5 worst possible batting theme songs

1. As Long As You Love Me by The Backstreet Boys: I'll admit it's a catchy song, but it's also light and fluffy and completely unthreatening. Nobody wants to hear a plaintive acoustic guitar in a baseball stadium.

2. Brand New Key by Melanie: My friend Bill once told me this would be his theme song if he ever made the majors, just because it would confuse the heck out of everyone in the stands. He also said he would skip to the plate as it played.

3. Dude (Looks Like A Lady) by Aerosmith: Self-explanatory.

4. We Are The World by USA for Africa: Great message, great cause, well-written song. Just not a song for an at bat.

5. I'm In Love With A Stripper by T. Pain and Mike Jones: One of the catchiest songs of the last few years. Some fans would surely recognize it, but is that really the message you want to project when you're coming to bat?
