As you are undoubtedly aware, the Cardinals are playing for their 11th World Championship (#win11for11in11) beginning Wednesday night. Between now and then, I'll have a number of posts covering the series from all angles. This post covers the music that is essential for every Cards fan to be bumping.
FOX Baseball Theme- It's the Fall Classic. Nothing says big game like hearing this intro music before Joe Buck's intro and Tim McCarver's whatever. Don't forget about Scooter!
The Albert Pujols Song- What a catchy tune. If anyone knows where I can get the full version, let me know.
Here Comes the King- For my money, it didn't get any better than hearing this in Old Busch with Ernie Hays on the keys. Seeing the videos of old Busch brought a tear to my eye.
Who Let the Cards Out- Remember when 'Who Let the Dogs Out' was the top song in the country? Guess when this was made?
Spirit of '82- A little before my time, but I imagine the spirit of Cardinal Nation is just as strong now as it was then.
The Rally Song- Brand new song just dropped two days ago. Far from a classic, but appreciate the effort.
The Cardinals are Coming- My current favorite Cardinals song. I love the jazz flute around the one minute mark.
The Tony LaRussa- Since TLR is the longest tenured manager, this is still appropriate. Big ups if someone can remix it with names from the current team. Mike Gallego!?
The Heat Is On- Another 'cover' song, this time over Glenn Frey's song. This also has audio clips from Jack Buck and Mike Shannon, among others.
Birds On My Bat- Some guys going at it over the beat to 'What You Know' by TI. King is a very underrated and forgotten album. It would be one of the better ones released this year.
The St. Louis Sports Band- These guys are AWESOME; Relevant songs include Albert Pujols, Tony LaRussa, Don't Run on Yadier Molina, and Chris Carpenter (is Always Hurt). Check out there album on iTunes for more songs.
One last note- Joshua, the great artist behind hits like 'Girlfriend', 'Circus of Love', and 'Love is like a Circus', will be debuting with Cardinals tribute song, 'Slamalamadingdong' tomorrow. Much like Joshua's other work, it should be a classic. The last time Joshua's music was associated with the Cardinals, 'Girlfriend' was used as Colby Rasmus' walk up music. Rasmus proceeded to strike out six times in two games and changed the music.
Did I miss anything? Let me know in the comments!
