At-bat songs for professors

Unfortunately, I've been watching a lot of baseball lately.  While I find the sport rather dull, I think there is one aspect of baseball that would really benefit our students: the at-bat song.

You know that moment when you first walk into the lecture room at the start of the semester?  Think about how many more orders of magnitude of awesomeness it would be if you were accompanied by 10 seconds of "Crazy Train!"


What would be your classroom at-bat song?

I don't know what I'd chose, but this is the best idea I've ever heard.

I think I'd use some Michael Jackson (like Thriller or Beat it) and moonwalk into the classroom.

Heh - I watch some amount of baseball for my husband's sake, and am likewise fascinated with the at-bat song. I think I might go with "Phenomena" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. They would both set an appropriate tone of awesomeness.

I think I'd like to have "Flight of the Valkyries" playing when I enter a classroom.

Definitely "Eye of the Tiger" as I trot down the auditorium steps, air boxing. Just imagine...

Dummm, dum, dum, dum...dum dum duruuummm...

"Crazy Train" is good; the first part gets used at our college ballpark. I lean towards "Start Me Up", which would put even more energy into the classroom.

Ooh, if Anon and I are at separate universities, can I have Flight of the Valkyries too? That's perfect.
