Great idea in the other thread ... what would a team's "mixtape" look like, the one capturing everything from that team's current philosophy to its historical legacy? Or, as Matthew E. put it, how a team "really feel[s] about baseball."

Let's see, for the Yankees (per this thread's headline) you might start with ABBA's Money, Money, Money but also must needs include Queen's We Are the Champions. The Mets' mixtape would surely include Bryan Adams' Summer of '69 ... what else, and for who else?

Two rules/challenges:
1. Keep it clean!
2. Sarcasm is welcome, but don't cross the line into snottiness! Genuine cleverness is best, of course ...

Next?

Because of the tragic Nick Adenhart incident I think the Angels could go with "Here Without You"

As a Jays fan I think our song should be something like, "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth.

Do we give it up? (I don't know) Should we give it hell? (I don't know... etc) Are you making a fortune or don't you wanna tell? Should we give it up? Or hang around some more? Should we buy some beer? Can I use your hairspray? One foot in the door, the other foot in the gutter, the sweet smell that you adore, yeah I think I'd rather smother. Should we top it off? It's starting to smoke. Who's behind the board? They tell me he's a dope. What the f[explicit] you sayin'? Our lawyer's on the phone. How much are you in for? What did we do now??!!! One foot in the door, the other foot in the gutter...

I can't think of a suitably transparent faux-working-class underdog song for the Red Sox. There has to be one out there.
