Ford Field should be nicknamed (or renamed for that matter) The Jungle.

I'd like to hear somebody use Nazareth's "Hair Of The Dog". I would definitely use it myself!

**Chili Mac Davis** · 04-21-2008, 10:36 PM

Jacque Jones - Me and Mrs Jones
Ordonez - Yes, Almost Cut my Hair
Crusceta - Lucreatia McEvil
Inge - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
Renteria - Edgar Winter's Frankenstein
Clete Thomas - Hooked on a Feeling

Thanks for the bump but I'm thinking the Tigers need to come out with a CD with the songs in order of the usual batting line-up.

That would be quite the collection of songs.

**Corky** · 04-21-2008, 10:53 PM

Grilli could use The Undertaker's entrance music.

From reading through here, one thing I've noticed is that the songs change quite often. Guess they could have a new CD every few months or so !!

**Titus Tiger** · 04-21-2008, 11:08 PM

Grilli --- Putting out fire with Gasoline, David Bowie

**Corky** · 04-21-2008, 11:15 PM

Polanco - Troglodyte by The Jimmy Castor Bunch

**PattyMac** · 04-22-2008, 12:11 AM

Jacques Jones is "umma do me" by Rocko. Took me two weeks to find this song!

I have Polanco's on my ipod...google it if I don't get back here quick enough. I found it on google.

**jackson_cannery** · 04-22-2008, 12:17 AM

I'm glad these guys are good at baseball because their taste in music is .... less than good.

Unless he's changed it in the last couple of weeks, Grilli actually does use that song.

**Titus Tiger** · 04-22-2008, 10:29 PM

that is funny

I was mostly thinking Tigers = Jungle

**Johnny Mac** · 04-06-2009, 12:32 AM

bump? In mlb 09 the show you can put intro music in for each player so i was looking to see if anyone knew what they were doing this year. do they play the songs in ST? anyone remember any? I got polanco, assuming he doesnt change but a lot of the other guys seem to change every year

**Joec03** · 04-06-2009, 09:34 AM

Magglio Ordonez: ZONA 7 Y OSCAR DE LEON-MIRALA
Brandon Inge: Korn - Coming Undone
Gary Sheffield: Instrumentals - The Game - Lets Ride
Placido Polanco: Amarfis y La Banda de Atakke - Lamento Boliviano
Marcus Thames: Instrumentals - Lil Scrappy - Oh Yeah (Work)
Joel Zumaya: Jimi Hendrix - 11 - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Curtis Granderson: Snoop Dogg - Ain't Nothin But a G Thang

These are the ones I use for MLB 09. I'm not sure if its their current songs, but its the ones I most recognize as them using.

**MattP** · 04-06-2009, 09:35 AM

I hope Magglio never changes his music, because it will always remind me of that at-bat in 2006.

**Nolan** · 04-06-2009, 02:40 PM

The real question is what is Perry gonna come out to?

Rumor: Sanjaya Malakar's singing No Doubt's "Bathwater". Remember the ponyhawk!

Needs a bump again. Anyone know Laird, Everett or Anderson's music? Or for that matter, Rodney's new REALLY REALLY sweet music?

I know Rodney's old song was "Ven Bailalo" by Angel y Khris.

His new song is all in Spanish (just like the old one) and I couldn't understand the words to Laird's music enough to be able to google it.

I also have heard Bobby Seay come out to "Da Rockwilder" by Method Man & Redman this season.

**DET Mr Malefic** · 05-07-2009, 03:46 PM

Johnny, this is what I use for the Tigers in MLB The Show. I don't think any of these songs is the current song for the player (except Magglio's), but all of them have used the song assigned to them as walkout music at some point during their Tigers tenure:

Granderson: "**** Wit Dre Day" - Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg
Polanco: "Lamento Boliviano" - Amarfis y La Banda Atekke
Cabrera: "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" - Michael Jackson
Ordonez: "Mirala" - Zona 7 and Oscar De Leon
Guillen: "YoU Don't Know Me" - T.I.
Anderson: ?*
Laird: ?
Inge: "I Wish" - Skee-Lo
Everett: ?

Thames: "What U Know" - T.I.
Sardinha: "Warriors" - Ky-Mani Marley

Seay: "Da Rockwilder" - Method Man & Redman
Zumaya: "Voodoo Child" - Jimi Hendrix
Rodney: "Ven Bailalo" - Angel y Khris

* - I assigned "Welcome 2 Detroit" by Eminem and Trick Trick to all of these players, as ever since the Tigers acquired Gary Sheffield it appears to be customary for that song to be played for every newly acquired player's first at-bat as a Tiger. To my knowledge, nobody has ever had it as their regular walk-up music though.

Ryan Perry comes out to "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf. Still trying to figure that one out.

**jaymo** · 05-07-2009, 10:40 PM

Thomas: Song of the South

Folks were singing along Tuesday after the first two hits.

**Corky** · 05-07-2009, 10:48 PM

That song has one of the greatest grooves ever.

**catswithbats** · 05-21-2009, 07:11 PM

Heard Zoom's new entrance music for the first time. Very . . . metal. :P I preferred the Hendrix tune, but oh well! Also, I swear Granderson came out to a different song for every at-bat.

Also somebody on the Tigers LJ comm identified Polanco's song as "Ahora Es" by Wisin y Yandel. Yes/no/maybe so?

Somebody on the Tigers LJ comm said Anderson comes out to a Christian rock song, "Strong Tower" by Kutless.

Indeed he does. I believe that Clete comes out to Christian music as well. That's wonderful and much needed in a stadium where management insists on playing "Angel is a Centrefold" repeatedly. Kinda destroys the family friendly atmosphere.

**jaymo** · 05-21-2009, 07:38 PM

Raburn: "Hicktown" per http://old-english-d.blogspot.com/20...y-jackson.html

Granderson does have a different song for every at-bat, though the only one I recognize is LL Cool J's "Radio", which he generally comes out to during his second AB of every game.

Does anybody know the name of Rodney's new song? That one is far and away the best Tiger song of this year, by a very very large margin.

And last night was the first game I've gone to this year where Zumaya has pitched, and I was extremely disappointed to hear that "Voodoo Chile" has been ditched. I like the news song about 1/10000000000000000000000th as much.

Clete comes out to "Song of the South" by Alabama.

It would be wonderful if it were a good song, i.e. Todd Jones coming out to "Last One Standing". As both (Clete and Anderson's) are suck songs, not so much.

I think as it pertains to Tiger walkout music, this is the worst year I can ever remember.

I'll try and ID it through midomi.com, though I'm not optimistic.

You must really dislike that they play a song with the lyric "....middle finger to the world. . ." shortly before each game.

**catswithbats** · 05-21-2009, 08:02 PM

Which one is that?

**jaymo** · 05-21-2009, 08:07 PM

Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolph

EDIT: I just looked up the lyrics myself. Hopefully they have an abbreviated version or always stop it before the second verse.

Really??? They only play the opening riff of the song, no lyrics. I bet you that most kids have never heard the song in its entirety.

I bet you got your panties in bunch late last season when one of Granderson's songs was "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd.

Again, it was only the opening part of the song that was played, you never heard the words "I wanna sex you up." Most kids have probably never heard of the song as it was from the early 90's.

**shaneoirish** · 05-21-2009, 09:09 PM

I think this is Zumaya's new song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SurqXyOjLxE

**shaneoirish** · 05-21-2009, 09:13 PM

Has anyone figured out Rodney yet?

Regarding your first paragraph, I've never heard of the song before, and I'm not entirely certain what song you're talking about, though if they play it that often, I've likely heard it.

Regarding paragraphs 2 and 3, I was 9 or 10 when that song came out.

**jaymo** · 05-22-2009, 10:46 PM

I hear Magglio may have new music the next time he bats.

The song that I am talking about in the first paragraph is Centerfold by The J Geils Band. If you've ever been to a Tigers game, you'll recognize the first few seconds of the song. They usually play it between pitches.
