Jock Jam Megamix

The "Jock Jam Megamix" is a megamix song released in late September 1997 on Tommy Boy Records, whose first goal was to help promote the "Jock Jams" series of dance compilation CDs. It consists of samples of songs and phrases from popular dance, eurodance and rap recordings, either "sport-themed" or not, that were released on previous volumes of the Jock Jams compilation series. It appeared on Jock Jams volume 3, even though most of the songs contained in this mix were released on the two previous volumes. Those are mixed together in a three-minute megamix fashion, mixed and produced by Rich "DJ Riddler" Pangilinan and Bobby Dedic.

This song received massive radio airplay when it was released, notably in United States and Canada, which is a rare opportunity for a dance mash-up. The single sold over 500,000 copies Gold Certified, and reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100. The creators are often labeled as "ESPN".

There are two other Jock Jam mixes besides this one; both were released on the next installment of the series.
