2000s
For the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 seasons respectively, CBS tweaked the now familiar theme music. The 1999-2000 version had heavier sounding notes while the theme used for the 2001-2002 seasons (debuting during CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XXXV) was a more brisk, whimsical and light-hearted sounding composition.
As a precursor to the eventual changeover in music for the 2003 season, CBS used the song "Pompeii", composed by the Los Angeles electronic music group E.S. Posthumus, during the intro of the 2002 AFC Championship between the Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans. The song used since the beginning of the 2003 season is the E.S. Posthumus composition "Posthumus Zone". For the 2005 season, CBS frequently played a rap-inspired remix of "Posthumus Zone" entitled "Rise to Glory", featuring DJ Quik and Bizarre.
