Nats Park--Fans Choose the Music

bmfc1 Mar 13 2008 11:28 AM

If you go to the Nationals website, the team is asking fans to choose the music for certain situations. As a participant in a season ticket plan, I felt entitled to vote. -------------------------------------------- Which of the following songs would you most like to hear played whenever a Nationals player hits a home run in Nationals Park this season? Because We Can by Fatboy Slim Bustin Loose by Chuck Brown Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation Off We Go (Air Force Theme) by Robert Crawford Song 2 (Woo Hoo) by Blur Which of the following songs would you most like to hear played during the 7th inning stretch at every game in Nationals Park this season? Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations The Gambler by Kenny Rogers Rock Me Gently by Andy Kim September by Earth Wind and Fire Shout by Otis Day And The Knights Twist And Shout by The Beatles YMCA by the Village People You Gotta Have Heart by Damn Yankees The Musical Which of the following songs would you most like to hear played after every Nationals win in Nationals Park this season? Beautiful Day by U2 Celebration by Kool And The Gang Dancing In The Streets by Martha Reeves and the Vandelas How Do You Like Me Now by Toby Keith Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter

Have they named that ballpark yet? Or is it really going to be Nationals Park?

It's still "Nationals Park" while the local businesses try to come up with the dough for the name. E.g., GEICO is in the running.

My guess is that they have a name sponsor but it's so embarrassing that they're waiting until the pope blows out of town so we don't have to have His Holiness at the HooterCenter or something.

Good lord. The only acceptable choice on that list is "Dancing in the Street" for a victory. But they already use it (quite appropriately) in Detroit. Maybe there's something Washington-related they could possibly use?

Benjamin Grimm Mar 13 2008 11:53 AM

It may not be Washingtony, but my vote would be for Tony Randall singing "Happy and Peppy and Bursting with Love"

]my vote would be for Tony Randall singing "Happy and Peppy and Bursting with Love" Let's hit Heilman where he lives... Love "You Gotta Have Heart" for the stretch. Any other Washington baseball-themed musicals?

Great Washington musicians whose music should be played at the Nationals Ballpark: Duke Ellington Marvin Gaye Fugazi Dismemberment Plan Bad Brains Bob Mould

Benjamin Grimm Mar 13 2008 12:32 PM

Bob Mould? Wasn't he the Republican presidential nominee in 1996?

AG/DC Mar 13 2008 12:36 PM

He should have been. HR from Bad Brains actually grew up down by the site of the new stadium, I think. Nonetheless, I don't anticipate they'll play "Pay to Cum" after each homer.

Wow, a band with their own Human Resources department.

Gil Scott Heron, another Washingtoner.

The Seventh Inning Stretch Will Not Be Televised.

Rock Me Slowly is a choice?!?!?!?! Insane! For my money, one can never go wrong with Build Me Up Buttercup, though.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 13 2008 12:58 PM

Is that the Neil Diamond song?

It isn't DC without a [url=http://www.georgeclinton.com/]Clinton[/url].

I take that back about Gil Scott-Heron. He's actually a New Yorker by way of Chicago and Tennessee. I've always thought he was from Washington, don't know why. It's the Mets who should use The Revolution Will Not Be Televised for the 7th inning stretch, not the Nats.

Maybe they thought they were getting the Neil Diamond song.

seawolf17 Mar 13 2008 01:37 PM

I'd go with Kiss Me Deadly before Rock Me Slowly. I think the fans should write in Ronan Tynan for the seventh inning stretch and force the team to acquire him from the Yankees.

bmfc1 Mar 13 2008 04:24 PM

"Rock Me Slowly" is the song in the Jeep commercial with the singing animals. Joan Jett is from Wheaton, MD so they could play "I Love Rock and Roll."

AG/DC Mar 13 2008 05:38 PM

Joan is an Oriole nut to the core.
