How would you handle the PA system at YOUR favorite sports stadium?

[TheDeadWalk]

Fun little music/sports mix that I think sports fans should be reading/replying to more than musical schmoes.

Have you ever thought about what song clips and stuff you would play if you ran the PA at your favorite stadium for your favorite sport? Some of us might remember that pitcher in MLB who dated Tawney Kitaen who was in that Whitesnake video. They had a very shitty breakup, and when he came out to the mound to pitch, the guy who ran the PA played "Here I go again" just to piss him off. It was great, but he was aptly fired afterwards. So what would you play?

I've always liked it when they play Hit the Road Jack when a guy gets a penalty or gets ejected from a hockey game. You have that one in your picks as well.

I'd play Europe's The Final Countdown before penalty shots which we'll be seeing a lot more of this coming hockey season.

Aside from that, Jump Around seems like the perfect choice for bench clearing brawls in baseball.

Finally, Denis Leary's Asshole whenever Todd Bertuzzi steps onto the ice.

Natch!

Oooooooooh, nice!

A lot of interesting choices there, especially in the "sacks" category, but the above is my favorite. I think pretty much any situation allows for the wonderfully spooky Tubular Bells, but overtime, in particular, seems like a very appropriate choice.

Good one...

[TheAxeGrinder]

Just for the hell of it, I'd take a cue from Beavis & Butt-head Do America:

"Uh, attention! Attention! We're looking for the chick with big boobs! "
"Yeah. We are ready to do you now!"

Chuck Finley. I always liked him but that was funny as hell.

Another PA guy got canned for playing Pop Goes The Weasel when Rafael Palmeiro came up right after he started pushing Viagra™
