Thanks Funky for the thread idea.
I've actually got a couple I'd choose from, both with nice bass lines:

What would be your baseball walk up song?
- Thread starter elwood_blue
- Start date
In The Air Tonight would probably be my choice for a while. Has a creepy undertone to it and has a decent play on words to give it a baseball meaning.
Prince Fielder uses the air raid siren. I think that is a great idea for a big time home run hitter.

The guitar solo in Led Zeppelin's, No Quarter was my actual walk up song when I played for AAA Colombus Clippers. NSTMFS.
"Fireworks" by Katy Perry
Or
"Barbie Girl" by Aqua

"Bodies" - Drowning Pool
As I get set in the batters box and the pitcher delivers his 4 seam fastball, I get plunked in the head, and spend weeks in a coma.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Taylor Swift yet.

This song. Please ignore the video I couldn't find the song by itself
The unspoken reality is
"Despite my bad *** song, there's a 99% chance that the ball will never leave the infield"

Joey Votto used to use the intro to Paint it Black and it was pretty awesome. I might have to go with that.
1:36-+ mark.
Teaching lessons to the chil'renz about what to trust in is what I'm about as a solid fielding first baseman who bats 8th because he can't hit a curve ball.
The full opening to Hot for Teacher. It's too long, but I'd stand there adjusting gloves, cup and various other things until it was over. Think Nomar, but more aggressively OCD.
Ironman by Black Sabbath. Would sit in the dugout until the music picks up after the drumbeats and then run out to the batters box - like the Road Warriors storming the ring.
Here comes the boom. Not really known for hitting homes runs but, I would use it just to piss off the competition. Did hit my first grand slam 2 weeks ago during a tournament at Ft. Sill. Wind was gusting about 30 MPH during the blast so, it was wind assisted. Walked off as if I had done it before.
I've always thought the perfect song to play when the closer comes in the game is "School's Out" by Alice Cooper.
Gone - Montgomery Gentry. Jason LaRue had it when he was in Cincinnati and was used awhile when a Red hit a home run at GABP. Braves used it too at Turner Field.
