats what the 1997 Finals couldve been, and we wouldve had Barkley to go along with Drexler and Hakeem...but given the age of Barkley idk how it wouldve turned out

[MichaelJW72]

Patrick Ewing, John Starks, and Charles Oakley disliked this.

[bitchasshoeism]

If it wasn't for Michael Jordan retiring the rockets wouldn't win a championship

[lampost86]

@bitchasshoeism Go to your room.

[BullsFan23331]

@lampost86 maybe you should because you know its true.

[cgilbert131]

@bitchasshoeism You are ignorant. First of all, MJ played later in the regular season and in the playoffs for our 1995 championship season. Secondly, if you look at the results from when MJ's Bulls played against Hakeem's Rockets, Houston dominated. Chicago didn't match up with Houston during our championship seasons. I am in no way saying MJ was no good, because he was the greatest player to ever play the game. But that doesnt change the fact that Houston was the best TEAM

[Deadshot089]

@bitchasshoeism Michael Jordan came back in '95 and the Bulls lost to the Magic in the second round of the playoffs. If Michael Jordan would of never retired him and the Bulls would have also lost to the Knicks in '94 playoffs. Because the Knicks and the Magic had a better team than the Bulls in those two years, one player doesn't win titles alone. I love MJ he's a great player but he would of never won those 3 titles with out Rodman, Toni Kukoc and all those good role players he had from 96-98

[easye7543]

@bitchasshoeism actually MJ came back half way through that season the Rockets won their second title only to get bounced out of the playoffs but the Magic.

[rangerthree]

@bitchasshoeism Yeah if Jordan wasn't such a quitter maybe he would have done more. But he knows you'll suck his cock anyway so he took some time off to be a mediocre minor league baseball player. All hail King Jordan!

[TonyDSG]

@bitchasshoeism Hater, thatss such BS and you know it!

[TheNimasreb]

@bitchasshoeism

if john paxson misses that three, the suns should be nba 93 champions. if karl malone didnt miss those ft's, jazz should be 98 champs. it was not the rockets fault that mj retired. besides, mj did return in 95 but his ass was beaten by shaq and penny.

[281adonis713]

i wasnt even alive at the time but memories! LOL

[cfgolfcf]

best intro ever... if we bring it back maybe we will win another title lol

[KingOfKingz819]

not fair...i was 2 years old when the Rockets best the Knicks...and still too young to remember anything when they repeated with the sweep...doesnt matter though, GO ROCKETS!!!!

holy shit, this song gets me pumped up

[matthew1544]

Holy shit good times. I miss the 90s ):

[wholaughslast8228]

HOLY SHIT THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES

[elementrmc]

Wow hearing this song sent waves of goose bumps down my arms... Totally bring back memories of the times when we were a friggin great franchise

[sargefan19]

Omg this song brings back memories of the good old days thanks for posting this

[abemotorsports]

The girl who used to dance this song looked pretty hott and knew how to move in 1994, British KELLY OVERETT!! I'm proud the Rockets used this theme, and that's something I never knew since I have been more CAPPELLA fan than Rockets, GO ROCKETS and GO CAPPELLA from the SPACE CITY!!

[matthew1544]

@acdl1985 no because of the mutherfucking heat

[abemotorsports]

Go CAPPELLA!!

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

sixers all day

[mbh427]

Get goosebumps remembering the starting lineup calls..

[Fobo911]

Bring this song back to the starting lineup introductions, Toyota Center! NAO!

[abemotorsports]

@Fobo911 The Rockets really need to bring this great theme

[blshorty54]

the song is called U Got 2 Know by capella its pretty sweet

[abemotorsports]

@blshorty54 CAPPELLA made great songs during this era (93-94) althought they remained from 1987-2005, the best times than CAPPELLA ever ever had was during this times leaded by Britishes KELLY OVERETT and RODNEY BISHOP loving CAPPELLA and Go Rockets from the SPACE CITY!!

[xhead13]

Can we clone Phi Slamma Jamma and play them instead?

[ryanhemingway1]

i remember this song PLUS Gary Glitter's "Rock n Roll - Part 2" when the Rockets would play it during key breaks in the 4th period and then robert horry would come out and amaze us again by burying one with seconds left!... WOW... that was definitely the good ole' days!

[GrandCrossX]

I remember this... it was an epic intro, and I'm not even a rockets fan... lol

[carverthekillerclown]

i miss the ol days of the rockets !!!!

[boyzfootball4]

does anyone know what they are saying in the middle of the song lol?

[abemotorsports]

@boyzfootball4 it's U GOT 2 KNOW by Italian Eurodance chart CAPPELLA!!

[JnixClutchCity11392]

When do they still play this song at Toyota Center?

[BradJamesRocks]

Mario Elie=one of the most clutch performers of all time!

[JZ2001JC]

YES! God Bless You lampost86. I have been looking for this song everywhere and you posted it. Good man.

[Timbo311083]

the song is called "u got to know" from Capella

[acdl1985]

This takes me back, dont worry well get Bosh and possibly Hedo in a sign and trade and WE WILL BE BACK.

[lkzg]

Take us back to the good old days! I love my Rockets and we will take the title again one of these years.

[MichaelJW72]

Wish the Rockets and the Bulls could have squared off in the finals. Timing never worked out.

[bigshnizle]

greatest

[reindhart]

I'm from Spain and I love Rockets, keep on!

[latecrew]

So what is the name of this song?

[Snake011100]

I love the Rockets.

Rocket fan till I die baby.

Rox for life, and I love Houston. = )

[willmatic511]

[godinezmarco]

@willmatic511

[LuigiLaker]

Back when the Rockets were bad ass..and world champions.

[MrKeepnit100]

[TheJameszz]

houston rockets all day

[awesomedep12]

epic

[markot1k]

Dunno about basketball - but I saw this get played live at my local nightclub in 1993 - in the UK during its "Rave" era...

Its "U Got to Know" by Capella and it was HUGE back then. The DJ used to spin it at the end of the night every week for about 5 weeks and we only found out it was by Capella when they performed it on stage.

Some ripoff group called "DubGuru" have just re-released it as there own - but if you do a search for the name I just mentioned and you'll see what I mean.

[MichaelJW72]

Thanks for the proper credit.

[jonb0411]

I remember this beat...

[eldentist]

hahaha no way this song is an integral part of my childhood

when the rocket would come down from the middle and flames and smoke and stuff and HAKEEEEEEEM THE DREAM OLAAAAJUUUUWOOOOON

[onebadlt123]

Damn I miss this song during the starting lineups... "At guard, 6'7 from Houston number 22... Clyyyyde the Glyyyde DRRRREXLER!!:

[duwende]

Tiesto plays this song almost every week on his podcast. It's U Got 2 Know by dubguru

[Bigmark902]

Hopefully tmac can come back and be a good role player in our lineup...

[sorealboi1]

well go ahead and say that because the rockets are thinking about trading t mac because he will miss the first 20-30 games of the 2009 season, and we got out of the first round with out him. Rockets are thinking about talking to the Knicks if they wanna trade him. If we do, I hope Rockets GM Daryl Morey puts a target on Nate Robinson for the trade.

[KamHtown]

Nate Robinson? DUMMMMMB.

[cdryahoo]

right lol

[nfortaleza1]

MAN THIS SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!!!!!!! I REMEMBER BEFORE THIS SONG WOULD START THE ANNOUNCER WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE " ALRIGHT HOUSTOONNN ON YOUR FEET!!! AND PREPARE FOR YOUR HOUSTOOONNN ROCKETSSSS!!!!!!" (countdown) 5-4-3-2-1 lift off! we have liftoff! (and the song would start !.. =)) Then in hakeem's introduction the announcer would say " HAKEEEEEEEM DAAA DREAAAAM OOOOOOLAJUWAAAAN!!" MAN I CAN REMEMBER IT LIKE IF IT WAS YESTERDAY!!!!

[tharock220]

You're almost there. He said "PREPARE FOR ROCKETS LIFTOFF!!!!!!!!!!)

and it was "7 FOOT CENTER OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON, NUMBER 34....."

[SectorFour20]

[AjaxRealMadridBrazil]
