Oh Say Can You Suck
May 3, 2005- Usually, stuff like this ends up on the ES-Board, but this was too good to pass up and
deserves its own entry.
From MLB's online shop comes the newest, hippest, coolest piece of cra...errr, MEMORABILIA,
"Oh Say Can You Sing: Music Recordings by Major League Players". As they say on the streets,
"this will be rad...dude, and will rock the, uh, hizz-ouse".
Promtional copy blatantly ripped from MLB's shop site:
This two disc package (CD & DVD) features 10 current Major League Players + Hall of Famer, Ozzie Smith, singing their own versions of popular songs. (Jimmy Rollins & Coco Crisp rap on their original hip-hop tracks). This is an awesome project - no cheesy or campy elements allowed! The DVD contains player recording session footage, exclusive interviews & a tour of Ozzie's home memorabilia room.
And the track listing:
- Songlist:
- Player, Team, Title, Original Artist
- Ben Broussard, Cleveland Indians, With or Without You, U2
- Sean Casey, Cincinnati Reds, How Do You Like Me Now?,Toby Keith
- Jeff Conine, Florida Marlins, Plush, Stone Temple Pilots
- Coco Crisp, Cleveland Indians, Original song
- Matt Ginter, NY Mets, Dooley, The Dillards
- Aubrey Huff, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Letters From Home, John Michael Montgomery
- Scott Linebrink, SD Padres, Wave on Wave, Pat Green
- Jimmy Rollins, Philadelphia Phillies, Original Song
- Omar Vizquel, SF Giants, Broadway, Goo Goo Dolls
- Kelly Wunsch, LA Dodgers, Hurts So Good, John Mellencamp
- Ozzie Smith, Hall of Fame, Cupid, Sam Cooke
Noticeably absent is the lack of musician credits. Can you say "karaoke"?
I'm really flabbergasted at this idea. Now if they
can only start playing the players' song when they come to bat. I figure the original tunes by
Jimmy Rollins and Coco Crisp are worth a download, errrr... purchase! I'll bet they're
similar to the singing QB's song from the movie "On Any Given Sunday".
You know the sad part? The WWF and Deion Sanders beat MLB to this crappy idea by a good 20 and
10 years, respectively.
Only fair that I provide the link for your enjoyment.
