Not a serious question or anything, but just wondering what the song that plays at all the heats and on all the DVD menus is called... Does anyone know?

Is it a song that is especially made for the competition? It's quite catchy... =)

Thanks

It's production music. Been around since the 70s, it gets used in tons of stuff. APM licenses it nowadays I think.

in reply to Joseph Moore:

ah yes, that was from back in the early days of the comp, back when the comp ran on the smell of an oily rag, with as few rules as was necessary. ;)
