Adults/Parents - What would YOUR Walk-Up Song Be?

Quiet Riot = Cum on feel the noise ,gotta be rocking th PA for e .

The guitar intro for HEART's BARRACUDA (first 20-25 seconds) would do it for me. It just rocks and makes a statement.

Softball season starts on Monday here at COB Adder / Tallil. Last season one of the Army teams had an IPOD connected to a PA speaker. They were kidding around and had walk-up songs. I figured if I had been on that team, mine would have been the theme from Jurassic Park.

I've found the plate... now where's the couch?

"If I was a white womans"
by Shirley Q Liquor

A little Southern R&R from JACKSONVILLE!!! Molly Hatchet - Flirtin' with Disaster The Mullet LIVES!

GED10DaD

Same one my son uses "A Country Boy Can Survive"

I think, perhaps, it would be In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, BABY!---I mean, who DOESN'T get a sense of adventure when you hear the opening phrases of that song? And, really, that's what you'd get when I would walk up to the plate!--Let's see, will she HIT it? Or would SHE get hit? Or strike out?

Here ya go! from the urban dictionary-------- 40 years after.....

I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner
That is what I truly wish to be
cause if i were a oscar mayer weiner
everyone would be in love
oh everyone would be in love
everyone would be in love with me....

Realistically these days it would have to be....

"Go Down Gamblin'" by Blood Sweat & Tears.

That, or... "Living on a Prayer".

(Prefer Molly Hatchet but GunEmDown got here first. Maybe he'll let me have "Beating The Odds".)


Somehow, I don't see myself striking fear in the opposing pitcher anymore.LOL.

As song that always got me pumped up was:

"Carry on Wayward Son" by Missouri (sorry, I just can't say that other state)

I Won't Back Down, Tom Petty

Going for the One by Yes

Enter Sandman Metallica

Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfR_HWMzgyc

Outlaws:

Green Grass and High Tides

Radar Love - Golden Earring

I Want Candy--- The Strangeloves

Radar Love is the best for getting pumped up but it's taken.

Always liked bad man behind blue eyes - the Who, or the Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel, but I'll go with:
Magic Man - Heart

Smells Like Teen Spirit!

I like great guitar riffs, and the best ones are from AC/DC...

TNT - AC/DC
Back In Black - AC/DC
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Hells Bells - AC/DC
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

Mr. Edward Van Halen has put out a few catchy jingles as well...

Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love - Van Halen
Everybody Wants Some!! - Van Halen
Unchained - Van Halen
Mean Street - Van Halen
Panama - Van Halen
You Really Got Me - Van Halen

Honorable mention:

Welcome To The Jungle - Guns N' Roses
Tom Sawyer - Rush
All Right Now - Free
Barracuda - Heart
Rock and Roll All Night - KISS
Should I Stay Or Should I Go - The Clash
Bad To The Bone - George Thorogood
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
You Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest
Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions
I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Walk This Way - Aerosmith

Think about this---this is a virtual world we know not too much about the posters but when we post our music likes it begins to tell a little bit about them


great stuff

Kinda like this one

SCAR SYMMETRY

Karn Evil 9

ONE OF THESE DAYS (I'm going to cut you into little pieces) - PINK FLOYD

ClevelandDad,

Too cool of a selection. One of my all time favorites.

Alot of big name bands in the late '70s refused to tour with The Outlaws in fear of getting blown off the stage. After my playing days were over, I promoted concerts (got to grow my hair out) for the university but could never work out a tour date with the band.

The Outlaws and Marshall Tucker...can't go wrong.

Have to agree with Bolt-Coach. AC/DC is tough to beat, but I would probably go with something from Alice Cooper-

Under My Wheels
Generation Landslide
Halo of Flies

Grew up in the '60's, just got through the steroid era only one song fits:

White Rabbit- Jefferson Airplane

Ted Nugent - Free For All

At this point,
Nothing From Nothing Leaves Nothing
is about right...

Love the classic rock choices, but considering my bad back, knees, and failing eyesight I might have go with Roy, Archie, and the Hee-Haw gang singing "Gloom, Depair"

Because I'm a Stones fan

Great list-----love the Ted Nugent reference---I saw him in concert last summer----what a HOOT!!!! High energy, great music, great stories. Love CAT SCRATCH FEVER . I think when I get tired of In-A-Gadda_Da-Vida, I'll use that one.

Anyone remember these one-hit wonders? This is some solid riffin'. First heard this in '80 when I was working a college summer in Georgia, and they were having such a heatwave, chickens were dropping dead all over the state.

Heatstrokes by Krokus

This would be up there in my top 3 walk-ups:
Balls to the Wall by Accept

(gotta love the stage posing and sychnronized headbanging by the boys from Deutschland!)

"Metal Heart" by the same fellas would also be a great one. I believe it's used by one of the big WWE guys as his walk-on.

Siberian Khatru by Yes

No connection to baseball at all -- just begins hard, with energy, and has just the right length of opening stanza before the PA guys would cut it off.

.

"...just the right length of opening stanza..."

I know exactly what you're talking about Midlo Dad...



...it's really cut and dried!

Copperhead Road by Steve Earle

I hate to see what this says about me TR. LOL

Pants hanging down, Looking like a clown!
