We’ve all dreamed that we could play like Michael Jordan in his prime. Maybe you were waving your tongue out trying to dunk or executing his deadly fade away jumper, either way since his debut MJ has always been a bigger than life figure.

This was immortalized in possibly the biggest and best-known commercials in history. 25 years ago today (August 8,1991) the Gatorade “Be Like Mike” commercial was born. Weeks after MJ won his first title kids and adults were seen and heard singing this tune. It’s not too many people over 30 who don’t know the words to this classic jingle. Well, at least the short version of it.

However, if you need the words here you go and single along to the classic:

Sometimes I dream

That he is me

You’ve got to see that’s how I dream to be

I dream I move, I dream I groove

Like Mike

If I could Be Like Mike

Like Mike

Oh, if I could Be Like Mike

Be Like Mike, Be Like Mike

Again I try

Just need to fly

For just one day if I could

Be that way

I dream I move

I dream I groove

Like Mike

If I could Be Like Mike

I wanna be, I wanna be

Like Mike

Oh, if I could Be Like Mike
