Help with at-bat music


On my co-ed softball team, we decided to be idiots and have everybody pick an at-bat song to be played over a portable ipod dock.  Most of the picks are pretty expected - Crazy Train, Baby Got Back, Eye of the tiger, TNT - but one friend is trusting me to pick something good for her.

I'm stumped.  It needs to be something with Latin flair, but I never pay enough attention at the games to notice a good song, much less figure out the name.

Help!

“Centerfield” – J. Fogerty.

I think that was Garko’s song.

What a terrible song.

A fun little gizmo from ESPN The Magazine

When he was an Expo, Baboo used Black Betty by Ram Jam.

Garko = Rick Ross = I suddenly like Ryan Garko.

There’s that newer pop song that is catchy as hell, “I know you want me” by Pitbull.

I LOVE this song and I didn’t know what it was called or who did it and now I know. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yeah, it’s going to end up being Pitbull just for recognition sake. Shake is also a good song. I keep looking for more. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Go Girl is good. I think it would be funny to walk up to the beginning. I don’t know how clean you want it to be though.

Go Girl is good, but I think I like more Spanish. I’m leaning towards the first riff (after Lil Jon) from the Anthem, then the “one, two, three, four” from I Know You Want Me. No reason we can’t use both.

and The Anthem is good

Depending on her knowledge of spanish and overall feelings about hilarious vulgarity, you could always go with Don Omar, or, really any Reggaeton:

I can’t stand Pit Bull.

very well-made video though.

Also trying to figure out my own song, combing humor, irony, fun, goofiness…

by Matt in LA on Sep 2, 2009 1:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Go with way-too-solemn-and-gangster-for-softball. Like “Still D.R.E” or something.

by joeee on Sep 2, 2009 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That might work. Since I’m leading off I want to use the beginning of Nelly – Batter Up:
Welcome ladies and gentlemen
We got a crowd that’s in a frenzy Bob
Let’s go down to the announcers for the start of the game

And now.. please rise for the singing of our national anthem

… then I can jump to some part of Still DRE.

Done. 3rd at bat. If anybody ever records a game, I promise to upload it.

I wish I played on your team, I’d step to bat with When the Lights Go Out by the Black Keys.

Your softball team must be awesome.

by fwembt on Sep 2, 2009 10:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I can’t promise awesome, but we’re definitely the funniest. You have no idea how many hours my buddy and I put in trying to find the best possible tandem nicknames for our jersey. Ultimately, we may end up with a different jersey for every game.

by Matt in LA on Sep 3, 2009 12:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I didn’t mean that in relation to how you play. The most I’ve ever had playing softball was on a team that was mediocre on good nights.
