Does anyone know of a hip hop song/track/beat that samples the Monday Night Footbal theme song?

Specifically, the first 4 notes... "Dun-dun-dun dunnnnnnn" Anyone who watches it will know. I haven't heard such a song or anything, but tonight it struck me that that tune needed to get sampled. It's ridiculous.

i know there's a freestyle out there that's built around the NBC on NBC theme, but i don't know of a monday night football one.

NBA on NBC theme = Ras Kass ft. Xzibit "NBA"

The MNF theme has been sampled before. The opening to "Let Me Know" by Cam'Ron trumpets the "Dun-dun-dun dunnnnnnn" and then slides into a different beat that's based on the last note sampled from the MNF theme. It was the lead single from Cam's S.D.E. album from 2000 and had quite a bit of commercial radio and video play. Still though, the MNF sample could be used better.

OK. I knew it had to have been used somewhere. I figured it'd probably be on some shitty NFL comp. I was kind of drunk when the idea hit me and it's become a bit of a running joke this week.

OK, my housmate slsk-ed it and man! It's as bad as I hoped it would be!

Yeah, it's a sample that's so obvious you instantly know where it's from. Nothing subtle about it. It does make me smile when I hear it though - it's hard to imagine that someone sampled it for a legitimate song, not just an NFL jock jam comp. It's pretty over-the-top.
