Your Own Batting Theme song

by Hutch (someone took my name) on Sep 7, 2006 12:39 PM PDT Comment 66 comments

This is related to Rev's last "Favorite Albums" post.

If you were on the Angels, what would your theme song be when you went up to bat? You can pick two for the stadium to alternate. Also keep in mind that it would only be about the first 10 seconds of the song.

Mine:
Iggy Pop: 'I Wanna Be your Dog'
Bad Religion: 'The Empire Strikes First'

If this diary has been done already, sorry about that... just bored at work

"Pirate Love" by Johnny Thunders
"Archangel" by Samhain (right up to the part where Glenn shouts "Go!")

I've totally thought about this:

"Buddy Holly" by Weezer "Game Over" by Ozma but I think I'd want those to be the songs I come as a closer. I'd rather be a pitcher than a batter.

by RubixsQube on Sep 7, 2006 1:13 PM PDT reply actions

yeah, didn't even think about relief pitching!

that reqiures a whole differnt spin on it. I'll have to think about that one...

I got it!

Rolling Stones: 'Gimmie Shelter'

Sweet!

That would get some OC mommies nervous. Speaking of which, maybe the reliever category needs to include the best hard driving melodies with the most obscene lyrics!

Coming in as a reliever...

Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls or Seek & Destroy. Or Garth Brooks - Fever. Can't decide.

As a batter... no idea.

Peace Dog

always sounded too funky or something to me. I guess I'm more into the "grittier" sound of songs like Lil Devil, Wild Flower, Love Removal, etc.

but you got some fucked up idea of funk.

Peace Dog is a lot more rock than all those songs you mentioned.

None taken

I know you're a musician. I don't know how to define it really. Maybe I should say I like the other songs because they have more of a hard rock sound. Does that make sense? Shit, who cares. I just like the other songs better.

"You've Got Another Thing Coming" by Judas Priest

by yeswecan on Sep 7, 2006 4:56 PM PDT reply actions

I love these topics today...

"Bastards of Young" by The Replacements. It's a great setup, with the opening hook, then the whole band rocking it and Paul Westerberg's howl. This would be my game-in, game-out AB song.

Every so often- not all the time, but just when we're down a run in 8th or later and there's a man onand at least an out- every so often- when we really NEEDED it- I'd come to the plate to The Stooges' "TV Eye."

10 seconds would be just enough for Iggy screaming, the opening lick, and the drum roll into that awesome baseline... it'd bring the house down.

Oh, totally

"If I Can't Have You," by Yvonne Elliman, the most dramatic and ridiculous 15-20 second intro in pop history. Written by the Brothers Gee, of course. Get off me!
