This is completely self serving and an indication of how lazy I am. Anyway, our softball team has decided that each batter will have into music. So myself and Rick need songs. Ideas for mine so far include Damn it Feels Good to Be a Gangsta, Batter Up (Nelly), Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw, Why can't we be friends, Send in the Clowns, and Bring the Pain. Any suggestions?
Posted by John at June 7, 2007 04:23 PMFor you? How about one of those songs that I've never heard, but runs through my head from you singing it at every damn opportunity, like:
- That "C4 to the door no beef no more" song,
- Or the classic, "Ex-girlfriend how you been..."
But I think, in the spirit of the longball, that DMX wins here - energy. "My Niggas" would be a great song, but it would probably get you killed. Maybe the "Ante up, kidnap that fool" song.
Also, look for a song called "Just Another Victim" from the Judgement Night soundtrack - Helmet and House of Pain together. I could send it to you over AIM. That'd be a good one.
Mine would be "Digital Bath" by Deftones, because hearing that song always makes me want to break something, have sex with something, or both. Or maybe that "Waitin for the DJ" song by Talib Kweli, the part like, "When the DJ let the needle drop the beat'll rock, the beat'll start boppin' my people got it poppin' like needle marks." Yeah.

Posted by: Chris at June 7, 2007 05:03 PMHow much time do you have? If you can squeeze in the lyrics to Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw, I say that. Otherwise, I recommend the Imperial March or the music from The Natural.
Posted by: roy at June 8, 2007 07:22 PMI have no idea how much time I have, I guess I could try and find out. Anyway, I've narrowed it to a list of 8 for now. One Mic by Nas, Whatcha Want by Nine, Invincible by Capone and Noreaga, Boom by Royce da 5'9", What's Up, Fatlip by Fatlip, Devil's Pie by D'Angelo, Number One by John Legend and Whoa Now by B Rich.
Posted by: John at June 8, 2007 08:57 PMHa, I was thinking of "Why Don't Get Drunk and Screw" as well. Also on my list:
That Face Down Ass Up song
Mmm Bop!
Why Can't we be friends....
Sweet Caroline
I do like the Imperial March too - good idea.
Posted by: Rick at June 9, 2007 07:04 AMRick, how can Livin' on a Prayer and Shoop not be on your list?
Posted by: John at June 9, 2007 10:01 AMRick's list is one song long. It's the only song he would rightfully come out to, and the only one we should let him come out to. It would be double awesome because I'm not under the impression that Rick would be very good at hitting a baseball.
The song is Danger Zone.
Posted by: Chris at June 9, 2007 02:52 PMOh yeah, Danger Zone is definitely on there as well - I forgot that. And Bon Jovi would be on there, but I think I'll hear that enough at the bar (same with Journey)
