TJones Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Twisted Sister.Now close your eyes and imagine that echoing through Minute Maid Park with tens of thousands of screaming fans. Ummmmm, that's Quiet Riot that sings that song Cheif. I think "Cursed Diamond" by The Black Crowes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Straying off topic a little, does anyone know who will sing the National Anthem in Houston? Or do they only do that for game 1 of the World Series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) The performer of the National Anthem for Thursday night's game in Houston is :drumroll: dududududududududududududududududududu....... Diane Nichols from Muscatine, Iowa! No kidding.http://www.muscatinejournal.com/articles/2.../news/news3.prt EDIT: Oh my! I'm so sorry. That's an old article from one of last year's regular season games. I should have known better after the article referred to the Cubs. I thought it was a typo.

dbigtex56 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Anyone see Lou Rawls' rendition of the National Anthem last night?Pathetic. Pick a key, Lou. Roseanne Barr did a better job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Lou needs to quit adding words to the song. I think it's fine the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll know sooner or later. WTF!!!! Big & Rich is singing the National Anthem in Houston?!!!! I hope Paul Wall commits a drive-by! What does Big & Rich have to do with Houston, anyway? William Hung has more respect for the job than Big & Rich! And I would LOVE to see Janet sing the anthem for us! Seriously! " ...And the LAND of the FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..... (insert nipple slip here) " Oh, and here's a couple songs for da Astros Jukebox on da White Sox: Ying Yang Twins "Wait" AC/DC " TNT" David Bowie "Fame" Afroman "Because I got High" Green Day "Brain Stew" Twisted Sister "I wanna Rock" (what's up with HAIF and Twisted Sister? ) Lil Keke "SouthSide" and my personal favorite, 30 foot fall "F*ck y'all, We're from Texas" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 What does Big & Rich have to do with Houston, anyway?Probably more than Michael McDonald and Jon Secada. If the Astros lose tonight and tomorrow, we won't have to listen to Big & Rich. Needless to say, I hope we have to listen to Big & Rich.Gawd. Certainly isn't the Super Bowl, is it? Yeah, well, I like Josh Groban, but their other choice, Lou Rawls, isn't exactly all that impressive either. But he is at least a Chicago native, I think. I would have chosen Houston's Kenny Rogers, Destiny's Child/or Beyonce (I know, typical) and Kelly Clarkson (not a Houstonian, but a Texan). I like Kelly, the people like Kelly and she's talented. I would also have gotten Clint in place of those Big and Rich goofballs. I wonder who will sing "God Bless America". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian in Iraq Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I really like the new "Houston Astros" sung by Chamillionaire. It's tight. y'all check it out. yeah, just heard it. And Chamilionaire is a native Houstonian. Some people might be oppose to it becuase it is rap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think the Paul Wall song is better. You can hear them both here:Tunes put some hip-hop into Astros' pennant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) The Paul Wall song names all the players and the year. The Chamillionaire song doesn't. So ten years from now, when the Astros are in the play-offs, they'll be able to resurrect Chamillionaire's song - but not Paul Wall's. I'm sure Chamillionaire's producers did this for one reason.. money. Edited October 25, 2005 by Jeebus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The Smiths, of course) y'all are awesome i have changed my mind, however - i think it should now be: "Panic" hell, i could come up with a zillion appropriate smiths songs!

Parrothead Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm beginning to think a song from Beck is in order here... "Soy.......un perdador......." GO STROS! Don't make me sing that song. I BELIEVE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 For next year, I think the Astros need a season-long theme and I think it should be "We're Not Going to Take It" by that '80s/or maybe '70s group (was it KISS?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Oh ok. I knew it was someone I was frightened of as a child and Twisted Sister and KISS were both responsible for that. I was also thinking Quiet Riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
