    Default Football Song "A Special Game"

    I'm wondering what is the name of the song that the opening fanfare is from.

    Listen here:

    Thanks for your help,

    And a also, what's the name/artist of the techno song that goes, "Doop Doop," or "Doot Doot" or something.

    The opening song is "Up She Rises" which is a redo of the old sea shanty "What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor".Almost all of the old NFL type songs were produced by Sam Spence. They can be located by searching his name or NFL Films and music.

    Default Really?

    Are you sure? I have that song, and have heard no such fanfare. Is it at the beginning of the song or somewhere else?

    Maybe I have a different version.

    Thanks for the reply

    Perhaps I'm confused. I don't know the opening trumpets fanfare. As soon as the players start talking (seconds into the clip), Up She Rises" begins and plays for a bit. I think I just answered my own question with the word "fanfare". Sounds like something from the Olympics. Have no idea if he "borrowed" it from someone. He had a history of combining his "new" works with old. I have discovered when he rearranges music, modifies it, etc, the original piece is usually mentioned. Sorry for the error.

    Yeah, I was referring to the trumpet fanfare that occurs before the voiceover and Up She Rises.

    I like those too. Looks like this day will be spent chasing down trumpets. I'll see what I can do.

    Thanks, man. I don't think it's anything Olympics. All of the pieces in this compilation are football pieces, most are (I think) by Sam Spence. I can identify many of them.
