""Hate Me Now" by Nas"
I just saw the video for this song and compared to the non-singing version I like the non-signing version better.

Dr. Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. -"Airplane!"

NaS dressed like Jesus carrying a cross... completely tasteless and hilarious.

It makes you really feel sorry for a guy who makes millions of dollars… I mean not only does he make hit records, but he’s dying for our sins. How could anyone “hate” NaS??

Ian Stewart

is currently using “Turn My Swag On” by Soulja Boy. One of the best awful rap songs I’ve ever heard.

I know!

The first game that I ever saw him play in was June of ‘07. I remember them playing Sweet Escape when he came up to bat, and I said to my dad, "Oh my God, Gwen Stefani! Spilborghs is the coolest player ever! He’s awesome! I like him."

And, here we are, two years later, he’s still the coolest guy ever. Except now I can say his name correctly.

he's trying to follow Tulo

who even had two at bat songs at the same time last year. The guy who’s in charge of the music would play “I’m a Flirt” and then if Tulo didn’t get a hit he’d play “Superstar”. Then after the DL, he went to “Gimme More” by Britney Spears, and then one more at the end which I’m not even sure what it was.

Those are all funny choices for an AB, too.

that Tulo also had “When I Grow Up” by the Pussycat Dolls

We need more Rockies

batting to corny new wave songs

The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.

That's not the song I was asking about

which I should have added, I did not hear in the 9th. The last game I was at (the sat San Fran game) there definitely was an adaptation of the “O Fortuna” section of Carmina Burana.

Since skaisda compared it to “crazy upbeat Lord of the Rings” music, I thought he also was referring to the “O Fortuna” tune. I guess he could have meant the linked tune, but it doesn’t sound very LOTRish to me, and I still wonder about that version of CB.

Was Jeff Baker last year. G’z and Hustlaz by Snoop Dogg. Nothing can beat that funky baseline. Too bad he just has an organ in the chi.

Two things:

one: Dexter used two different songs tonight. One was “get up”, but I’m not sure what the other one was.

Two: Does anyone know the music that they use before the game? Like, when they have the little clip show? I think one of the lines is “We’re going out tonight” but I’m terrible at those types of things.

Its definitely a tough spot to be in

Do we win while suffering or do we lose through luxury?

We should try to validate this empirically by getting Helton to bat to “Who let the dogs out”. If a 20 game win streak ensues then we can definitely confirm the positive relationship between wins and crappiness of music…

Ianetta - Genesis

Last year Chris had Genesis’ “I Can’t Dance” at one point at least.

You know what song I don't hear at the ballpark any more?

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Why is that?

That’s right, a Dante Bichette reference for my first ever post. I feel good about this.

You know, I have a sudden urge to post at length about other crappy bands with crappy songs who are rubbish

In particular prog dinosaur abominations. Who should I start with, I wonder…?

by biondino on Aug 27, 2009 11:15 AM MDT reply actions 0 recs

Meh.

Too much country/hip hop and not enough hard rock/metal for my tastes. You don’t hear too many players choosing something heavy for their music.

I recall

ESPN or somebody once did a survey on intro songs, and found that Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” had overwhelmingly the best stats. At the time, I recally Larry Walker and Chipper Jones, but there were a few other big dogs.

I do love Beimel's choice of Johnny Cash

When I first heard it in the stadium, I was confused; but it fits so well, and has to unnerve some young hitters.

We're a bit tentative on Raffy's music

I don’t know if it’s just generic “in between innings” music or if it’s actually his music.

Just about any song ever written is better than Hey Baby

At the football team I support over here, the song was adopted by certain parts of the crowd when our former chairman was trying to sell, and move, the club. “Hey, Charles Koppel, I wanna know why you’re such a c***”

missing the home run song

what is it, and why is it so gay? fans are excited about the home run so they applaud, but that song makes everybody clap in a slow rhythmic unison and it sounds so gay lol. fans should be going crazy during a home run that has some badass backing music not clapping to the beat of a technopop song that sounds like it should be a theme for a childrens tv show.

Worst song EVAR.

I know it will probably never leave because of how hot the team has been since they started playing it after homers and wins, but seriously, it is way too over played. After working at Six Flags the summer with the old guy dancing to that crap, I am so tired of it.
