Several major league baseball teams allow their players to pick a song of which five seconds or so are played as they are walking to the batter's box. What song and what part are you using when you make it to the majors?

4'33" by John Cage. Don't matter what part, the whole thing melts/slays.

Curduroy by The Wedding Present - just a great growly guitar intro. And no vocals for the first 5-10 seconds.

Either:
"Bad Penny" by Big Black; or
"My Favorite Things" by Julie Andrews from "The Sound of Music" soundtrack
Never been able to decide.

I was at a cardinals game the other day, and a friend and I had this exact discussion. it was because Walker came out to "crazy train" which we thought was hilarious.
we agreed AMAZON by the melvins is the meanest intro you can imagine.
the final countdown was definitely europe. I had the tape.

I've always been torn between the intro to "glamorous" by the Jesus Lizard or any portion of Jingle Bells. Corduroy by the Wedding Present as suggested earlier is also an excellent choice.
