This Week’s KSK Commenter Draft: Songs You’d Want For Your Pregame Introduction
Baseball players get a personalized song every time they step up to bat. I would like that to happen to me in some way, shape, or form. That would be badass. Hence, this draft. This is the song you’ll be using to announce yourself to a crowd of 50,000 plus.
The rules: This can be any song by any artist. Once you pick a song, you cannot pick any other song by that artist, though other drafters may if they have not already. Pick a song, then wait ten picks till the next song.
That’s Josh Homme. He’s a fucking badass. I’ll be picking him up later on, but for now my first choice is the “Die! Die! Die!” bridge of “Creeping Death” by Metallica. I’ve already given my tribute to it.
Rock on, kids.
NOTE: If you do not own “Era Vulgaris” already, please do yourself the courtesy of going out and buying and/or stealing it. Don’t make me thrash you.
Tags: Big Daddy Drew, ksk commenter drafts, let's see how well you people follow protocol

Fuck, it’s only 7:10am Friday morning back home right now. This might take a while to get going. It’s 7:10pm in Hong Kong right now, and I’m still at work and in desperate need of a diversion. BDD, instead of just the 10 picks rule, can we do something like wait 10 picks or 15 minutes, whichever comes first?
July 6th, 2007 at 7:29 am
No.
July 6th, 2007 at 7:32 am
Ghostface Killah - “The Champ”

O Fortuna, from Carmina Burana by Orff. Always gets me pumped.
July 6th, 2007 at 8:12 am
What, just because I’m stuck in the UK for a week doesnt mean I’m gonna give up my draft picks, fuck that.
I’m gonna go with Clay Akin’s…
Scratch that, I’ll take Guns n Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle. The first 45 seconds of that song cannot be matched.

It helps me focus when I’m pitching against the Yankees. Also it’ll scare the beejesus out of those yuppies from Connecticut and make them head for ze hills
July 6th, 2007 at 8:39 am
Playing with the Boys from Top Gun…
Lets people know I mean business at the plate, while also expressing my love for huskier women like Kelly McGillis

Seven Nation Army.
July 6th, 2007 at 8:45 am
Dude, I’ve been thinking about this since I was a teenager practicing my Bret Boone batting stance in front of the mirror:
“Cowboy Dan” by Modest Mouse.
July 6th, 2007 at 8:48 am
I would have to pick my actual theme song by Ludacris,
“Pimpin’ All Over the World”.
As they say in “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” - it’s my theme music, every good hero should have some.
July 6th, 2007 at 8:49 am
metal’s turn
March of the Pigs - NIN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhK-rzjfUMw
July 6th, 2007 at 8:49 am

July 6th, 2007 at 8:56 am
remember the name by fort minor, big east tournament last year was insane
July 6th, 2007 at 8:56 am
Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Fans would love it. Sports franchises would eat the “All-American” thing up and ESPN would undoubtedly do a “piece” on this “new breed of old style American athlete… who harkens back to the day of Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson and Tom Landry.”
It would secure me a fat contract and a little bit of “cushion” when I get a little advanced in my career and lack the stuff I had in my youth.
July 6th, 2007 at 8:59 am
Beat on the Brat - The Ramones
After all, it’s “beat on the brat with a baseball bat”
July 6th, 2007 at 8:59 am
Nirvana - “Lithium”
(yes, predictable, I know)
July 6th, 2007 at 9:00 am
John Williams - “Imperial March (Vader’s Theme)”.
As pathetic as Star Wars is/has become, it’s still badass intro music.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:01 am
“Circle of Cysquatch” by Mastodon, the only metal band it is possible for a pop music nerd like me to liek because they are one of the few ones that actually think of themselves in an ironic way rather than, say, Dragonforce or Cradle of Filth who take themselves super serious.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Soundgarden - Outshined
Cornell may be a pussy nowadays, but that chunky intro riff makes for an ominous entrance.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:02 am
gay’s turn
Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John
- hey, it’s a catchy tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51V1VMkuyx0

Manowar
July 6th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Am I the only one looking forward to Wormfather panicking when he realizes he hasn’t made a pick yet and blurting out something by Kid Rock before he realizes how fucking lame he is? Those moments always kill me.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:15 am
I’ve waited 10 picks…
can’t believe y’all missed this one:

July 6th, 2007 at 9:17 am
“Angel of Death” - Slayer
July 6th, 2007 at 9:18 am
“We just couldn’t believe Disturbed was sitting there in the middle of the fourth round. I figured there MUST have been something wrong with the other drafters to have passed up such a classic as many as four times! I mean, this was the best mediocre butt rock that 2002 had to offer! We feel we got great value here.”
Also, I pick The Theme from Rocky. Everyone picked Eye of the Tiger for years, but this song is fucking awesome, with about 10% the gay.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:18 am
Shut Em’ Down - Public Enemy
We used to play this as the last song before we took the field in HS football. Definitely and Al Bundy moment, but it will forever get my blood pumping.

Blondie - “Heart of Glass”
July 6th, 2007 at 9:25 am
“Heaven and Hell” - Black Sabbath
How fucking ominous is the intro to that song?
July 6th, 2007 at 9:26 am

July 6th, 2007 at 9:28 am

July 6th, 2007 at 9:35 am
@otto man: Party and Bullshit (Ratatat Remix) — Great verses… poor, poor chorus.
My choice: “Things Are Getting Better” — N*E*R*D*
You feel like a pimp just walking around while it’s playing.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:36 am
Can’t believe I slept this long on Rusty Cage by Johnny Cash, NOT the shitty Soundgarden original.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:36 am

hit the lights by metallica
July 6th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Has the statute of limitations expired on Hulk Hogan’s use of this?
July 6th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Need a little Mike Patton here, “Surprise, You’re Dead!” by Faith No More
July 6th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Godsmack - “Awake”

July 6th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Theme from Phantom of the Opera
I can’t even tell if that is a great pick or an awful one….
Awful. And grungedave: Nothing says “I never got my GED” like Disturbed.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:41 am
Hashpipe by Weezer
July 6th, 2007 at 9:41 am
Godsmack AND Disturbed, grungedave? Man, I bet you were pissed smello beat you to Limp, huh?
July 6th, 2007 at 9:41 am
Yeesh. All the Limp Bizkit/Godsmack/Disturbed nonsense is really making me lose my erection.

Uhhh….

July 6th, 2007 at 9:43 am
My Ass Is On Fire - Mr. Bungle
Just to give the kids nightmares.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:43 am
since my online training course is taking forever to load i’ll just make my 5th pick:
Dr. Funkenstein by Parliament
“We love you Dr. Funkenstein your funk is the best!”
What better intro could anyone ask for?
Now I got my funk position covered. I’m owning diversity in this draft.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:43 am
fuck Fred Durst…
and anyone who chooses Johnny Cash’s version of “Rusty Cage” over Soundgarden’s is wayyy the fuck outta touch.
besides, this is an anthem we are choosing, right? It’s supposed to have that arena-rock vibe. Hence, Disturbed and Godsmack. If I wanted to just pick kick ass music, I’d go with stuff like Jane’s Addiction or Tool - but they don’t have “blood pumping” kinda riffs that work in 30 second bits…
July 6th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Should I Stay or Should I Go - The Clash.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Having traded my first round pick for an additional stack of Marshall amps what go to 11, I choose Cochise by Audioslave. And yes, I’m coming to the mound by zipline from a helicopter. I have one pitch, bitches- I only bring the heat.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Bloodhound Gang - The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope. Seems fitting for my at-bat/pre-game/life.
“A is for apple, b is for balloon, c is for crayon, d is for drums” and then music that sounds like it could be from the Three Stooges.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:45 am
Bring em Out
by TI
We used this song for warmups for the Arena football team I used to work for.
Also was the entrance music for my bridal party at my wedding.
I am white.

July 6th, 2007 at 9:45 am
Grnugedave gets it.

July 6th, 2007 at 9:47 am
@ shoopmonster:
you could play for the wnba’s los angelas sparks, then you’d have a better chance at making it into ksk’s fantasy football league next year…
or you could go with malone/stockton era jazz
either way, the options aren’t good
July 6th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Chris Cornell is the fucking Special Ed kid of rock. I’d hitch my wagon to someone else, if I was you.
But that’s cool. Who’re you gonna pick next, Puddle of Mudd? Creed? Nickelback?
July 6th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Had I spelled “Grungedave” properly, the point would have stuck a bit better.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:48 am

July 6th, 2007 at 9:54 am
The Gypsy Kings - Hotel California

July 6th, 2007 at 9:54 am
“Hysteria” by Muse. It’d also work as a song for a terrifyingly intense closer *cough* Papelbon! *cough*
July 6th, 2007 at 9:54 am
“Give It All” — Rise Against
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8I4nNj1r4uQ

Back to the 80s - Quiet Riot’s “Cum On Feel the Noize” is still available right? That’s about as “arena rock” as it comes (although Twisted Sister would be in the conversation for that era as well).
July 6th, 2007 at 9:55 am
Echoes by Pink Floyd -
The song is like 25 fucking minutes long and they’d obviously have to play the whole thing which would inevitabely cause the ump to toss me for delaying the game which means I could go to a bar, get hammered, and pick up loose women that are enamored with baseball players.
This would probably work for every home game.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:55 am
If I wanted to just pick kick ass music, I’d go with stuff like Jane’s Addiction or Tool - but they don’t have “blood pumping” kinda riffs that work in 30 second bits…
The opening riff of ‘Coming Down the Mountain’ by Jane’s begs to differ.

Higher Ground - Chili Peppers Version.

Mobb Deep- “Shook Ones, Pt. II”
I’m done.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:57 am
@el duffo –
awesome point, that song hit me just as I hit “submit”
anyway… I’ll go with “Unsung” by Helmet with my next pick.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:57 am
@El Duffo O Muerte
You’re a fucking genius.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Ok, actually the proper title is ‘Mountain Song’ but I’m not done with my first cup of coffee yet. Either way, it’s pure rock fury.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Think Again/Lights Out by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
July 6th, 2007 at 9:59 am
@el duffo o muerte: Not to split hairs, but the song’s actual title is Mountain Song.
Still a solid selection.
July 6th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Who’s going to be the Douche who picks the theme from Planet Unicorn?
July 6th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Well, if I need a song for my sixth at-bat of the game, I’d be pissed that I’m still having to play this game and not be out at the clubs scoring poon.
I’d be as pissed as El-P is, all the time. “Fantastic Damage” by El-P.
After that, you can just play the Planet Unicorn theme for the rest of my plate appearances.

Next pick, a bit of a sleeper:

*ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding*
July 6th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Maybe not as intro music, but I’d see to it that this would replace Take Me Out To The Ballgame/God Bless America/whatever — actually, fuck it:
The Pogues - Fiesta
July 6th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Into the Fire: Taking it Higher & Higher
July 6th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Since we can choose “opening riffs” couldn you also go with about the last 2-3 minutes of “Three Days” by Jane’s A? Perry Farrell screaming would work well here, I think.
July 6th, 2007 at 10:04 am
@ BDD
I just noticed that you used the alternate spelling for “introductiion”
July 6th, 2007 at 10:05 am
“Well, if I need a song for my sixth at-bat of the game, I’d be pissed that I’m still having to play this game and not be out at the clubs scoring poon.”
Is there a song called “Scoring Poon”? If there is…I take that one because I thoroughly enjoy “scoring poon”.
July 6th, 2007 at 10:05 am
John the Fisherman - Primus
One of the coolest intros to a song, in my opinion.
July 6th, 2007 at 10:06 am
new day rising - husker du
July 6th, 2007 at 10:07 am

July 6th, 2007 at 10:08 am
yes, I’m late and here to split hairs I ctrl-f’d for slayer bcuz I wanted Raining Blood (the song) and saw Reign in Blood (the album) was taken.
That said, I’ll take the Eruption by Van Halen. It’s the song we enter the bedroom to, right?
July 6th, 2007 at 10:09 am

Iron Maiden
When it comes to intro music, your inquiry begins and ends in 70s-80s heavy metal.

Woke up in a bathtub of ice missing a kidney, did we? I hate it when that happens.
July 6th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Because I would obviously be playing for the Skins, Nats, Wiz or Caps — or possibly fighting a cage match repping “DC” — I’ll have to go with Rare Essence’s “Do You Know What Time It Is?”
The gogo beat will pump up any crowd.

Something like that. Completely missed all 3 of my alarms this morning.

The bride-to-be was fervently against strippers. It was just a lot of drinking. I got a ride home from some girl that I didn’t know. Good times, good times. Had there been a stripper, I would have motorboated her numerous times.

“against strippers”? I understand those words independently, but together they make no sense…

“Turn me loose, we shall overcome….where’d you get that Funk from?”
So badass, no other song in this list even touches it. Don’t mess with crazy man Clinton and his band of musical misfits. They put shit on the sound booth floor that sounds better than all these white-ass RAWK groups you clowns are throwin’ down with. Open your ears to the real!!

I can’t believe they lasted this long.

I’d go with the following:
Outkast: Player’s Ball
UGK: Front Back Side to Side
D’Angelo: Shit Damn Mutherfucker (especially the live version)
And for my final pick, I’ll say…
UNLV: Drag Em In The River
