@Elvis Stojko: As long as they're being gay, I nominate "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go."

Though if anyone out there wants to re-write/record Sophie B. Hawkins' "Damn! I Wish We Were The Yankees," that would certainly work well, too.

I also thought 'There's a Monster in My Pants' by the B-52's and excellent baseball sing along song.

I'd like to hear "Sweet Caroline" in the 8th inning followed by Billy Wagner coming out to "Enter Sandman" in the 9th.

Wow the Mets are gay.

If we're going for drunken fan air guitar, why not go whole hog with Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames, and top it off by having the guitar hero scroll on the Jumbotron?

@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...:

I wouldn't say I'm a fan. I'm aware of their brilliance, but from a safe distance ;)

Much like I knew of GG Allin, but given his, shall we say, coprophillic stage acts and vows to kill himself and his audience at a show, I stayed away.

@Slothrop: Tesco Vee!!!!1!!!

Thought I was the only Meat Krew fan on the 'Spin... Glad I was wrong.

On the Meatmen tip, though, John Rocker would suggest "Camel Jockeys Suck", since it's Shea & the Seven Line. "Lesbian Death Dirge" might work, too -- but J.R. was pretty clear in singling out fags, not dykes.

I remember by once-good alt. metal band Mushroomhead with the chorus "What is the sign... for I'm choking to death".

They suck now, so the Mets can have them.

Nothing rocks harder than the official Toronto Blue Jays theme song:

You've got a diamond
You've got nine men
You've got a hat and a bat
And that's not all
You've got the bleachers
Got 'em from spring 'til fall
You got a dog and a drink
And the umpire's call
Whaddaya want?
Let's play ball!

(Chorus)
Okay! (Okay!)
Blue Jays (Blue Jays)
Let's (Let's)
Play (Play)
Ball!

Is that a fly ball
Or is it a seagull
Coming in from the lake
Just to catch the game?
It's the last inning
Our guys are winning [ed. note - this used to happen!]
Dave's put down a smoker [ed. note - "Dave" is dave Stieb]
A strike
And you've got no doubt
(You're out!)
Whaddaya want?
Let's play ball!

(Chorus)

It's a beautiful evenin', fans
At the ballpark
Warm summer breezes
Sun's goin' down
And it's all dark
At the ballpark
But that's okay...it's a night game!
Whaddaya want?
Let's play ball!
