Almost every popular sport, from Basketball to Boxing get’s it’s ‘80s anthem in this 50 minute classic segment.

Here at Night Flight, based on our selection of specifically that genre, you could say we love it. A lot.
With slam dunks like Dazz Band’s “Let It All Blow,” Pro Wrestling’s supremely weird “Land of 1000 Dances,” Kurtis Blow’s “Basketball,” Manfred Mann's Earth Band’s “Runner” and of course, the timely Chicago Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle," we really can't recommend this enough.
