Everything is Beautiful by Ray Stevens.

This could be good.

Matt LaPorta by The Cleveland Sports Band (Lala link). Quite possibly the worst song in the world.

Something by The Doors?

I’ve hoped that someday a player would pick the worse song they knew as a joke…

by stuart dean on Mar 29, 2010 12:54 PM EDT reply actions

That’s why if I was a baseball player, I would go with either this:

Or, much more likely, this:

Yes on the second one.

I honestly think that A) if I was a baseball player, I would indeed use Lip Gloss as my at-bat song, just for the humor/psych-out value and B) any player, on any team, with absolutely no exceptions, who did that would be my favorite player of all time forever.

Given the mid-song paean to her Yankee cap, it might be more appropriate for Shelley Duncan, God rest his soul.

Danzig- Mother

Baseball fans are junkies, and their heroin is the statistic. - Robert S. Wieder

This was my walkout song in college. It comes highly recommended.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

+1 on the Danzig song.

Also, Parsons Project. Best walkout song ever.

I still want to hear someone choose “When the Lights Go Out” by the Black Keys.

“Just a Little Heat”

And our eighth inning song should be “Hold Me in Your Arms”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=653PLUXWQuA

“Sweet Caroline” can suck it – metaphorically speaking.

Mmm, good stuff. Their new album is due out in May, too. Can’t wait.

Auerbach heads in a slightly different direction. Falsetto on the first song. A little less Hill Country, a little more swampy.

by odradek on Mar 29, 2010 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Well, two different albums there and each of their albums seems to have a distinct feel.

I meant on Brothers, but yes, they do try to distinguish their releases.

Ohhh, you’ve heard an advance? I missed the translation there and didn’t pay close enough attention to what you were saying about the songs. Shame on me.

Wait, how do you know what the songs sound like? I can’t find a preview anywhere?

Everlasting Light (Track #1)

God bless you Sir. I will buy you a hot dog the next time we’re at a baseball game.

Mmm, delicious. A nice little progression into some soul.

any interest in hip-hop? their Blakroc collaboration effort is pretty good.

You are reading my signature.

by rolub on Mar 30, 2010 2:20 PM EDT up reply actions

I’ve got that as well. There is another Blakroc project coming out soon, hopefully in 2010. They’re working with some Chicago based hip hop group for it, don’t remember which.

How You Like Me Now, by The Heavy

No thanks, I don’t want a Kia Sorento.

Or in a TNT Network Original

I’ll take a Paul Sorento.

Is this the whale section?

Anything by the Dixie Chicks.

D.C. Talk would fit right?

by hans on Mar 29, 2010 4:44 PM EDT reply actions

Girl Talk. You know, with all those family-friendly rhymes.

Coincidentally, I saw this video just yesterday. Spotted it in the “related videos” sidebar on youtube. What related video had I been watching? Righeira’s Vamos a la Playa. No need for me to offer a link.

by jhon on Mar 30, 2010 11:16 PM EDT up reply actions

The best I could come up with is “This Little Light of Mine.”

Castrovince’s suggestion.

Mavis Staple’s version.

by odradek on Mar 31, 2010 11:14 AM EDT up reply actions

Mavis is always great. Neko Case did a killer live version of this song on The Tigers Have Spoken. For that matter, Broooooooooce also did a killer live version, on the Live From Dublin album with The Sessions Band.
