Brewers Walk On Songs 2013


Brewers walk on songs
Walk-on songs are tradition throughout professional sports. Wrestlers will often have a composer create a theme song for them to step into the ring with. In Europe, the popular sports of darts and snooker have become famous for their usage of entrance-music for competitors, with all thirty-two participants in the recent 2012 World Snooker Championship required to pick a tune. In darts, introduction-music is used as an hype-tool, often boasting a player's nickname or home country.

Even in the United States, music has come to play a pivotal role in our overall spectacle-sport experience. Colleges take pride in old fight-songs, while professional football teams often hire songwriters to come up with a catchy crowd favorite.

In baseball, the use of music to signal the next player at-bat has become standard. Even pitchers have their own walk-on songs. AC/DC's “Hell's Bells” was recommended to be honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame for its use as Padres reviler Trevor Hoffman's theme in 1998.

Fans had their first chance at hearing their favorite Brewers player's walk-on theme at opening day on Monday. Only Aramis Ramirez denied an entrance-song, while the rest of his teammates spanned music's genres with picks from Drake to Motley Crew.
