Well, when Jonathan Papelbon made his Citizens Bank Park debut, he strolled out to "Man in a Box" by Alice in Chains. Good song.
Well, his new music may be, um, controversial? In his first save opportunity tonight, Papelbon came out to Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar"
Check out the lyrics:
You built me up with your wishing hell I didn't have to sell you You threw your money in the pissing well You do just what they tell you REPENT, that's what I'm talking about I she'd the skin to feed the fake REPENT, that's what I'm talking about Whose mistake am I anyway? Cut the head off Grows back hard I am the hydra Now you'll see your star Prick your finger it is done The moon has now eclipsed the sun The angel has spread it's wings The time has come for bitter things [Chorus] The time has come it is quite clear Our antichrist Is almost here… It is done
You built me up with your wishing hell I didn't have to sell you You threw your money in the pissing well You do just what they tell you REPENT, that's what I'm talking about I she'd the skin to feed the fake REPENT, that's what I'm talking about Whose mistake am I anyway? Cut the head off Grows back hard I am the hydra Now you'll see your star Prick your finger it is done The moon has now eclipsed the sun The angel has spread it's wings The time has come for bitter things
[Chorus]
The time has come it is quite clear Our antichrist Is almost here… It is done
The lyrics seem pretty tame, but the title is enough to probably bother someone.
As for Jimmy Rollins, he picked a song I really like, "Uptown Anthem" from Naughty By Nature. Besides for the team missing the coolest part of the sound, which is the introduction, they picked a part of the song to play that contains the N-word and the phrase "ho-happy pappy" and a drug reference.
Good idea? Here are the lyrics from the clip played last night:
Hey, you could smoke a spliff with a cliff But there's still no mountain hiiiigh enough, or wide enough to touch The naughty nappy nasty n**** the nasty trashy hoe happy pappy That's Happi to be Nappi Me and Vin rock when spots hit flocks and groups and troops with Timbo boots and jail suits That's how I'm rollin my hair-do don't
In a family friendly ballpark, there may be better choices, no?
Here they are. Parental Advisory: don't let your kids listen to these unless they are at a Phillies game.
