    The Walk Up Song thread

    Inspired by 5GG and Bellhorn, the idea is simple. Assign the perfect walk up song for any hitter (or pitcher) past and present. Explanations are welcome but not necessary.

    Also, if you have a better song for any hitter already done, go for it.

    An easy one

    Absolutely amateur players are welcome. It can make any jokes difficult to get. But hey, if you had one in real life, go for it.

    And that’s actually a pretty good choice for a walk up song. I’m going for (bad) jokes here, but I like the choice.

    Also, hypothetical players are welcome too.

    Another one needed would be David Cone and his perfect song.

    There's no joke in mine. The meaning of the song, the catchy chorus, and how it aligns with my general life philosophy was why I picked it. It was also semi-popular at the time

    Yeah. As I said, it’s actually a pretty good choice. Plus it shows a certain intimidating importance in the lineup...

    Manny: "Madman Across the Water" Elton
    Damon: "Signs" 5-Man Electrical Band
    Boggs: "Walk This Way" (for a couple reasons)
    Ortiz: As much as he'd like "Bad to the Bone", I gotta go with "Holly Jolly Christmas" Burl Ives... because Papi's the narrator/singing snowman who brought so much cheer to our island of misfit fans

    Isn't Neil making an assumption there with "a little part of it in everyone"? Greenwell was clean!

    Maybe he was just talking about how steroids affect others. Like costing them the MVP award?

    Varitek's actual walk up song was so perfect it's not worth changing.

    Yes! I think that was Josh Reddick on the skins. Bagwell was flicking his lighter in the front row at the end, but Nolan Ryan and his wife got up and walked out.
