Bugs & Cranks’ Matt Brown calls it, “the most important election in the history of Washington, D.C”. Nationals fans are being asked to select the turgid inspiring tunes that will blare throughout their new ballpark starting this April.
The “You Make The Call” promotion will run from Thursday, March 13 at 9:00am through Wednesday March 26 at 5:00pm. Fans may choose from a selection of songs, including “Because We Can” by Fat Boy Slim or “Song 2 (Woo Hoo)” by Blur for the Home Run song, and “Build Me Up Buttercup” by The Foundations or “Shout” from Otis Day and the Knights for the Seventh Inning Stretch. Choices for the Nationals Victory Song include “Beautiful Day” by U2 and “How Do You Like Me Now” by Toby Keith. For a full listing of songs, and to cast a vote, fans may visit nationals.com/youmakethecall. The winning songs will be posted on nationals.com and e-mailed to all registered Nationals “Insiders” once voting is complete.
Weirdly, Void’s “Organized Sports” failed to make the cut.
I have never heard that Toby Keith song, but I am going to go out on a limb and take a guess that it’s fucking absolutely fucking awful…maybe they could replace it with Kool Moe Dee’s “How Ya Like Me Now?”
If I had a dime for every person who made the joke today, “Why shouldn’t they use a Minor Threat song?” I’d be a millionaire. sigh.
“Friendly Game of Baseball” by Main Source neglected again.
I vote that they play all of Teen Idles’ Minor Disturbance EP everytime Lo Duca bats.
