Lyrics
Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam

Pass that thing and watch me flex
Behind my back, you know what's next
To the jam, all in your face
Wassup, just feel the bass
Drop it, rock it, down the room
Shake it, quake it, space KABOOM...

Get wild and lose your mind take this thing into over-time

In popular culture
- "Space Jam" has became a popular subject in both internet memes and mashups.[1] The first spread of the song's meme presence occurred in 2004, where it was reportedly associated with a Randy Savage-themed website created by a Something Awful user.[2] The website in question later morphed into what was presumably a flash file on 4chan's early /f/ board, which then spread into these circles on Newgrounds.[3] Over the course of 2005 and later years, the meme was followed up by a series of mashups involving other songs inspired by it, including various pages on the website YTMND.[2]
