Default Worst Possible Baseball Walk-Up Songs

I need some help from people suggesting the most atrocious walk-up songs possible for my work's softball showdown this week. Since I just had knee surgery and can't play, I've been tapped to use the P.A. and apparently I'll have control over this as well. No song is too obnoxious to be turned down, send 'em up.

Any other suggestions as to what I might do at the expense of co-workers also welcomed. Have to entertain myself somehow after all.

Nothing gets me more pumped up walking to the plate than "Lionel Richie - Hello"

^Definitely got that one.

Also Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" is an obvious choice.

Bryce Harper had Justin Beiber's Boyfriend in his rookie year. I never knew if he picked it, or it was a rookie prank.

Anthony Rendon had Let it Go from Frozen for a while this year too.

Michael Morse's Take on Me was always fun.

I just suggest not doing it for every at bat, it will get old really fast. Pick one player on each team who can take a joke or perhaps the CEO or President. To add to the fun look at selecting appropriate music for each player.

Not thematic in any way, just a terrible, terrible song.

I'm going to agree with you on that, but first… let me take a #selfie

Yeah, some of them I have more appropriate ones. Short People by Randy Newman for the little guy is obvious, I have a couple people I could legitimately use "Just a Gigolo" for, "Dude looks like a lady"... there are some that aren't tough. The boss gets "Like a Boss" but I doubt he'll actually bat.

And it won't be for everyone because some people are selecting their own.

Damn, I Feel Like A Woman - Shania Twain
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
Auld Lang Syne - Mairi Campbell

What about the theme song to girly cartoons from our childhood like Rainbow Bright, My Little Pony, Jem, Powder Puff Girls, Sailor Moon etc.

Anything by Michael Bolton (except the Tale of Captain Jack Sparrow)
