I'm hoping someone, or a couple of someones can help me out. I'm trying to figure out all the songs that get played at Fenway Park on a regular basis. Like before the game, inbetween innings, and at the end of the game. I know there is: Sweet Caroline, Dirty Water, Take Me Out to The Ballgame...

Any help that people could give me would be great! Thanks.

Last night they were playing "Move your Feet" by Junior Senior after a walk, I believe. It threw me for a loop.

They also play "That's the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it" which is by KC and the Sunshine Band, I think, after a walk.

After a HR, they used to play regularly "Boom Boom Boom" by the Outhere Brothers. They still sometimes play "Song 2" by Blur for a HR or something equally as good.

tessie by the dropkick murphys, is that ever going to be released? its a great song its not a song thats played at fenway, but i know a great song done a while ago called yankees suck like most of them are but i can upload it somewhere if anyone wants to hear it i think its by john valby or something liek that?

THANKS FF.....anyone else?

Right before the Sox take the field and they play "Centerfield" by John Fogarty, they play one of my favorite songs, "Uptight Alright" by Stevie Wonder (a very young Stevie Wonder..."

"Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight...."

After the Sox win, of course there is Dirty Water. Last year, it was followed by Joy to the World (you know, Jeremiah was a bullfrog...). Now there is a song before that one, and that's third after the game...

During some pitching changes they play The Happy Organ on the Fenway organ.

They play the "Odd Couple" theme song during some mound meetings. I've heard them also play "Land of Confusion"-Genesis and "Sweet Talking Guy"-forget who during mound meetings.

They've played "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough"-Michael Jackson during offensive explosions. "Walk of Life"-Dire Straits is played at times during walks. "Yeah"-Usher is a very popular tune. "Kryptonite"-Three Doors Down is Tek's AB music.

I've heard them play "Zombie Nation"(I think the song is called) after HRs.

Oh yeah they've played "Song 2"-Blur after big hits. Oh yeah and "Diamonds and Guns"-The Transplants after big hits as well.

They have been playing "Brass Bonanza" a lot recently. It used to be the Hartford Whalers goal song.

It will be released on August 24th. Go here for information:

I ripped the audio from the video, so I've actually had the mp3 for quite a while, but I'm still buying the single when it comes out. And yes, it does rock.


Also, on BDD, there's a segment about the songs that each player selects when they're coming up to bat, or coming out of the bullpen to pitch:

you guys rock...thanks...keep it comin!

Periodically after a walk they will play "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith.

I am trying to find out what that song they play for Manny is. They play it at his first AB usually. Catchy.

Hate to play the role of Captain Buzzkill here, but as I stated in the thread about the Fenway organist awhile back, they should at the very least severely cut back on the music at Fenway...I'm there for a game, not a rock concert, and personally I enjoy talking to whomever I'm at the game with between innings rather than having my ears blown out by their speaker system.

I think Cabrera's AB music is "Float On"-Modest Mouse...I'm like 90 % sure

is there any way you could send it to me? i can email you with instructions on where to upload it, i have the video but its a streaming video and i tried ripping the audio but the quality was very poor

Ok t23, I started really paying attention to the game music for you.

Besides the entrance music, which was a different thread...

Last night, when they made a pitching change, they played "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.

I'm kind of glad they have expanded their horizons a bit and are playing different and new stuff.

I wish they'd put together a CD of the songs they play at Fenway (not the "Sounds of Fenway thing with stuff I never heard of). You could have Dirty Water (not the easist song to get on CD unless you want the rest of the Standells), Centerfield, Uptight, Sweet Caroline, a nice organ rendition of take me out to the ball game, etc etc...

at the end of the game it goes Dirty Water, Tessie, Joy to the World, atleast it did last night

there is a possibility that if i got together with some other people i could make this happen, it wouldnt be anything official and i probably couldnt use that name for legal reasons but i know somewhere where i could actually get it onto a cd with a nice cover and everything, that is if it is wanted. i wouldnt want to spend my money making this and then find out that no one wants it. i do know somewhere that i can "self-produce" this i would need help finding songs and making sure that this is something people would buy. i wouldnt take the profits (if there were any) btu instead, id send it to a charitable foundation (not the red sox foundation however) but does anyone think that would be a good idea? it would be nothing official just something to have, i could contact places to find out different songs to put on it

When I was there they played All-American Rejects "swing, swing" at almost every game except for one.

I'm not sure the name of the song, but I know Millar comes out to Godsmack.

haha funny you should say that....that's why I've been asking this question....I'm trying to create the cd.....if I get it done and people want copies i'd be more than willing to make extras for those who have helped me out

thank you everyone....I appreciate all the help...if there are more songs keep em comin....

But why oh why do they play "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond at anytime during the game? This is one I just do not get. Does ANYONE here know?

You wouldn't understand because you live with a perpetual stick up your ass, but they do it because the whole crowd sings it and its fun

Exactly. Reminds me of that bar scene in "Beautiful Girls".
(Co-starring, ironically, Rosie O'Donnell)

Hey, to be fair, that was before she had her show (I think) and before she was wholly unlikeable, had an angry look haircut and was an angry lesbian. That diatribe she went off on in the drugstore to Matt Dillon and Timothy Hutton was hilarious.

I was wondering about this. When I went to the game the other night, Cabrera used that song ing the first AB, some traditional Latin music in his second, and some hard rock in his third.

IMHO, that's a song people enjoy more when they are drunk, thats why it usually doesn't debut til around the 6th.

I'm with you man. At the game the only organ I heard was Take Me Out to the Ballgame. I think it's an ownership thing, the new ownership is way more into the music that the Yawkey Trust

In the middle of the eighth actually.

Here's a link for every club's at bat songs. The lists aren't complete, but this link is pretty interesting.

Better than living with your head up your ass, troll.


The scene no doubt is the reason they started playing it at Fenway, as the film was set in Massachusetts.

For all those who have bought the Tessie single, I'm sure you'll all agree it's an awesome song. Those who haven't, go out and get it! I really think that everybody who possibly can should learn at least the chorus to the song. The original Royal Rooters sang Tessie like mad in the stands, and I think we should too. It would be phenomenal to hear all of Fenway screaming "Boston, you know we love you madly, hear the crowd roar to your sound!" not just after a win, but between innings, during innings, before the game... Show those stupid Yankee fans what team spirit really is. If you want to know the lyrics, check them out here.

http://www.dropkickmurphys.com/discography...sie/tessie.html

I still haven't heard the Dropkick Murphy's version of Tessie, so I really can't judge one way or the other, but I'll tell you this: I love the original, the one recorded over a hundred years ago.

Despite the fact that I love old-timey tunes like that, like Billy Holliday, Vera Lynn, and Al Bowly, there's something about that song that's just so pure. So innocent. The first time I heard it was this year, thanks to these boards, in a Sox - Yanks game thread from April. The score was close, and Nuf Ced made this post:



I did. They won. Ever since that day, I have absolutely fallen in love with that song. Since learning the story behind it, I love it even more. Every day when I come home from work to check Dirt Dogs, it's the song that's playing as the page loads.

This song was associated with the Sox before the streak, before the Yankee feud, before everything bad which has happened in the past 86 years. To me, it's their true theme song. That song must be heard in Fenway again, and not over the PA system by a modern punk band, but sung in a chorus by the fans in the seats.

I still love Dirty Water, though.

Does anyone know the name of the song they play at Fenway right after "Play ball" and who it is that sings it? It's also used in some NESN broadcasts, such as Red Sox Rewind. I've looked around for it but no luck.

The lyrics start out with something like "Play ball! I just want to play, whatever the inning, whoever is winning, it's all the same..." You've all heard it.

Papelbon comes out to "Bodies", forget the artist. You know the song "Let the bodies hit the floor...."

I think they played John Fogerty's "Centerfield" when I was there, but those aren't the lyrics.



The band is "Drowning Pool", but I had thought he came in to a different track of theirs: "Sinner".

Killer song for Paps. Saw "Drowning Pool" at Ozzfest a few years back. Their lead singer died of a heart attack at the age of 30 a couple years ago.



Great mosh beat.

No, I know that song well and it's definitely not that one. This one is played immediately after "play ball!" just before the games. It's weird, I can't find anything on it online. I'm going to check out the credits after Red Sox Rewind or the Red Sox Report on NESN and see if it's mentioned.

I heard that just this afternoon on the Red Sox Report and I definitely remember that song. It sounded almost like the Cheers theme song except it went something like "Play Ball, no matter the season...something else that I forget"

gerky, what kind of music is it? I found this website by throwing some of those lyrics on Google. Don't know if this helps or if I'm way off base, so to speak.

Papelbon's song rocks. I love that song. Drowning Pool's lead singer died from choking on his own vomit while passed out.

That guy who sang that wretched song during last year's opening ceremonies, I think that's one of his songs.

Terry Cashman is his name, if that is the same guy.

Just had a quick question...does anyone know what song Papi enters to this yr? It's like a remix of we will rock you...but I dont know what version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found the song that they play during the games
its called
"Play Ball" by J. Bristol
lyrics transcribed by Center Field

i found it at
http://www.outincenterfield.com/blog/2008/01/hallelujah.html

its sweet
and you can download it from their
also we should make a cd of all the songs they play at fenway

FSG really should put out a "Songs of Fenway" CD every now and then with player songs and what not.

You'd figure Vol 1 features Tessie and Shipping Up, Sweet Caroline, Dirty Water, Take Me Out, Play Ball, and Brass Bonanza. Then, throw some player songs in there like Welcome To The Jungle and Cryptonite.

Sweet Jesus, what a pathetic song. It makes me appreciate the Murphys even more.

The chorus is good, Bama.

The rest, of course, is an abysmal country song. But, hey, it happens. I love hearing the song at Fenway after the official "Play Ball!"

Just listening to the chorus of that song makes me smile and think of just standing in the warm bleachers looking out at the beautiful green grass...

They used to play "Uptight/Everythings Alright" by little Stevie Wonder.

Dude could sing, man. Dude was like 16 when he recorded that song and its still a classic.

I just watched "Fever Pitch" again and even "Sweet Caroline" got me singing in my empty house at the top of my lungs.

I. Need. Baseball.
