Mets' Entrance Music

[Gwreck]

I've always wanted to come up with a definitive list, but it's not always easy. Knowing all the music fans here, I'm hopeful we can get something compiled.

Sure, everybody knows about Mr. Wagner...but what about the rest of your 2006 New York Mets? Contributions solicited. This works for those playing along at home via Television and Radio too, as the songs can often be heard on the broadcasts...

There will be a prize for anyone who can tell me what song Carlos Beltran uses.

Starters
Tom Glavine - Sweet Child O'Mine, Guns N Roses

Relievers
Aaron Heilman - London Calling, The Clash
Billy Wagner - Enter Sandman, Metallica

C
Paul LoDuca - Stayin' Alive, Bee Gees, Boogie Shoes, KC & The Sunshine Band, Shining Star, Earth, Wind & Fire

IF
David Wright - several, including Brass Monkey, The Beastie Boys

OF
Cliff Floyd - Everyday I'm Hustlin' - Rick Ross
Xavier Nady - X, Xzibit

Bench
Julio Franco - People Get Ready, Crystal Lewis
Chris Woodward - Sultans of Swing, Dire Straits, Money for Nothing, Dire Straits

I don't know if "flogged" is exactly the right way to describe it. Woefully incomplete perhaps. Regardless, very few of those players are even with the club anymore...perhaps only Kaz is even using the same song (??)

Sorry, I meant with respect to the whole "music & sports" coverage package. There are a lot of players missing on each team.

tom glavine often comes out to bat to a little pan flute part of a lil' jon song, from "what you gonna do". and this is a pretty hardcore gangsta song, so i guess either tom is a straight up playa, or his teammates chose it for him, or maybe that part of the song is sampled from somewhere else and i didnt realize it.

last year david wright came out to "encore" by jay-z and linkin park, but i havent heard it this year.

reyes always plays reggaeton, i am working hard on figuring out the specifics. he used to play "gasolina", but not anymore. also i am trying to make out the lyrics of beltrans song: "something aqui!, something aqui!". at first i thought it was "perros aqui" (dogs here), but i think that is wrong. it made sense when i first heard it the during the doggies-in-the-picnic-area game i went to tuesday, but i listened again and i cant make it out. i need to find a native spanish speaker to help me with all the latin music.

sure things:

julio franco always comes out to a song called "people get ready" by a christian woman called crystal lewis. "people get ready, jesus is coming".

cliff floyd has been coming out to "everyday i'm hustlin" by miami rapper rick ross.

[Gwreck]

Excellent! Many thanks.

I've noticed that, and wondered--is he a disco guy?

He's from Brooklyn just like John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever. Maybe he struts too.

[metirish]

I'd be embarrassed to strut to the plate with that music playing, and it doesn't seem to fit LoDuca's hot temper, I thought he'd be more an Anthrax or Type O Negative kinda guy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Somebody hit Lo Duca in the hair and see how he responds.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think it's great. It shows he has a sense of humor.

There is nothing wrong with that music.

The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is, I believe, one of the best selling soundtrack albums of all-time.

I know that sales don't necessarily translate to good music (see American Idol cd sales) but it says something.

Besides the fact that Earth Wind & Fire and KC and The Sunshine Band are pretty awesome.

Hey, disco may not appeal to you but it doesn't mean it was bad.

It was the soundtrack to my adolescence.

[HahnSolo]

Aaron Heilman went way up in my book when I first heard him enter to London Calling.

[Theoldmole]

Agree on Aaron. And a great choice by Woodward.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Where's our last Personal Opening Music thread. Some days, a guy just needs to hear "In Edgy's Eyes."

[Vic Sage]

i use "Alfie"... the Cher version.

[MFS62]

So the question on the table should be:
What should Lasting's music be?

I would suggest the theme song for Home Depot (if there is one) because the kid has all the tools.

Thoughts?

Later

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You'd have to do something with "Last" in the title or lyrics.

How about "Last Dance" by Donna Summers?

[soupcan]

Michelle Simon let me feel her up after we went rollerskating to 'Last Dance'

So that might be oddly appropriate for him.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Okay everybody: Start Googling images of Michelle Simon!

(An extra ten points to anyone who finds pictures of Michelle on skates, roller or ice!)

[soupcan]

Don't bother - it was junior high school.

I'm sure she's married for years now with a different name.

Perverts.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did she, you know, try to cut you?

[soupcan]

Uh, no.

She actually liked me.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Or maybe she's a sexy nun!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Okay, let's play Which Michelle Did Soupcan Skate With?

Or, alternatively, let us know which Michelle you'd rather skate with.

Michelle Simon Number 1	Michelle Simon Number 2	Michelle Simon Number 3
Michelle Simon Number 4	Michelle Simon Number 5	Michelle Simon Number 6
Michelle Simon Number 7	Michelle Simon Number 8	Michelle Simon Number 9

[Guest Edgy DC]

Number 2 and 7 aren't linking.

I'd guess the most promising skate partner is the exercise biker. Beagles can be noisey, smelly, and quite needy, however.

[Guest Edgy DC]

An unfortunate case of catbutt for this lazy librarian named Michelle Simon.

[Willets Point]

What do you mean lazy? It's not like she can sit down and work with a cat on her butt.

[soupcan]

Michelle Simon #1 looks most like her but it ain't her.

I don't recall if she had a cat or not.

I love when this forum actually makes me laugh out loud at my desk.
