What is the Pregame song that is played After the intros and right before the tip Off.

First it's "We takin Over" then this song.

Sounds kind of like Akon or Chris Brown, It's a R&B song not Hip Hop
I "think" the chorus says something like "rise above, rise above" but I could be wrong.

They have played it at every game this season,
is there place to find official Pre Game and In Game Playlists?

No clue. I still think though that they should play Nicotine and Gravy during intros.....it has that funkified mellow 70s vibe with a nice mix of synth. Just a badass Beck song from my favorite album of his that has a nice sound and rhythm for intros.

I believe you are thinking of the song "All of the Above" by Maino, but the part you're referring to is performed by T-Pain (what HipHop/R&B song doesn't have T-Pain?)

Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEYxOPtQqWw

With that taken care of... all-time favorite team intros, anyone? I don't have a great recollection of each season's but the two that standout were last season's "I Put It On For My City" (Young Jeezy) and I think it was 2 or 3 years ago when they played "Thunderstruck" (AC/DC) -- I remember that year's video intro being particularly tight too (they were all working out at a steel mill or something... it even made Adam Morrison look tough!)

Least favorite was probably the "Elevate" season... I respect U2, but you want something that pumps up both the fans AND the players.

The Celtics by and large have the greatest "pump up" intro going in the NBA. Requiem for a Dream theme w/ Ayo Technology. Perhaps rivaling the Jordan-era Bulls' intros.

What can I say? I'm long past puberty and still a sucker for this stuff.

Thanks so much, I could not find that for the life of me. I use to be a DJ and Hip Hop Promoter, but that's all gone now. I never ever listen to the radio and sometimes songs just skip right by me. Thanks again.

They had some really cool techno-ish songs playing late in the Orlando game. I would love to know what some of those were.

What about the intro that is played before the players are introduced? Its like a song out of 'Lord of the Rings' or some medievel epic.

Man, I dislike the intros this year; just painful to bear. I try to stay up at concessions until tip-off and all that torture is over. It seems to go on and on, over and over. Way too many decibels. What are they doing to my game?

Haha, that's completely opposite of me. I try to miss the anthem and time it so that I don't miss the intros. I love the music this year except for the techno song leading into half time.

It's O Fortuna. Most people know it from the movie Excalibur.

Interesting. I stinking LOVE it. I listen to it on that youtube clip before I watch the game on TV.

It is a little loud in the arena though.

I like the use of Carl Orff's "O Fortuna - Carmina Burana," but isn't that intro really just a gatorade commercial without actually mentioning gatorade??

^Does it matter? It's Bobcats, it's a great song, and it's in Latin.

And keetch, the intros are amazing man.

No, it doesn't really matter. Just an observation.

My favorite scene in the intro is the one of the father and his son, both with their hands up in the air cheering. Just awesome.
