Top Ten Baseball Songs

GiantsRule · 04-01-2002, 06:06 AM

The situation is this. I need some music to play while I'm playing OOTP 4. Silence scares me. Since OOTP 4 is a baseball game I would appreciate it if you would list your top 10 baseball favorites listing the artist and title. Thanx

How about Tchaikovsky's first violin concerto? Greig's Peer Gynt suite? Beethoven's 5th piano concerto? Brahms Hungarian Dance No.1? Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.1? Mozart piano sonata op.333? Strauss horn concerto?

Impressive list Tarkus. Here are some other considerations...

Centerfield - John Fogerty
Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen
Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf (at least the lovemaking segment

)

EagleEye_0 · 04-01-2002, 11:43 AM

I only listen to one song while playing OOTP. Who let the dogs out. DD, I'll; be sure to email you the new remix version.

Ooh, Paradise by the Dashboard Light; now that's good one.

I still like my songs better.

LivnLegend · 04-01-2002, 02:05 PM

Already listed here:
D-O-D-G-E-R-S Song (Oh Really? No O'Malley) - Danny Kaye
Centerfield – John Forgerty
Willie Mickey & The Duke (Talkin' Baseball) - Terry Cashman

Songs I have not seen listed yet:
It’s a Beautiful Day for a Ballgame – Harry Simeone (anyone who listened to Dodger games on the radio throughout the 70’s and 80’s will know this one. It was played before every Dodger radio pre-game show for decades)
You’ve Got to Have Heart – Damn Yankees

And of course the theme music from The Natural and Field of Dreams

jor31 · 04-01-2002, 03:05 PM

i found this Mets song, the guy who mixed it put in the top play clips from 2000. Old, but very cool

Try searching on a napster like program, just type in a team name!

oldwolf496 · 04-02-2002, 12:22 PM

You guys are forgetting one great baseball song.

Cheap Seats by Alabama. It IS a baseball song

VT Os fan · 04-02-2002, 12:36 PM

How about Queen's "We will, we will rock you!"

Arguably this is the definative all-purpose sports anthem. Curious that the all American sports anthem was written by a quartet of British homosexuals. Maybe we can convince Marylin Manson to write a song about cricket.

hellfrozeover · 04-02-2002, 05:36 PM

Take Me Out to the Ballgame (Mike Ditka)....when he was double parked...that was a great game.

Killebrew · 04-02-2002, 09:07 PM

"Talkin' Softball" (The Simpsons), and any old radio beer ads ("From the land of sky blue water (water)... Comes the beer that's made for brewing (brewing)... Hamms, in aluminum cans"

). I also like the Bill Murray version of Take Me Out To The Ballgame...

Thanks for the memory

Malleus Dei · 04-03-2002, 04:08 AM

"Pennant Fever" from the film "Major League."

TPort · 04-03-2002, 04:35 AM

Absolutely. I was about to reply with Cheap Seats when I saw this post. This is one of the best baseball songs there is.

Um, only Freddie Mercury was gay, I believe.

"Not that there's anything wrong with it."

And "Glory Days" is NOT a baseball song. A catchy riff, but it is not about baseball.
