Not the Sveum Old Song: Music to Inspire Brewers

by One-Flap Down on Sep 17, 2008 11:07 AM CDT

This was a beautiful article, very well done:

http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/30-teams-30-theme-songs/

In that spirit, it is time to come together (all together) for a true Brewer fight song. Not an ironic lyrical turn (though I look forward to those suggestions) but a serious, let's get it going song. An updated "I'm a Believer" 21 years later if you will...

I was sitting in section 417 when Ray Durham hit his 3-run HR to tie it up versus the Reds on 9/9, listening to my ipod. The rally began with Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Change it" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeOpA5vkAQ4) which I thought was a good tense anthem, so I kept playing it till we finally blew it.

Ok, a little over superstitious and OCD-ish, but man I go with what works.

Please suggest and then maybe someone can start a vote or something.

Go F'n Brewers!

I for one would go with “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen…works when we win, works when we lose, or even lose a manager.

I'm going to have

to say that REM won’t cut it. How about the ultimate pump up song?

Always works for me...

but we need something a little more unique…i think we’ll know when we find it…something to fit this complex, young, hopeful and erratic team…help!

Hmm

Maybe it’ll go a little something like this?

That was a blast

of urgency in the right direction…who was that? I tried tracking it down by lyrical content through a google search, but no dice…

The song is called A Great Divide

By the band Parts & Labor. Note that’s the only song I’ve heard by them so I can’t say anything about their other stuff.

Make that my second favorite song with great divide in the title...

I am partial to The Band, but even the snobs at Pitchfork gave Parts & Labor favorable reviews over the years, like this: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/21106-parts-labor-stay-afraid

Looks like they’re coming to Chicago, a little late to save us though.

Hope we escape with 2 out of 3 today. Go Bush!
