No idea. Only found about it in Marty Noble's notes column from today.

Is it just me? At the game yesterday, I never noticed anyone's theme song. I did notice "Lazy Mary."

] David Wright - several, including Fame, David Bowie Oh please David,I hope the fans picked this one.

soupcan Apr 10 2007 07:46 AM

I noticed that an ELO song was played for one of Wright's ABs but now I don't remember which on song it was.

Gwreck Apr 11 2007 02:40 PM

Are you sure it was ELO? Sources seem to indicate that these are David's 4 songs: David Bowie - Fame Cassie - Me and You Big Pun - I'm Not a Player Julez Santana - The Second Coming

Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2007 02:46 PM

That "Fame" isn't the one from the movie, is it? "I wanna live forever..." I pretty much NEVER notice any player's entrance music, but last year there was one significant exception: Carlos Beltran's El Esta Aqui. (I thought it was "Vanis Takee.") Beltran was so hot at one point last year that whenever there were runners on base and I'd hear "Vanis Takee" I'd feel a surge of anticipation. I would have known his at bat was next anyway, of course, but somehow that song became associated in my mind with big base hits. I hope that happens again this year.

cooby Apr 11 2007 05:59 PM

That David Bowie Fame song is god awful/ear catchy all in one song.

Updated 4/20. Pelfrey didn't use Heat of the Moment tonight. Maybe it was a one-time deal. He definetly had a song when he was warming up in the first but I couldn't catch what it was.

Gwreck Apr 23 2007 08:58 PM

Thanks Martin! Will add it to the list. Willets, sorry, it seems like I Just Want to Celebrate was an Opening-Day-only song. Saturday was the only other win I've attended, but I understand TCB was used at the other wins too.

Benjamin Grimm May 01 2007 11:50 AM

I think Paul Shaffer should just choose everybody's song.

Willets Point May 01 2007 11:59 AM

I came up with an idea a while back that the Mets (or any imaginative team) should have an in-stadium band that plays music much the way the organist was common in the past. It would be a way to get a contemporary sound into the ballpark without just spinning the the same old records played everywhere and it would be a unique promotion.

Edgy DC May 01 2007 12:03 PM

That's a good idea. I came up with an idea a while back that ballparks should stop playing "Rock and Roll, Part II."

A moratorium on "YMCA" and "Sweet Caroline" (excepting Fenway Park) would be welcome too.

The question is whether the man has been getting resituals from the public performances to help pay for his defense or his flights to new hunting grounds.

Gwreck May 19 2007 12:39 AM

Joe Smith definetly has a song used each time he comes out. I just can't figure out what it is. If you can help...please do! The only bigger mystery is the default "you-don't-have-a-song-so-we-use-this" song they use. It's been used for Gomez and Gotay both. I'd love to know what it is. It sounds suspiciously like 80s hair metal/arena rock. I don't know what it'll be but there's definetly a prize if you can help me figure out what it is. Damion Easley was rocking "Too Legit to Quit" by Hammer before one of his at-bats Friday night. Time will tell if this is a permanent thing or not.

Batty31 May 20 2007 06:49 PM

Although he doesn't use it as entry music, Volare is played quite frequently during LoDuca's at bats.

OlerudOwned May 23 2007 08:50 PM

Reyes is one of 3 players to use the song "Chacarron." The song is hilarious, huge hat tip to GYC for showing it to me.

Gwreck May 30 2007 11:24 PM

Thanks OO for the help! Chacarron is Reyes' 4th song, with This Is Why I'm Hot the s2nd song, and Walk It Out the 3rd. I think the first one is one of the reggateton beats created by Reyes himself (?). Perez is either changing up his music or perhaps letting the stadium change it up for him. Not sure, but it wasn't the Jacksons used on Tuesday. Carlos Gomez has music now too...still trying to ID that. I think all the relievers except Sele have music now too. Not 100% sure about Feliciano. The goal of getting everybody this year is getting a little closer.

Gwreck Jun 06 2007 12:42 AM

Newhan has switched to Mo' Money, Mo' Problems by Notorious B.I.G. Any help on IDing Gomez' and Johnson's music would be much appreciated.

bmfc1 Jun 06 2007 03:43 AM

I thought I heard Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out" when Newhan came up last night. I also thought that it would be an unusual theme song for a ball player as it's a gay anthem--not that there's anything wrong with that!

Edgy DC Jun 06 2007 05:46 AM

Everything is a gay anthem. The real question is whether "Lights" was a personal Felicano song.

Elster88 Jun 06 2007 06:11 AM

="bmfc1"]I thought I heard Diana Ross's "I'm Coming Out" when Newhan came up last night. I also thought that it would be an unusual theme song for a ball player as it's a gay anthem--not that there's anything wrong with that! LOL, you're dating yourself. As GWreck noted, the song is Mo Money, Mo Problems by Biggie Smalls. It uses the beat from I'm Coming Out. Lots of rap/hip-hop these days uses beats from old songs. They call it sampling. Even though some of the songs come out good, I call it a lack of skill. Steal a beat and mumble some gibberish loosely in time with it and you've got a hit. (And I like Mo Money, Mo Problems, as well as some others) What was that line way back in season 2 (1?) that Christopher said when Hesh and the rapper got in a spat?

bmfc1 Jun 06 2007 06:37 AM

Elster88--HA! Thanks for the update. I'm not familiar with "Mo Money, Mo Problems" (although I am familiar with Willy Mo Pena and, sadly, Mo Vaughn). I know what "beats" are and what sampling is but to me, these "artists" should come up with their own music.

Gwreck Jun 18 2007 08:39 PM

Did he pick that one? Not to stereotype too much but that's a very white song.

Gwreck Jun 21 2007 12:15 AM

Updates, Updates.... Thanks TransMonk for Ledee's song. Reyes is using new songs for at-bats #1 and 2. The songs for at-bats #3-5 (below) remain the same. Most wanted list: El Duque Carlos Gomez Ruben Gotay I'm still not quite sure what is used for Wright's at-bat #3. I'm fairly confidant that neither Sele nor Feliciano have their own songs.

LoDuca was using Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple) tonight. Carlos Beltran shook up his music ever-so-brielfy during the last homestand, but appears to have gone back to using his regular song for every at-bat (for the last home series before the ASB, it had only been used the first time up). Anyone know what Gotay and Milledge are using?

Gwreck Aug 10 2007 11:12 PM

Long Since due for an update...new additions in bold. Most wanted: The new Jose Reyes reggaeton song -- starts with the Jose, Jose Jose chant and, as far as I can tell, is about Jose.

Since the 2008 regular season has not yet begun, I have placed this Mets music related note, from today's [u:7be9e3fd1f]Newsday[/u:7be9e3fd1f], in the thread from 2007: Perhaps Smith someday can be like Heilman, who was approached by a Mets PR official who asked him which song he'd like played when he enters games at Shea this season. Heilman, who changed from The Clash's "London Calling" to "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes last season, didn't have an answer. "I'll have to think about that," he said. But he won't have to think about his role.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 21 2008 05:25 AM

Heilman rocks.

Gwreck Jul 16 2008 11:55 AM

Heilman has abandoned "Seven Nation Army" for "Paint it Black," btw.
