This video clip reintroduced - or introduced - the song to many in the basketball community while Magic fans nodded approvingly. That changes today with this video I found of a live performance during the team’s first game. I feel that there is not enough appreciation of the original Orlando Magic theme song from 1989. If you have never heard it in all of its glory.
A new generation of fans may have forgotten its existence or not even know about it - especially with how much this city has changed and grown, you had to be there to see it. It was only brought up as a treasured memory for fans who experienced it.Īnd like all things that pass into memory, it only became a legend. The Orlando Magic Theme Song, like the original pinstripe jerseys and logo, was locked away. The Orlando Magic’s original theme song made a revival this weekend bringing back a treasured piece of the team’s past. A time capsule of the late 1980 and early 1990s. It was there as a treasured part of the experience of having a new basketball team - even the centerpiece track of a soundtrack of Orlando Magic highlights and adjacent music that was released on CD. The Orlando Magic Theme Song was a piece of pop culture that was special and dear for Orlando Magic fans, part of the culture that has permeated the fans of this small-market team with seemingly outsized success.
