JOHN TESH FACT OF THE DAY

Tesh came up with the legendary NBA on NBC theme song (Roundball Rock) while on vacation. He hummed the melody into his answering machine so he wouldn’t forget it. The song served as the opening theme for NBC’s entire run with the NBA – 1990 to 2002 (played a total of 12,000 times.)

    I'd never heard of John Tesh before until reading this post but to make the theme song for something used that many times is a huge achievement, make no doubt about it.

    Huh, that was actually pretty smart to have it on his answering machine, but it's a good job nobody heard it first and used it themselves.
