Football season is almost here, can you hear it?

Amazon Prime Video has big plans for its Thursday Night Football package, and if we’ve learned anything about sports fans and the nights they love to watch football, they appreciate a good tune to set the mood for a night of violent tackling. Look no further than how excited, or on the flip side, how disappointed the masses became upon realizing that CBS’ longtime SEC theme would be used for the Big Ten going forward.  Amazon hired renowned composer Pinar Toprak with the job of creating something memorable for their big splash into NFL primetime. Thursday night football is one of those nights people questions whether or not a football game is needed, but after listening to this new jingle, try telling me you’re not excited for a little TNF.

You can hear the Amazon theme music below:

It’s probably going to take a few weeks to get used to this. On first listen it’s pretty peppy, perhaps something a college spirit band might play during a television timeout. It soars and feels epic and large and could be perfectly at home on a football video game title screen. But overall I approve, it’s a good tune, one that could totatly get you pumped for a Thursday Night of football.

Let’s ride!
