@@walterwhite1 When COVID hit, the theme was retired for a second time. Social distancing protocols limiting fans in stadiums or closing stadiums to fans made the lyrics to the song no longer make any sense.
Was stationed in the Persian Gulf during 1993-94. The best 3 hours of my week was hanging with my fellow jarheads and getting this piece of America via the satellite dish.
Man, what happened to the NFL? It was so great back then. Instantly brings back memories of myself and my mother watching MNF when I was a kid. How can you top Hank Williams? I'll tell you how, you can't.
Goodell took over.. that what happen... its ok though adam. His time is comin to an end.. n hopefully by end of 2022 will be his end... expect a big shake up in the sports world in the comin months
COMMISH, Jay Z in charge of all NO Fan LEAGUE MUSIC, WOMEN OFFICIALS and a ton of other things! Sad, stop the trash talk, dancing and betting. Play hard Black and blue football
My childhood in a nutshell. I'd belt out this theme as a kid while standing atop a fallen tree in the middle of the woods. I couldn't get enough of it.
@@sherryhannah498 Yeah, but she can't start a football game the way Bocephus does. 'Course, part of the problem is that the song they chose for her is totally awful.
Immediately, right out of the shoot, the significance of the game is presented to the viewer in a direct, no-nonsense manner. It answers the questions “why should I watch this? Why should I care?” It explains why this game is worth watching even if these aren’t your two favorite teams. Then, seamlessly, you’re pulled into a high-energy opening theme song crafted especially around the two teams squaring off in tonight’s contest. And although it isn’t shown here in this video, after the pump-up MNF theme song, the viewer is then presented with Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf, and Frank Gifford who set things up with a further explanation of the importance of the matchup and the implications for each team…..before breaking away for pre-kickoff commercials. By now, ABC has the viewer locked and loaded and ready for four quarters of football. They’ve drawn you in and you suddenly realize that this is the best thing on television tonight. There’s no way most guys are flipping the channel to another program. The clever executives at ABC knew exactly what they were doing when they crafted this program introduction, and that’s why it is a classic. In a world of television remote control clickers, the producers knew they only had the first thirty seconds to convince the viewers that this was the program they ought to watch - and it most cases, it probably worked. Anyone out there studying television production needs to analyze the success of the Monday Night Football opening sequence. It’s masterful and dynamic.
That intro music just brings back so many good memories as a kid and teenager watching football… you were in for a good cozy entertaining night on Monday night football
Hank Jr. had the best theme song for MNF by far. Since then nobody has come close. Been a football fan for 60 yrs and I'd never thought I'd say this BUT I'm not such a fan anymore since the P.C. crowd has taken it over.
Hank was fired because he compared Obama to Hitler. As a black woman idgaf. Say what you want but politics have absolutely nothing to do with football. Hanks opening song reminds me of my childhood 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Facts. As a black man I looked forward to watching Monday Night Football just to hear Hank Williams intro as well. It pumped me up and got me ready for another great Monday football and WWE wrestling too. ESPN turned political after Former President Obama went into office. I was so pissed that they fired him for having an opinion right or wrong.
Wow.. brings back those memories as a kid... I used to get so hype watching that intro.... I loved the 90s ... I wish we could relieve all over again...
I went to this game. I was 16 years old and me and my best friend from high school somehow managed to get 2 free tickets, spare of the moment. I remember cruising down interstate 80 and I was super jacked showing my 49er hat to people as we passed by. One guy flipped his hat around and showed me his Vikings hat. It was a great game. I’ll never forget it.
2024 here. Frank, Al and Dan are just as epic as Young and Montana. Here’s to Al still doing it - on AMAZON of all places! His voice is like a warm hug from my dad.
Yes, but with Miranda Lambert, they are able to check some "woke" boxes. I divorced the "new and improved socially aware NFL" back when all the kneeling bullshit started, and I haven't regretted my decision.
@@russs7574same here. I used to watch with my brother at the local bar every Sunday Afternoon. Burgers and beers. He has since passed away, (in June 2022) but those were good times before all this woke politically correct bullshit.
The Niners just rested their starters for this final regular season game; the Vikings won. Incidentally the Niners still have not won in Minnesota since.
@@JDR_Nova Although four NFC Central teams made the playoffs that year, the division was a joke. The 49ers and Cowboys were head and shoulders above all those bums, even though the Lions actually beat the Cowboys in Dallas that season.
Man I miss hwjr openings they were the absolute best I remember watching this game i was 13 and Steve Young was my favorite player and I live in MN and also a Huge vikings fan such a great time in life
Monday Night Football used to be can’t-miss TV. They had the premier matchups and there weren’t 1200 channels to choose from. Everyone watched, everyone discussed it the following morning. I miss it.
I just cried as a 40 year old..I miss those days...I miss my old USA!! I live in Queens NY born and raised and I hate everything about it!!! It used to be great but not the last 10 years

Really miss these intros. They were special to the game and really got you into the game
indeed!
I stopped going to the bar because they would mute it for the damn jukebox !
Total Pavlovian response. The music signaled snack time.
Rick OBrien me too! those damn draft dodging hippies and their jukeboxes!
Damn draft dodgers and their presidential broken promises.
Hank singing always pumped me up for football. Hasn't never been even close to being the same.
Fuk the Liberals who fuked it up!!!
To bad woke liberals canceled him otherwise he would still be on 🥲

It's 2023 and this still gets me fired up 29 years later.
Came here to get fired up lol
2024 and it has since I was a kid sneaking up late to watch the game. It was so damn worth it

the 90s ruled and i feel bad for anyone watching mnf and not getting to experience this intro at least once
The Liberals fuked society up and it sucks!
And free local tv broadcasting. It was the best
Grew up with it for every game whether I wanted to or not with my parents watching every game from beginning to end.
Gen X here and I was in high school in the 90s. I would get such an adrenaline rush when this played before the game 🤘
Facts
Never realized how great we all had it. Just an intro makes me miss those days so much.
God bless Donald Trump
God I miss these. These intros really made Monday nights feel special
ABC's Monday Night Football Was the real reason to love Mondays in my childhood
Hank, Football, classic cars, beautiful women, cigarette ads on the stadium. An America long gone :(
Now, if that doesn’t get you ready for some football I don’t know what will.. the best intro of all time
Yeah the woke joke ESPN got rid of him just like they got rid of Sage Steele.
If that don’t light your fire your woods wet‼️‼️
My childhood in a nutshell. I'd belt out this theme as a kid while standing atop a fallen tree in the middle of the woods. I couldn't get enough of it.
Please put as many of these as you can on here. These are amazing to watch.
Thousand times better than "waiting all day for Sunday night"
I mean, Joan Jett is just as awesome as Hank Williams. But…they could’ve workshopped that one a bit
Monday Night Football Intros Today Are Not The Same Without Hank Williams Jr.
Best MNF opening ever….I feel the electricity running through me every time I hear this..
Man they don’t make em like this no more
I'm glad I got to see these intros and watch some of the games on Monday night
so much better than crap ESPN monday night ABC did it right
Joe I agree it was better, YET I think ABC would have sooner or later messed it up also w/the P.C. crowd running things now.
You mean the Ethnic, Social justices and Politics Network?
Steve Young and Jerry Rice. Two of the best ever.
I miss Hank Williams singing this MNF intro!
The 1 thumbs down is Carrie Underwood
😅😅😅😅😅😅
I've heard better singing from Marge Simpson!
ManSitttinNext2DaMan leave Carrie alone she’s good and she doesn’t do the horrible things female rappers do

“ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!”
Man I miss those intros! Thanks for the trip to Nostalgia Lane 😁👍🏽
When those lightning helmets raised up and crashed into each other you knew it was on
You know how HYPE I would get when this song came ON????

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Man I miss this, back when you got ampd up and excited about a game as ol Hank jr led you into battle.
Great memories, when my husband was still alive and Monday night was OUR night
So sorry for your loss😢
We used to be a proper country.
This makes me sad this was 30 years ago.
Best intro in sports history....u didn't like the teams playing and u still got pumped up for football..
I remember looking forward to watching Monday Night Football every week, and I didn't even care who was playing.
Same here bro..all the Liberals fuked it up!
That intro music just brings back so many good memories as a kid and teenager watching football… you were in for a good cozy entertaining night on Monday night football
i used to like when they smashed the helmets
Same here
Yeah but after Tagliabue completely ignored concussions you'll never see a visual like that again
Me too

How is this ruined by PC?
@@xdgaming70 - Political Correctness.... not personal computer, jackass...
you're missing out some of the most exciting football ever just cause you dont like players expressing their first ammendment right. Bye, boomer 👋
This song and intro was so much better during the Hank Williams Jr days.
In 2023 I still go back and play this before MNF so I can really get ready for some football.

1:11. Penalty! Helmet to helmet!

Bring Hank back to MNF!
Wow.. brings back those memories as a kid... I used to get so hype watching that intro.... I loved the 90s ... I wish we could relieve all over again...
90s NFL was pretty special. Here on the west coast we could stay awake (😂) and watch w our young son. Hank Jr was the best !
Man I miss these intros!
God this makes me emotional I miss this so much!!!
2021 and this MBF intro and song is still undefeated!

The good old days back when the Monday night game was the game of the week.
Hank was the best. I miss the that time when football was great with no political crap. Al and Frank were awesome.
These were always 🔥
I checked if this song was just good due to nostalgia but nope, it’s awesome

Physical football and great intro songs
Best football intro music.
Was at the game!
80s and 90s NFL was iconic. I just don't care anymore
Make MNF intros Great Again
Yes, Bocephus, I am ready for some football.
Those were the good ole days

The Niners just rested their starters for this final regular season game; the Vikings won. Incidentally the Niners still have not won in Minnesota since.

Bocephous is a legend lives in the beautiful little town of Paris Tn ...........
I mute the TV and play this before the game starts.
I was never really into football. But watching with my dad, even I liked the hype they'd put into these games.
HES BACK BABY
Who remembers when they just played the game and no politics were involved?
things change.
Sends chills down my spine!💯
We need Hank Jr back!
Hanks version was the best. I will always be a Hanks fan. You’re the best Hank. 👍👍
Yup, please bring back these days...jerry rice didn't kneel for no anthem he'd catch a fallen flag 5 miles away quickly 1😏
So miss this intro. ESPN (The NFL) has never recaptured this magic.

I miss these days man
Hank should play the halftime show
Oooh yea! Hopefully Jay -Z would think about that and giving homage to the true NFL fans and present this showcase to us all

It’s 8:15 on Monday. I watch this every week right before MNF kickoff. The real song.
Anyone who wasn't hyped to see the 49ers and Vikings after this video just can't feel anything
The electric helmet crashing graphic is timeless... I miss it!
Perfect timing!
Sure do miss it
Oh the 90’s
Loved the 2 helmets colliding
So much better than what they use today.
We used to be such a proper country when we had intros like these!
The original full opening song by HW Jr. Was electric and made MNF an event. It was like an extension of the weekend.
I was 10 years old. Damn the memories
So sad how good things like this go away because of executive thinks he/she knows better.
Man bring it back
I remember watching this game it was a good game to watch and I’m a Viking fan and I was happy the Vikings won
