Boston’s 4-0 win over Tampa Bay Wednesday night (Curt Schilling, 6 IP, 7 K’) was doubly fortuitous for those at Fenway. For one thing, Jonathan Papelbon got a rare night off. And that meant no one in attendence had to listen to Drowning Pool’s “(When The) Bodies (Hit The Floor)”.
From the Boston Herald’s Sarah Rodman.
Red Sox hot rookie closer Papelbon (above) currently marches out to the mound at Fenway Park to the hard hitting beat of Drowning Pool™s 2001 hit œBodies, but says he™s open to suggestions for new theme music.
Drowning Pool drummer Mike Luce (above) says that Papelbon shouldn™t mess with success. œIf he™s having great stats with that song being played, if it were me there would be no way I™d want to change that song, the drummer says.
While the lyrics about bodies hitting the floor may seem violent, Luce says the tune is a œtip of the hat to the kids in the crowd who go wild in the mosh pit.
Luce admits he™s not a Sox fan. But, that doesn™t mean he™s not psyched about the Sox using his band™s song.
Luce hopes Papelbon won™t take the advice of Herald readers who offered up substitute theme songs by everyone from AC/DC to Lionel Richie.
œI™m looking out for him right here, Luce says. œIf the shoe were on the other foot I would go with what I know.
Though Papelbon has supposedly opted for the misleadingly named Keith Urban, it is a shame that DYS’ “Wolfpack” wasn’t considered.
i miss the days, when i was refered to as the most questionable or offesnive post in the history of CTSB, and all i had to do was make a reference to was jim kelly beating his pregrant wife to the point of his retard kid dying of a genetic disease. and frank “third” reich, meeting st. peter in heaven, and having him tell him, that although he lead the biggest pro and college, second half comebacks jesus was still pissed off at him for beating the spread. i dont really have point, i just wanted to preach the gospel of jeff weaver, thats it. and all the predictions me and gabe kapler made about jeff weaver winning cy youngs, jered weaver, will win one. and then i can brag about starting the band wagon, and i just wish i started jeffweaversmom.com
and of course i meant CSTB instead of CTSB, this is what happens when i cant edit my post
Or if not the DYS tune, some other Boston classic. Perhaps Impact Unit, or Shaved For Battle..
