What's the best song for a closer coming out the bullpen?

[TangoJuliet]

How many closers actually have "entrance" songs? Since I live in NY I know that both Wagner and Rivera both had enter sandman.

I believe Trevor Hoffman used to come out with Enter the Sandman. Seemed to work for him.

I also liked Hells Bells when Rob Nen entered the game. The beginning of the song with the bell ringing was pretty cool.

I also believe Hoffman used Hells Bells and not Enter Sandman. Wikipedia also says that Nen used Smoke on the Water as his.

Todd Jones' song should have been "Rape Me" or "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"

John Rocker used "I wanna rock" as his, & the year he was actually a dominant closer, before he went on his tirade, between that music and him sprinting out of the bullpen, it definitely got him & the crowd pumped up.

Todd Jones actually used Christian rock songs for his(at least in Florida). That and Mr.Jones by the Counting Crows. Weird.

Too bad Putz is now a set up man...I used to love that @ safeco when he'd come out.

Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up?

 

[Baked]

Tool - Ænema

The lyrics are awesome in the 1st phase, too bad it's not kosher for public broadcasting.

Drowning Pool - Bodies
Disturbed - Indestructible
MetallicA - Master of Puppets

If there was a parody song "Never gonna strike us out", it could be played when the visiting team's closer came out the bullpen.

I love the TV edit. It's not even an a quarter-assed attempt and it's funnier than the actual line!

Just wrote the parody. Now I gotta patent it, then I'll surely be able to sell it to some closer.


:music:
This game is almost over
Your team might think that they can win
They call on you to close the game right now
Unfortunately you won?t get out alive
We won?t let you ruin our evening
Hope you fall and break your hand

CHORUS
Never gonna strike us out
Never gonna close the game
Never gonna add a win to your record
Never gonna get that deal
Never gonna be the man
Never gonna win it all with your arm

We?re in the same league this is true
You know we?re better but you can?t tell the truth
Inside you cry when your team loses games
That means tonight your name is Niagara Falls
And if you think you?re gonna prove us wrong
Then you?re thinking so stupidly

CHORUS

CHORUS
CHORUS
(Ooh strike us out)
(Ooh strike us out)
(Ooh) never gonna strike, never gonna strike
(strike us out)
(Ooh) never gonna strike, never gonna strike
(strike us out)

We?re in the same league this is true
You know we?re better but you can?t tell the truth
Inside you cry when your team loses games
That means tonight your name is Niagara Falls

We won?t let you ruin our evening
Hope you fall and break your hand

CHORUS
:music:

Do it like hockey. For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica or the "War Drums" from the beginning of Down With The Sickness by Disturbed.
