'The Jock Jam' (released as a single by the name 'ESPN Presents the Jock Jam') is a mash-up song from the compilation album Jock Jams, Volume 3.Rich 'DJ Riddler' Pangilinan, Bobby Dedic (en).dbr:It_Takes_Two_(Rob_Base_&_DJ_E-Z_Rock_song).dbr:The_Bomb!_(These_Sounds_Fall_into_My_Mind).dbr:Gonna_Make_You_Sweat_(Everybody_Dance_Now).wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/ESPN_The_Jock_Jam.jpg?width=300.That album also includes a mash-up of songs by 2 Unlimited named 'Unlimited Megajam'. A second mash-up named 'Son of Jock Jam (Mega Mix)' was released on Jock Jams, Volume 4. The song peaked at 31 on the Billboard hot 100 and was certified gold by the RIAA on Octofor sales of 500,000 copies. This song received massive radio airplay when it was released, notably in United States and Canada, which is a rare feat for a dance mash-up. Those are mixed in a three-minute megamix fashion, mixed and produced by Rich 'DJ Riddler' Pangilinan and Bobby Dedic. It appeared on Jock Jams volume 3, even though most of the songs contained in this mix were released on the two previous volumes. 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.

The single was released in late September 1997 on Tommy Boy Records. There's plenty to like here: Puff Daddy's toe- tapping, posthumous tribute to Biggie Smalls, 'Mo Money Mo Problems' the annoyingly catchy 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' from the Backstreet Boys Fatboy Slim's wicked nick of the riff from the Who's 'I Can't Explain' on 'Going Out of My Head.' There's even some fun vintage Jock Jams tracks, such as Salt 'N Pepa's 'Push It' and House of Pain's 'Jump Around.' Still, who would have thought that a song with the refrain 'pissing the night away' would end up as a jock anthem? Certainly not Chumbawamba, even though 'Tubthumping' makes an appearance here.

The Jock Jams series (along with the Jock Rock and Slam Jams series) collects top hits in their most danceable, groove-shaking format-perfect for a workout or a party where you want to feel like you're at a stadium. ESPN Presents: Jock Jams, Volume 4 Various Artists Perfect for athletes-budding, established, weekend, or even armchair.
