Re: BP Songs

I am going to make a new CD for our team to listen to during Batting Practice.

What songs should I put on it?

The trick is it has to appeal to the players -AND- the people in the stands (parents/scouts/etc). The players are getting sick of country, most rap songs have profanity.

Let's create the Ultimate HS Baseball Web BP Album?

In my experience songs off the video games guitar hero, rock band, or the college baseball games are the most popular among players...not to mention some classics. Here are a few I love to hear

ACDC "Back in Black"
Audioslave "Cochise"
Eve 6 "Anytime"
Foo Fighters "My Hero"
Greenday "When I come around"
Ozzy "Crazy Train"
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Snow ((Hey Oh))"
The Scorpions "Rock you like a hurricane"

Also.....
Anything by Johnny Cash
Any baseball song (ex. Centerfield)

Steve,

I posted this on the "for players only" forum.
My kids suggested it.
The song is "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva.

I wondered if you would notice that one Woody

That song always seems to put me in a good mood and I have never run across anyone who didn't like it.

I was just going to suggest that song...I was playing winter ball in Arizona, and came across a funny story of a guy from San Diego who said his dad was IN Iron Maiden, but then changed his story to Iron Butterfly..haha

I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!!!!

I am so grateful for anyone who has saved a "scratchy 45" or an album, took a video of it and posted it! And to those people who have posted the concerts and tv shows and commercials!!!! Wow, talk about the "lost years"! I love it. I can sit and watch them all day and all night. Love it, love it!!!!

play baseball,

I have pulled up some songs that I loved back in the day and saw a video that I didn't even know existed and then went "wow, that's who sang that song".

Still some great memories of those 70's songs.

That Lindy Hop looks a lot like some big time wrestling was thrown in for good measure. Wow, do you think that was at actual speed? I had to take a nap after wathing it. I'm too old for Lindy!

Thanks for contributing to this thread. There are a lot of very good suggestions and I am going to make a CD (or 2) w/ songs listed here. I would never have thought of several of these songs without your help as I didn't even know the title or artist of many of them even though once I heard them, I knew them.

Keep 'em coming.............

I've now stored 297 songs on my laptop and claim to have every song that sounds good over a baseball PA system, but my favorite, and the one that starts our high school's BP for 9 years running, is "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress", original version, not the recent re-make.

The most popular song, based upon getting requests almost every game, and this really is a song:

"I Met My Baby in the Porta-John Line", by Nothing Fancy. It's a great blue grass song crowds just love. (I even made a copy for a guy to play as the first song at his wedding reception.)

Nothing Fancy also plays "Oops, Momma Done Stepped On the Scales Again".
