They have used Absurd by Fluke since 1997, that was for the 1997/98 season, from 1998-99 they used Oasis's track for this intro, but in 1999, they used Fatboy Slim's Right Here Right Now for the opening titles until 2001 for Ronan Keating's Lovin Each Day and the rest is history. A lot of info, right?
+JakubWidlarz The first 12 seconds of this intro featured the Ford logo on escalators linking to the first floor of the Sky Sports building along with the Premier League club crests featureed throughout.
Someone once told me MNF has had the same intro song since 1997? Obviously that was bullshit they told me

Blonde woman in that 98 Newcastle shirt with "brown ale" star is so nostalgic 💯
she was hot
It's a great song but I don't think it quite works as an intro.
Sky Sports were the ones that chose it at the time. I think they should have used Fluke's Absurd instead. But it's not too bad though.
What did the first 12 seconds look like? a Ford sponsorship bumper maybe?

It was sponsored by Ford so, yeah.
