QOTW: What’s Your Badass Theme Song?
I recently went to a Giants game and before any of the players go up to bat they play their “theme song”. Each player had their own song and they were usually pretty kickass kind of songs. My question this week is, if you were a professional baseball player what would your theme song be?

I had a hard time coming up with an answer, there are just so many choice. The song has gotta get you pumped, it’s gotta be rocking, and it just has to be bad ass. I considered Master of Puppets, which one of the giants uses and it just has a kickass beginning. I really considered Motley Crue’s Kickstart My Heart which is just about the definition of a getting pumped up song. I briefly considered AC/DC Thunderstruck.
I recently heard the song that I chose and it just brought back some great memories of 8th grade and it just has some serious bad ass lyrics. My choice is Guns N’ Roses, Nightrain. Check out these lyrics:
Well I’m a west coast struttin’
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I’m a mean machine
Been drinkin’ gasoline
An honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
Juvenile? Yeah probably. Kickass? You betcha.

My theme song… My my, this is a tough one. Would I want to do something traditional? I think so because it would have to rock and something strange like Bubble Toes by Jack Johnson wouldn’t quite cut it and Aqualung by Jethro Tull would be…well…strange. It would have to not only rock but make sense too…which pretty much kills anything by R.E.M.
I’ve made my choice. It’s Master of Puppets by Metallica. It doesn’t fit me at all nor could ever fit the situation. But those two facts make it VERY fitting thank you very much.
