The Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance on Netflix took the world by storm. Back in the 90s I used to get up in the middle of the night to watch Michael Jordan and the Bulls on TV, so The Last Dance had a very nostalgic effect on me. Especially at the end of EP1, when SIRIUS started playing for the Chicago Bulls intro / starting lineup celebration, all the memories came flooding back! I immediately stopped watching and rushed into my studio to record my own version of the iconic theme song!
SIRIUS was originally released as the instrumental intro song on the album Eye in the Sky by The Alan Parsons Project. It was adopted by the Chicago Bulls as their theme song that played during the starting lineup player introductions and became a worldwide phenomenon, frequently being played at all kinds of sports events.
The original SIRIUS is quite short, so it is often edited to create extended versions, like it was done for The Last Dance soundtrack. Since I re-recorded all parts for this guitar cover, I made my own extended version by arranging it with a slower buildup to the guitar solo. I also extended the solo by composing a new second half based on the original.
Do you like the Sonic movies? Paramount+ just launched the Knuckles spinoff mini series and I'm thrilled to say that they used my version of SIRIUS for Wade's bowling tournament finale! How cool is that?!
This cover of SIRIUS is available on all major platforms, so go find it on your streaming service of choice or give that extra bit of support for my work by downloading the song!

Thank you all and happy streaming!!
hey this song is so emotional and i like it
Awesome, thanks! I‘m glad you like the non-Doctor Who content, too!
Pandorraaaa
It should be available on Pandora, too. Did you not find it there?
p aquí aá
This intro gave the Bulls a huge home court advantage. Such an iconic tune
Indeed!!
Funny how since Michael Jordan retired the home court advantage disappeared. Maybe it wasn't the song but actually the greatest competitor ever, Michael Jordan? Just an idea.
@@daveberuh5570 I mean yeah that’s a given , that’s not the point tho
And Now!!!!!
So so awesome, remember rewatching a taped game and looking forward to hearing this ! Untouchables
AND NOW... Your starting lineup for your Chicago Bulls... the nostalgia man. Love this.
Strong nostalgia with this one!
Man I'm chicago born and raised and this song always sent chills through my body and then when the announcer said AAAAAAAND NOW FOR THE STARTING LINE UP FOR YOUR CHICAGO BULLS!!!!!! this song is my ringtone too
AND here come Starks dunking it over Jordan and Horace Grant! What a rivarly, sadly not anymore. Knicks strong as hell these days while the Bulls strugglin´.
World Champion Chicago Bulls*
@@bigredd690AMEN!
I've never been able to hear this song without thinking of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen & the Chicago Bulls.
Dennis rodman etc
@@julianporziella6764Toni Kukoč
La furia @@julianporziella6764
And your Chicago Bulls.
Frrrrrom north carolina at guard 6,6 micheaaaal jooooordan.
This is what younger generation do not understand well. Greatness is no just about numbers, everything that surrounded Jordan was just outstanding.
Truth!
Yeah ! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
💪💪 Exactly 🔥🔥💪💪
Well said!! 23 is the 🐐
Very true
From someone that was born and raised in Chicago, as well as personally witnessed the Bulls dynasty - this is absolute perfection. Keep up the amazing work bro!
Thank you very much! Cheers, Amey! 🎸🎶
addison and ashland buddy
The best of times.
To witness Michael in all of his glory
the team of Bulls of 90's years is the best crew ever
Bulls dominated the 90s
I listened to you in 2025. at the moment, I listened to you, I went to back to 90s.... man... such good play. respect!
Music is a time machine! Cheers mate!
For all of us who grew up in the 90s... this is it. Nothing better than this intro
Truth!
Brother song just gave me chills. No words to explain…….😊
@@christhurber8366Damn right😎🤘🏿🔥
I’m a diehard Knicks fan…the Bulls starting lineups were the most intimidating of any starting lineup…Knicks were a semi distant second
For all of us that grew up in the 70/80's this was it.
Greatest intro of all time!!!
Greatest team of al time!!!
Greatest athlete of all time!!
Its a era that we will never see ever like that again
💯 Percent True Facts
Agree
Amen to that brother
Never
As a Utah Jazz fan growing up man you hear this song still gives me chills and you know the road team is already down 15 points even before the game starts.
The Jazz also used this song in their intro
1:41 goosebumps!!!! From North Carolina, at Guard, 6'6" MICHAEL JORDAN!!!! Still gives me goosebumps after all these years, I'm from India and always imagined how it must be to be a Chicagoan, now I AM ONE!!!! Love the city and MJ and the BULLS still reign to this day in the memories of Chicagoans. You nailed it!!!!! This version should be played at Bulls games now!
Thank you! Congrats on making your dream a reality and becoming a Chicagoan! Rock on, mate! 😎🤘
Im 43, 33yrs of being a Bulls fan. This song was life when we had a home game. I swear when we heard this as kids we got emotional
Do dziś ten otwór ustawiony na dzwoku telefonu.. To były piękne czasy, to były piekna era Byków
I use to get goosebumps as a child hearing this intro to those incredible bulls teams.
Me too!
Indeed! I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
This is total 90’s nostalgia to the fullest core that you can imagine.
Used to wake up at 3-4 am in Turkiye to watch MICHAEL those days and moved to America when Jordan retired
I did the same in Germany! 🔥
You don't know what goose bumps are until you hear this jam blaring live at the United Center.
This takes me back to June and July in the 90’s. Chicago Bulls playoff basketball NBC. Chills me every time.
those Chicago Bulls teams were the best ever
Yes!!!!!! Michael jordan is the goat
I live in Brazil and watching the Bulls' entire journey in the 90s live... I hear that sound and it feels like I'm living those moments now. It's history!
I never understood until I got older how a song or sound can take you back to a specific time. This song takes me back to NBA on NBC. Those Bull teams were iconic like their intro. Good times!!
Someone wisely made the call on this outstanding theme: goosebumps.
You've kept Alan Parsons Project song alive and it's great to live the legend
Still to this day . THE BEST intro theme
It just pumps you up, so great
Imagine sitting in the stands the very first time this song was ever unveiled to the public. That must've been a next-level experience. What a freaking rush.
Hi from Türkiye. When we were kids, we would wake up at 4:00 in the morning to watch the final games. Now I remember those good days.
The psychological and emotional choke hold this song will have on me for the rest of my life is both unreal and much appreciated.
O the memories!! I was a teen in the 90s grew up in Chicago and I got to go to a lot of the games. Best time of my life!
Must have been great being there in the stadium! Most of us watched on TV. 😁
Same here. Back when Wrigley was affordable, Comiskey was empty and Jordan moved the fam from Chicago stadium to the United Center.
I would always get goosebumps hearing this as a kid growing up in the 90s. The bulls were an amazing team and their will never be another team that dominated the game of basketball in everyway like they did.
Amen on the goose bumps ❤
The Chicago Bulls ruled the NBA in the 90s and this was there theme. This track deserves to be in the Basketball HOF!
This is one of the best album intros of all time, and I love how it fades into Eye in the Sky when you listen in order
Yes, the perfect intro!
Great song indeed!
Back in a MJ days...if you heard this song in the playoffs on the road, your season was about to end
True!!
And the team huddle in the tunnel.... What time is it??... Game time Wooo !!!
Lol 100% true!!
You not lying. Your season is done ✔️
@@emanuelpought8651 the only person who could stop them was Michelle Jordan. MJ was so scared of this person, he would decide not to even get drafted.
This shit gave me goosebumps whenever it hit back in the day. I didn’t realize how epic the 80’s and 90’s were until they came to an end and not a damn thing has stood the test of time since then.
I noticed that the ‘80s and ‘90s were the golden eras of many different things. Cars, Video Games, Sports, Music and some other stuff. The 2000s had some golden moments as well, but those 2 decades before, many would say, has been unsurpassed.
"And now, the starting line up for you CHICAGO BULLS" Shit, this bring back memories... Thx for this, mate.
You’re welcome! The memories! That‘s exactly why I made this.
STANDING AT 6'6! AT GUARD FROM NORTH CAROLINA MIIIIICCCHHHHHAAAAEEEEEEELLLLL JOOOOOORRRRRRDDDDDOOOOOONNNNN
And NOW for YOUR Chicago Bulls! at guard from North Carolina, 6'6, 218 pounds from Brooklyn, NY, Number 23....Michael Jordan!
Best pre-game show! 😎
Getting goosebumps by just reading it :D
Getting goosebumps by just thinking about it! 😉
He ain't from Brooklyn 🤣.
@@shitpants9602 he was born in Brooklyn. Though the game announcer usually said North Carolina as that's where he grew up and went to University.
This shit makes me want to Cry. This era was so amazing. Just wow mayne.
From North Carolina…and the building would just erupt! That was my favorite memory being a fan of the Bulls and going to see them play back in the 90’s.
If you heard this song, you knew it was going to be a long night if you were playing against the Bulls
We used to get so pumped up when MJ and Scottie and the boys used to come out to this. Great memories!
I’m a referee in Sweden and I love this! The best song in the arena before I start the game!
Cheers to Sweden! 🤝
Dang!!! Tears in my eyes!!! We just witnessed greatness when youngers!!! 😢
What a times!!! What a childhood!!!
Aaaand now! The starting lineup. Of the world champions. Chicago Bulls!
He's demonstrating to us a method of music that was taught to him. A method of music our Tasteless generation desperately needs to hear.
This is the OST of the best NBA era ever, this is not only the Bulls intro! Amazing!
This tune defined an era and sums up the peak of western civilization. 🐐
They used to say that with the original intro, you were 10-0 down before the start of the game... with this, you're basically walking off the court before it's begun.
Haha they should play this then!! 😂
I can hear Ray Clay's voice "AND NOW... THE STARTING LINEUP FOR YOUR WORLD CHAMPIONS CHICAGO BULLS!!!"
Man! I remember watching the NBA during the Bulls Dynasty. And every time this theme would begin to play, you look over at the other team's bench and you could literally see them contemplating whether they even wanted to play that night or not. Just the impact that Jordan, the Bulls, and this theme song had on the entire league
Dude.. when I heard this tune come out before every Bulls game, you knew MJ and the crew were ready to tear the roof off the United Center!
This and the NBA on NBC live rent free in my head.
The greatest of all time! 🐐 Goosebumps!! The most competitive era!!
The best!
Micheal Jordan era was something I wished I was around. Sadly I was born in 98 during his last dance season.. I woulda loved to seen micheal Jordan and what that era truly was back then! Watching his highlights tells me how much of a freak he was on the court in a way of greatness being there. Highly electrifying
I was 13000 miles away from Chicago and I can tell you, It felt magical. We didn't know Jordan would win but everyone rooted for the Bulls. Even Utah gave him standing ovations in playoff games. It was an aura that exuded from the 20-inch CRT screens that I had never seen since in Basketball. The only place you can find it today is probably in Soccar from Lionel Messi.
This song brings back the best memories of what the NBA used to be. I wasn't a Chicago Bulls fan but this song I always love hearing everytime the Bulls played. Back in the days of the NBA when it was at the start of it greatest. Back in the greatest time the 90's.
Ok!!! I'm. Ready!!
Watching jordan esp finals and playoffs it was literally like a movie it was insane it was the first time we were wittnessing something of that hype and greatness happening
This brings back the glory of the 90's Chicago Bulls and undefeated NBA Championship dynasty
And for me, as a Nebraska Cornhusker fan, it was played during the tunnel walk as the football team took the field. There's nothing like hearing it live, with 85,000 fans going nuts. We started using it in 94, the year we started our domination of the mid to late 90's.
As an 80s and 90s kid this tune definitely brings me back to the Yankees and Bulls dynasty teams of the 90s.
I’ll never forget this song from early childhood
Damn, man! Now I really need to watch a Bulls game from those days right now!
Do it! 🔥
@@BornaMatosic I did it, haha.
Which one? Do one more! 😂
@@BornaMatosic Game 5, Lakers vs Chicago, NBA 1991 finals, that amazing Game!
As a Chicagoan born and raised love this! I was a little kid but I do remember when Michael Jordan played ❤❤❤
Hi from Greece... I'm 48 years old and i want to say that younger generation just can't understand what it means for us..games begin at 4.00pm and i remember going to school without sleeping because of the time difference...man unbelievable experience... imagine those who were inside the stadium
*FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!!!!!*
Oh, the immortal words that stapled a legacy….
I know they announced MJs name, but you never heard it. As soon as the announcer said North Carolina everyone was cheering soo loud. Goosebumps just thinking about it again.
THE GOAT!
The glorious effin 90s....gonna listen this before my next exam and win it
Good luck! 🤘
Iconic themsong .. This is gold
The CHicago Bulls Dynasty in history
As a Chicagoan, let me just say... that this song is absolutely ICONIC. It was an ERA. Beautifully done boys. 🫡🤌🏼🥲
Dude, I was born and raised in Chicago.....Michael Jordan is in my blood. I cant stop listening to this version.
I LOVE ppl like you
Thanks a lot, Jon! I live in Germany and back in the 90s I used to get up in the middle of the night to watch the Playoffs. What a dream team that was! This cover is my tribute to that era!
I was born at the right time(1983)...I was around 7 when I got into sports. The few notable games I attended
1994 Bulls vs Knicks huge fight broke out in front of David Stern
March 1995 vs Orlando(MJ 1st home game back from retirement)
1996 @ Milwaukee(70th win)
My birthday 1996 vs Lakers(1st Kobe vs Michael) Bulls down 15 with under 5 to play in the 4th. Kukoc all of a sudden he becomes possessed and starts draining one 3 after another. Bulls tie, go to ot. Bulls eventually pull ahead and won but not b4 Rodman and Shaq almost got into a brawl. Just as Rodman was about the throw the punch....Michael and Scottie tackle Rodman to the ground. They all start cracking up.
Lastly Bulls @Miami Michael scores 50. Bulls down 10+ with a min or so left in the 1st half. At of half Bulls up by a few. With most of that action happening with under 20sec left
Can you make an audio version of this so i can use for a ringtone?
A couple years ago at a charity Thanksgiving event...i met Jon Paxson, Horrace Grant, Bill Cartwright, Bill Wennington, Tony Kukoc and a couple current day players who i had no idea about lol..
I got a pic with Bill Wennington but the person who took the pic did a royal mess up but you can still see that i only go up to his stomach chest area
Lastly, next time you speak to Angela Merkle please let her know i appoligize on America's behalf for allowing such a dumbass pshyco to run this country.
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Steve Kerr approve of this message...lol
The Bulls were must see TV. It was mote than watching it was an event. So, like all good shows, they needed their own theme. What a perfect theme it was
That makes the Chicago Bulls more Badass and Hyped🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Sirius can make anything badass! ☺️
This was the most iconic intro for the finals in the NBA.. and am very happy i was there
To bulls fans, this is the greatest entrance in history of sports. To opponents, it was a horrifying reminder that an ass whooping was about to commence.
The anthem of greatness.
Still watching this ..I love this so much
Thanks Maria! Enjoy! ☺️
@@BornaMatosic yr are the besttttttttttt

Melbourne, nice! Greetings from Germany! Cheers!

Me too!
The Greatest Players Introduction Anthem EVER 🤙🏽
So epic, greatest intro music, greatest team, greatest player 23🎉❤
this is so cool with the playing of the guitar and the players introduce
Thanks Steve!
I so agree!!!
I got to play it again!! Even tho I was young back then. I played basketball when I had working legs. Lol. I can still name all those boys! And their positions on the court!! It’s called we are die hard fans!! ❤
Thank you!! 🇺🇸🏀
Always gave the goosebumps when I saw the intro to every Bulls game. Michael Jordan was the best one to call out
Those were the days!
I still listen and I will forever watch The Bulls aka The Chicago Bulls
I coach 4th and 5th grade basketball, and we jam this as a team before every game. We're currently in second place in our league.
You‘ll be first place soon enough! 🤘
The Best Ever, Chicago Bulls, 72wins 6 Championships with the GOAT, Michael Jordan!!!
I remember this when the bulls wer in the finals.. gave me the chills!!
this intro destroyed the heart of an opposing team before the game actually begins.
And hyped up everybody else. 🔥
The 90s magic in the air ✨️
The best times 🤘
So nostalgic, they were and still today, BAD ASS!❤
Totally bad ass! 🔥
I love the Bulls, i love Rock and i love TAPP.
I reminisce my childhood, waking up at 3 AM German Time just to watch the Bulls play.
You mastered this one. Simply great.
Yep, 3AM German time! We have that same childhood memory! Vielen Dank und Gruß aus Köln! ☺️
@@BornaMatosic
Oh ja Jungs ich auch Gruß aus Dortmund 😎🇩🇪😀
Grüße! 😎🔥🏀
This, this is the true definition of hype song for teams intro
Just made the Bulls that much more intimidating
The rush! The adrenaline! The defeat! The title! The GOAT
The Last Dance.... Must watch... Came here after hearing this super track ... Nostalgic...Watched those dream matches on ESPN in India.. MJ, Reggie, Malone....Superb... Miss that opening music of espn b4 start of match...
Agreed, The Last Dance is incredible. I recorded this cover right after watching episode 1 and hearing the track at the end!
Algo que siempre me fascinó, es que yo era consciente de que estaba viendo algo maravilloso, que era un privilegiado en vivir eso y poder verlo por la TV. Siempre estaré agradecido por eso. Y está música? Un himno.
Literally impossible to hear this song and not immediately hear "FROM NORTH...CAROLINA..." in my head. Awesome cover!
Thanks! Cheers!
This is one of the best renditions of this tune that I've seen! Awesome!
Thanks, Craig! Cheers mate!
The intro that scared the shit out of opponents, what a time to be born and be alive.
Haven’t seen another team who can be in the stratosphere of then Chicago Bulls!❤❤❤
a song you will hear, when Jordan and the Bulls have had enough. Its winning time, a total obliteration. Jordan is the GOAT.
Those were some good times glad I got to see them.
Agreed!
"AT FORWARD! FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS! 6'7 -- SCOTTIE PIPPEN!"
Woo, the good old days for my Bulls!
WHY IS THIS SONG SO GODDAMN EPIC, WHAT MAKES IT THAT WAY, AND WHY THEY MANAGED TO DO IT SO GOOD AND CLEAN
웅장이 가슴해진다..90년대의 기운이 느껴진다.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 진짜 플레이오프 나가서 저 음악나오면 그냥 끝나는거 웅장이 가슴해지네요.❤
무슨 히어로무비 ost 스멜이네ㅋㅋ
I remember this intro music well watching Jordan and the rest stomp my 1992 Blazers into the mud in the Finals that year. Best intro music of any team
