If you were a closer, what would be your entrance theme?

We've all heard Hoffman's Hells Bells, but what would you pick? Are you the AC/DC type? Or are you the BTO taking care of business personality? Share your thoughts, provide youtube videos, I don't care. Funny suggestions are also acceptable to (Why Can't We Be Friends). If Lidge sucks this year, at least he can do it with a kickass closer theme
Me - Can I play With Madness (Iron Maiden)

Does this mean we could then have a man with a fan and parachute come in and save lidge when he gets in trouble?

I'll have to find a recording of it
But Savatage’s Thorazine Shuffle (not Gov’t Mule’s song of the same name), with the first 35 seconds playing before coming out.
"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe"
More conceptually, is it better to use a pump-you-up song (like Drowning Pool) or something dark and foreboding (like Hell’s Bells)? Or maybe something altogether different?
Rammstein’s Barbie Girl?

If we’re looking for the worst song for the occasion (in terms of lyrics), I would nominate “Give It Away” by the Chili Peppers. Maybe we should play that when the visitors try to close out a game.
They should put it in a video montage of the last two NLCS and play it next time Jonathan Broxton pitches at CBP.
just play Lidge’s last season

don’t miss this one to play over the Broxton montage. Pity baseball has to be a family show.

“Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult. I love the song and the creepy vibe it gives off.

Nothing would be more badass than

agree. Surprised that’s not already more common.
by Wet Luzinski on Feb 25, 2010 11:09 PM EST up reply actions
newer song
but Muse – Uprising. Could double as a fight song.
Chase Utley is so good that on one pitch he stole second, third and the shortstop's hat.
I think I’d want either Zero or Tarantula by the Smashing Pumpkins.

“you see, the first time my dad kissed my mom was at a Love Handel concert”
I laughed so hard i spit my coffee up all over the place. I think I scalded the inside of my nose. I wandered if Love Handel ever thought about doing a cover of this Spinal Tap classic.
Ha! I’d never seen Lego live action recreations… that was extraordinary.
I’m just enamored of Phineas and Ferb these days. One of the best-written kids’ shows since Rocky and Bullwinkle.
by Wet Luzinski on Feb 28, 2010 9:06 PM EST up reply actions
I didn’t really appreciate Rocky and Bullwinkle until I appreciated Jello Biafra.
I have to check out Phineas and Ferb… it takes some balls to write that stuff for effin Disney whose so image conscious that their in-house security have alledgely pulled an Archdiocese Kobayashi Maru for a bad touch Mickey, or a groping Goofy….well at least they were one step ahead of the Chruch by not shipping the offenders to other Disneys, but still like a ditzy bishop forgot to tell the police….
I might be tempted to play that for opposing teams’ conferences on the mound.

My ultimate fantasy would be to have Mariano Rivera-like powers and be able to dictate the song, and be so good I could walk into any song. Like this one.
But a more standard fantasy would be to have my hgh-fueled, steroid-laden, camouflage undershirt-and-machete-in-the-lockerroom career year where my pupils don’t look in the same direction all year and the press is afraid to talk to me as I rack up 60 saves while only grunting at the press. I’d come in to something vaguely disturbing.
Looks like we got us a good ol’ fashioned car chase!

entschuldigung, that was for Touchdown.

Good for closers or wrestlers, LOL!
"Red, it took me sixteen years to get here. You play me, and I'll give ya the best I got."
List
P.O.S. – Drumroll (We’re All Thirsty)
Mos Def – Auditorium
N.O.R.E. (feat. many rappers) – Banned From TV
Clint Mansell – Lux Aeterna
Ghostface Killah – Daytona 500
Beastie Boys – Car Thief
Snoop Dogg – Lay Low
Camp Lo – Luchini
I’d go with this one.
Works on two levels: it sounds totally badass, and it speaks to the fungibility of closers.
I f***ing hate Youtube links
Name your goddamn songs, people.
I’d probably come in to either Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck or Whose Fist Is This Anyway? by Prong.
First time I saw them was in ‘86 when Primitive Origins came out….great record….one of the seminal gems of the metal/hardcore crossover genre. If I were to go with a Prong song it’d be The Taming off of Force Fed or Defiant from their Peel Sessions EP. I could also go with In My Veins , Primitive Origins or Peel Seesions version, in a pinch.
I f***ing hate Youtube links
Name your goddamn songs, people.
Yeah, because everyone knows Prong …their records sell like hotcakes. The links are fun.
The point
I don’t want to have to click on a link to find out what a song is, especially one I already know.
that is unbelievably hilarious. I lol’ed

Also, if I played for the Phils, I might be inclined to go with some hometown flavor for my at bat music:
you can go from being a star to a scumbag overnight
the Man’s office is covered in bugs.
Let’s face it, my future don’t look like the Jetsons.
Man, that is just a GREAT song.

He actually says “the mayor’s office is covered in bugs” which makes it even greater if you remember the John Street FBI investigation fiasco.

What's with the Effin' Yankees Hat?
At (1:51) in the video you can clearly see that symbol of the corporate Satan on someone’s hat. Cool song. I just moved back last year after a twenty plus year hiatus in DC….The only Philly hip hop I heard was the Roots. That being said it’s not a genre I follow as much as I do hardcore/punk/metal so there’s probably alot stuff from here I don’t know about. If so, and you have the time, could give me a list of the home grown who you think is worth checking out?
