"Sirius"
This album contains the well-known instrumental piece "Sirius," which has become a staple of many big-time college and professional sporting arenas throughout North America. It is perhaps best known for its use by the Chicago Bulls to introduce its starting lineup (including Michael Jordan) during its championship years of the 1990s and continued to the present. It was even the opening song of the documentary Michael Jordan to the Max. It is also used as the soundtrack for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team tunnel walk before every home game. The song was also used by the New Orleans Saints as their entrance music for Super Bowl XLIV.
During the mid-1980s, it was also used as the ring entrance theme for Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat by WWE, at that time known as the WWF. However, to avoid paying royalties, WWE has edited out Steamboat's entrances with the track or overdubbed them with a homegrown theme from his 1991 run in the WWF.
"Sirius" segues into "Eye in the Sky"; the former is always followed by the latter on airplay, though not always in live performances – at the World Liberty Concert "Sirius" was played as the introduction to "Breakaway" (Try Anything Once) with Candy Dulfer on saxophone.
In recent years, the song has been used on the trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues as well as at Euro 2012.
