This month, we asked some local celebs what walk-up music [2] they'd use if they played for the Rockies. We couldn't resist asking our editorial staff the same question.
"Good Life [3]" by OneRepublic—I just can't resist that chorus shout-out to Colorado. Followed closely by "MMMBop [4]" by Hanson. No, seriously. —Julie Dugdale, Senior Editor
"Let Me Clear My Throat [5]" by DJ Kool. —Natasha Gardner, Senior Editor/Digital Editor
"Panama [6]" by Van Halen. With that opening riff, I'd hit a home run every time! —Geoff Van Dyke, deputy editor
"Rocket [7]" by Def Leppard —Amanda M. Faison, Food Editor
"Shallow Be Thy Game [8]" by Red Hot Chili Peppers —Luc Hatlestad, Articles Editor
"Up Around the Bend [9]" by Creedence Clearwater Revival —Lindsey B. Koehler, Managing Editor
"Take On Me [10]" by a-ha —Lindsey R. McKissick, Editorial Assistant
"All Alone [11]" by Toro Y Moi —Chris Outcalt, Assistant Editor
"The Rubberband Man [12]" by Spinners —Maximillian Potter, Executive Editor
"Kick It Out [13]" by Boom Boom Satellites. A cool song with a good jam and dance beat—I would definitely look good walking out to it! —Georgia Alexia Benjou, Fashion Editor
"Rapper's Delight [14]" by Sugarhill Gang. You only get 15 seconds or so of the song, so you need something that jumps into lyrics (or has a memorable opening musical riff). Rapper's Delight does both nicely. Or, if I were famous, I'd have Jay-Z redo the lyrics to "99 Problems": "I got 99 problems, but your pitch ain't one." —Robert Sanchez, Senior Staff Writer
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody [15]" (starting about 4:13 in) or the opening beat of "Laffy Taffy [16]" by D4L. —Daliah Singer, Assistant Editor
