Unknown Song #44 is probably best remembered by NFL Primetime aficionados as accompanying the first post-9/11 highlight on the show. The NFL's mission for that week wasn't just to mourn the national tragedy, but to also give people an entertaining & distracting respite. US #44's dark & moody, yet energetic & determined sound perfectly fit that mission. ESPN didn't choose this song solely for that purpose, though; it was also used during the Week-1 episode from 9/9/01 which obviously had nothing to do with any sort of tragedy. The bigger question is: why didn't they use US #44 again after Week 2? It's a little too repetitive to be a real classic, but its mood & energy still fit well within the Primetime music pantheon. It's kind of odd, frankly. Anyway, enjoy the clip.
