Nats Vs Cardinals Calls For A Nelly Song

DC Sports Nexus ---- Friday, August 31, 2012

Here is our latest Nats Music video.  The St. Louis Cardinals are in town, and nobody is more "Lou" than Nelly (maybe Bradley Beal)  Following the Strasburg Shutdown Onyx theme, here is R-BI BI to the tune of Nelly's EI.  Enjoy!


Nats Rally Song: Big Man Waiting, Written By Bob Carpenter

DC Sports Nexus ---- Thursday, August 9, 2012

On Thursday night during the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros game, Bob Carpenter made the comment "Big man waiting" with Michael Morse in the on deck circle.  FP said it sounded like a country song, so Carp spit out the rest of the lyrics, jokingly claiming he "used to be a writer".

A few innings later the big man did some damage, putting a dent (maybe) into a billboard high up above the crowd in Houston after a homer.  Then, even later he hit a 2nd homer! RALLY SONG!


Bob said he would add new lyrics every time Morse did something on the roadtrip so a few late additions.  The lyrics:

Big Man Waiting

And He's Gonna Do Some Damage

In This Town

Tonight

He's No Longer A Big Man Waiting


He Is Now A Big Man Running The Bases

RIP DC Legend: Chuck Brown (Nationals Edition)

DC Sports Nexus ---- Wednesday, May 16, 2012

According to the Washington City Paper, A Washington D.C. music legend, Chuck Brown, has died at age 75 after being in the hospital with pneumonia.  The Godfather of Go-Go was known was not known by all due to his niche style of go-go music, but most people could probably begin to sing along with his most mainstream hit Bustin' Loose.  Chuck Brown put on a show that could be enjoyed by all types of people of all different generations and he will be missed.
==================================================

Back in 2008, the first season the Washington Nationals played in Nats Park, the team held a fan vote to see which song would be played after the first Nats player hit a homerun during every game.  The #1 vote-getter and winner was Chuck Brown's song "Bustin' Loose"

Well the first ever homerun at Nats Park turned out to be Ryan Zimmerman's walk-off, and so Chuck Brown's homerun song was shoved aside by the victory song, U2-Beautiful day.  Sad.  It probably ended up happening for the 1st time after a Christian Guzman HR.  Sad again.

So in honor of Chuck and his contribution to the city of Washington, D.C., here is Bustin' Loose.  RIP Chuck!
