This is a re-make of Cheech and Chong's "Basketball Jones" (1972), which was actually a parody of "Love Jones" by 'A Brighter Side Of Darkness,' which I believe, came out in the late 1960's.
LOL I was looking for this song for like a year. I remember in space jam when bugs and daffy were in Michael Jordan's house, this song was playing and a big booming black voice was all like "Maybe that's why"
MusicfromMovies5, I play basketball every week. I'm 5'10 and I am able to dunk! I just took this special jump training plan at (50-inch-vertical[dot]com) - anyone can do it
Cheech and Chong's version is waaay better and the animated cartoon is pure 70's. This is just a poor imitation. I still like Barry White and Chris Rock but they didn't improve this one, IMO. Go see what you think.
I swear hearing this song brings back my childhood. I swear Space Jam had an underrated soundtrack, EVERY single track on it was great, much like Wild Wild West soundtrack it had an all star line up. This had that sick Hit Em Up track, that hilarious rap by Bugs Bunny, R.Kelly's I believe I can fly, Monica's For You I will and so many others. Just hearing this makes me want to look at the movie again.
@nour264 si yo tambien llegue hasta aqui por lo simpsons........ es que vi el capitulo de la 22 temporada, ( no me acuerdo cual) y ahi homero imagina todo un vijae ,,,,,,,, y de fonfo se oye esta cancion en su version original....
saludos vivan lo simpsons que hacen recordar buana musica y le escupen a la music a basura
You gotta love this but he could have said so much more, from the original! Cheech and Chong's version is absolutely hilarious too. "I can stuff it from center court with my toes!" "I can dribble behind my back, I got more moves than ex-lax" He says he can jump up to the backboard with a quarter, dive off, leave 15 cents change! "I can dribble with my tongue!" he says. Look it up. It's classic as "Earache my eye" by Cheech and Chong.
TRACY!!! we're on a nostalgia trip. XD I just asked Teasha what she thought about doing the space jam theme. then i was on here looking for songs and found this and thought of you..then went to look at the comments..AND THERE YOU ARE!!!! lmfao
@HollywoodSuite: Yes. Please. And let's throw the '80s in there while we're at it. Magic and Kareem's Lakers, or Michael and Scottie's Bulls, over the 2011 Heat any day of the week.
