Terrible Walk-Up music choices

[CoachCeetar]

(This is 100% a post in jest)

We don't have a lot of walk-up music at this level, but some of these choices are clearly very poorly thought out.

Girl walks up to Taylor Swift's Lover...but she was wearing #22! You can't wear that number and pick a DIFFERENT Taylor Swift song!

Another girl came up to Timmy Trumpet - Narco, clearly Edwin Díaz's closer music. You can't play a strikeout song for a batter!

I was at an 8U boys game a few weeks back and one kid's walk-up song was The Kids Aren't Alright by the Offspring.

Don't be boring! I know a lot of music our girls like isn't for me, and that's OK. Some of it is still good walk-up music. But some of the songs are just... boring. No hook. No recognizable riff. There's something in every genre of music that can work for walk-up music, but some of our girls just have the worst feel for it.

We only use it once a year though, so at least I don't have to listen to the songs too often.

At Stater Brothers this morning they had quite a song selection come up playing in the store. As I approached the cashier I smiled and said
'here we go, throw down some beat' and she laughed cuz it waszzz some Boombox kind of music. Don't think I've heard that as a typical type of music they would have at Stater Brothers let alone at 9:00 a.m...

LOL keep the party going Stater Brothers

I was at my sister-in-law's daughter's 10u game and as one of the girls on her team came to bat "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj started playing. Why a 10 year old would know about that I don't know.

I will say it does seem to be the younger ages that play the more inappropriate songs. I remember passing a 10u baseball field on the way to my game, and a player's song was "Fat Bottom Girls." I appreciate the selection, but no.

A good walk up song should:
1.) Be energizing music with no lyrics, OR
2.) Be two to three good lyrics from a song, where . . .
3.) The rest of the song is still age appropriate.

How about some Star Wars stormtrooper music when the Empire approaches behind the plate....i mean the UMPIRE approaches behind the plate!

My DD hates walk up music but the team was doing it so she chose the Sanford and Son theme (I was very proud), and it makes every umpire chuckle.

Same. What's wrong with something that gets the blood pumping as a walk-up song?? Who can say 'no' to the intro to Ozzy's "Desire"??
