“Copacabana” by Barry Manilow would be more fitting, although the mass suicide of an entire baseball stadium might be an unfortunate side effect.

Ah – how about “John’s Other” from the first electric Hot Tuna album?

“Dark Star” would work. “White Rabbit” by the Airplane is just about the right length, and goes with the general alternative reality theme of Tommy. I like “Tales of Brave Ulysses” for the general water theme and besides, then I get to throw Clapton in the mix.

Can’t believe no one’s suggested any Jimmy Buffett songs yet. Cheeseburger in Paradise?

Also, you may note that I put the album in italics…not a coincidence.

I’m aware, but I would have taken “Angel of Death”, “Jesus Saves”, “Raining Blood”, or “Piece by Piece” so I decided to just go with the album. I should have just said “Slayer” in hindsight, since most of their catalog would work.

Why “Magnum PI” and not “Miami Vice”? May as well have picked “Northern Exposure.” Which, come to think, would be hilarious.

Also: The Conan the Barbarian over Game of Thrones. Really, anything by the late, great Basil Pouledouris would work here.

I heard the Marlins are going to actively try to NOT hit home runs while playing at home to avoid the embarrassment of that thing. When one of them accidently pops one over the fence, they’ll look sheepishly at the visiting team as they stare in awe and horror, then hold their hands out palms-up and shoulders shrugged as they’re trotting around the bases. “Sorry. We’re so sorry…”

I would have gone with Yakety Sax (a la Benny Hill).

Thanks for the link, that was fun. Ode to Joy actually works brilliantly.

Conga by Gloria Estefan works and of course she’s got the Miami connection. I liked the Star Wars cantina band too.

Someone should try the Chariots of Fire theme. Gotta cast a wide net to make sure you get this right.

If you’re gonna watch Tommy strut his stuff, I would think you’d want to play “Pinball Wizard” to it.

Failing that, Dark Star, the original version from Live Dead. Please put a little powdered cactus button in my diet coke first.

How about Ode to a Wrecking Ball scored for jackhammers, a blast furnace and Loria's screams as he has to pay back the taxpayers for that POS?

Game of Thrones is so fantastic it should be bronzed and put on a mantel somewhere. Between baseball and Season 2 premiere on Sunday, life is a box of delicious pies right now.

Eric Estrada has acquired sufficient mass to have capture several marlins in his gravitational field… I like it.
