stadium music

[jezza1918]

hey everyone...i am a first time poster here and am trying to gather people's opinions on something.
i will be in charge of the stadium music for the Mobile bayBears (AA for padres). my goal is to have a song to play right after the national anthem, while the baybears warm up to start off the game. i want to try to find an original song (NOT 'start me up' or 'lets get it started.' i want to play this song every night so people start to indentify that song with the Baybears...any thoughts
thanks

"Sweet Maxine" by the Doobie Brothers. A GREAT classic rocker that isn't overplayed and is sure to get the blood moving at the ballpark.

However, I must say I'm not much of a fan of canned music at the ballpark, I think a live organist/keyboardist should be mandatory at every ballpark.

I would suggest "Old Black Betty" from the Blow Soundtrack. The song can be easily downloaded from any music sharing program (kazaa, etc.)

Let me know what you think.

"Centerfield" by John Fogerty. The best baseball song ever.

Either Centerfield as mentioned before or Cheap Seats by Alabama (even though the lyrics say AAA, and you are AA).

Jezza, I think first of all...it would be a good idea to figure out what type of folk attend the games. Not to sound like I'm labeling or anything...but if there are a certain type of people with similar taste/styles...then you can just take it from there after you have narrowed it down to a particular genre of music that would get the people jumping.

Greatest rock instrumental, ever, by the best session band, ever.
Black Betty is by Ram Jam, from an old Leadbelly tune.

How about Linus and Lucy, by Dave Grusin (?), better known as the Peanuts song?

[Capngroovy]

Karnevil #9 from Emerson, Lake & Palmer is a good one..."Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend..."

But then I'm sure Mobile has a good local band that wouldn't mind recording a little something "Bear specific."

[RuthMayBond]

If that's Mobile Alabama, how about "Sweet Home Alabama"?

[mobile eggroll]

what was the name of that one song that had the line "put me in coach, i'm ready to play"? try that one if you can remember the name

Centerfield, by John Fogerty of CCR fame.
Good song, but done and done and done.

[Bleacherbee]

Everybody Hurts by REM

[Bulldog]

"Hair of the dog" by Nazerath, I don't think you could get away with it though.
Centerfield would be your best bet.
