Player Introductions

With sports and music being so synonymous, there is music at almost every sporting event. For basketball, its usually during warm-ups and player introductions. In baseball it's right before the batter goes up to the plate. Well what if life had player introductions. Seriously, picture yourself waking up, getting out of bed and "your" song playing in the background as you yawn and wipe the eye boogers out your eye. What would that song be?

My "life introduction song" would change from day to day depending on my mood and circumstances at that particular time.

But after a fresh cut, with some clean kicks and a new fit only one song comes to mind. So Fly By slim. I could see it now. Just getting out the shower putting lotion on, ready for a night out. Me standing in the mirror with my towel still on after I just shaved. Slap some aftershave on and feel it burn a little bit. Then brush my teeth, brush my hair, put my gear on, spray some smell good on me, put the blings in real quick and I'm ready to go. That's when the announcer comes in and says : and now from Modesto California at 22 years of age... ERICCCCCC WATTERFORRDDD (while so fly is blasting through the speakers)!! Then I hear the crowd roar, fog and strobe lights everywhere, and me feeling like I'm the flyest dude alive!

I just love to have fun with music. I asked other people what their life introduction song would be and received some different responses, some more serious than others.

Korey Thieleke said his song would be "Tryin to beat da odds" by Plies. " From being a foster kid and having nothing in life then being doubted, to finding a way to overcome obstacles and make it to college, I feel like this song explains my struggle," said Thieleke.

John Bailey feels like "The lazy song" by Bruno Mars explains his life, at least lately. "I just like to be lazy," said Bailey.

What is your life introduction song?
