Tommy Morrison's entrance music

[DrDuke]

Some off-topic on this subject in the other thread has provoked me to create this topic.

I've done some little research on Tommy Morrison's entrance music, but still not everything is known. Here's the information I obtained.

- Richard Strauss - "Also Sprach Zarathustra" in Ray Mercer fight.
- Queen - "We Will Rock You" in Jerry Halstead fight.
- Elvis Presley - "That's All Right" in Marshall Tillman fight.
- Elvis Presley - "Trouble" in George Foreman and Sherman Griffin fights.
- Sam Kinison - "Wild Thing" in Tim Tomeshek fight.
- George Thorogood & The Destroyers - "Bad To The Bone" in Michael Bentt fight.
- Nazareth - "Hair Of The Dog" in Ken Merritt and Terry Anderson fights.
- Vangelis - "Conquest Of Paradise" in Donovan Ruddock and Lennox Lewis fights.

So, does anyone have something to add?

Some of the evidence can heard here:

And the main question for me is what's that in Pinklon Thomas fight. It was very noisy there and the audio quality of the video isn't the best, I'm not even sure, if there was music, it's impossible to hear. That's the fight:

it's 1976 all over again !!

dang you got good ears.I was trying to find out which fight that Hair of the Dog was played for
(For a second , I thought that very brief bit (and low) bit of music there in the fight with Terry Anderson was this song here)
If Tommy Morrison never used a song by BTO for entrance music,he should have ! but maybe he did somewhere?)

[Caractacus]

Especially because he had "TCB" monogrammed on his boxing trunks.

Dunno ,sounds like it may be this song to me possibly (?)

Well, maybe... If try to find some resemblance, it shows up. But I can't be sure.

That whole album kicks ass. An underrated piece of Rock Perfection.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra aka "The theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey
was also Morrison's entrance music for the fight with Tim Tomashek. (August 1993)
The theme was also Elvis Presley entrance music for his live shows
from Las Vegas in 1969 clear up until he died in 1977.
Tommy Morrison was a BIG Elvis fan.He even had a Tattoo of Elvis on his hip.

[Caractacus]

can you out make which song that is ?

Unfortunately, neither Shazam nor Soundhound can identify it. I'm also not familiar with this tiny piece of melody.

[Caractacus]

Could it be Gun s Roses ? maybe "Don't Let it Bring you down.

[Caractacus]

I'm pretty sure Tommy Morrison always played the theme from 2001 just before the entrance music.
Which song is this one ?

So, that's Sam Kinison - "Wild Thing".



Gotta add this to my top post of the thread.

I have always wondered what song was playing when Tommy Morrison made his entrance against Lennox Lewis. I always thought it was some Russian tune. Is this the same song from the movie "The Hunt For Red October"?

Anyways, thanks!!

It's from "1492: Conquest of Paradise" of Ridley Scott.

[HeavyHitters]

Aha! I was getting it confused with "The Anthem Of The Soviet Union" which was in "The Hunt For The Red October".

Look, the Vaulin fight is now on youtube in its full version, with entrances:



However, my apps can't recognise the music here. Maybe someone will be able?

[Caractacus]

Cant really tell but it sounds familiar btw wasn't Trevor Berbick from Jamaica originally ?

[Caractacus]

Sounds a little like this one ?



or maybe this one ? ( which would be especially good when fighting against a Red Commie Russian back in 1991)

Yes, he was.

The first one is more likely for sure, but probably still not that.

[Caractacus]

what is the entrance music in this one ?
