Originally, this was the theme music of Muhammad Ali's biographical movie "Ali
the Greatest." With a friendship born after the tough fight, Ali presented
this music to Inoki. It was rearranged to the current version in 1977.
"Bom-ba-ye" means "do it!" or "beat him up" and was started when Ali went to
South Africa, where the fans chanted "Ali, bom-ba-ye!"
In 1996, "Wood Bell," the official label of New Japan, released the arena version
for the first time.
