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!

The Greatest Players Introduction Anthem EVER 🤙🏽

[@trainwellracewell]

This intro gave the Bulls a huge home court advantage. Such an iconic tune

[@BornaMatosic]

Indeed!!

Incredible! I dedicated my whole afternoon to finding this song. I listened to the entire Knuckles soundtrack, but had no luck. I checked various websites, still nothing. Then, this evening, while watching the new Deadpool and Wolverine teaser, I heard it again! It felt like someone was teasing me with something I love but couldn't reach. Finally, I installed the Shazam Extension, and it identified the song within seconds! I'm so grateful! This song is pure gold; it's now the background music of my life!

[@metalheadgamer6666]

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.

"AT FORWARD! FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS! 6'7 -- SCOTTIE PIPPEN!" Woo, the good old days for my Bulls!

[@jermainesevowicz2821]

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

[@BacchusGA]

This tune stopped the playoffs for every team in the 90‘s 💯 #gametime

Game 5 of the 1998 NBA Finals at United Center will be the last time we will ever hear that iconic lineup: "And now, the starting lineup for your 5-time world champion Chicago Bulls!" "At forward, from Central Arkansas, 6-7 Scottie Pippen!" "A 6-11 forward, from Split, Croatia, Toni Kukoc!" "The man in the middle, from New Mexico, 7-2 Luc Longley!" "A 6-6 guard, from Miami Ohio, Ron Harper!" "From North Carolina, at guard, 6-6 Michael Jordan!" "The head coach of the Bulls is Phil Jackson!

La mejor intro para el mejor equipo CHICAGO BULLS🙌🙌

[@JB-zh1bo]

Así es el mejor intro de la historia

[@Gamerguy-501]

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

[@Prakashed]

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.

[@BigBoss95778]

Perfect music for motivation

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.
