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!

That Andy Marte mumble song.

“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.

There goes 2 hours of work. Excellent.

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.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

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.

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

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.

by Matt in LA on Sep 2, 2009 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

and The Anthem is good

by Matt in LA on Sep 2, 2009 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

Good lord, that song is awful.

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  

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  

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 Brad D on Sep 2, 2009 10:51 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

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.
