Well there is one right down the middle for Sox fans. After Ramsin Canon completely inflammatory article and now this question.

I am done.

If I wanted to read this crap, I would go to a Sox message board.

PJ Chmiel / October 28, 2005 1:17 PM

I don't give a flying f*ck about sports, but for the Cubs I'd have to say "Margaritaville" judging by all the obnoxious drunks stumbling around "Wrigleyville" all summer long.

Andrew / October 28, 2005 1:31 PM

Well, cheap shot, you could read into the question that way -- I thought it was pretty wide open. And considering the range of answers in those four responses before yours -- two negative/jokey, one positive and one ambiguous -- so did everyone else. Perhaps you're taking things a little too personally?

Here's a mixture of sincere and snarky suggestions:
- "Livin' On a Prayer," Bon Jovi
- "Join Together," The Who
- "The Boys Are Back in Town," Thin Lizzie
- "It's a Long Way To the Top," AC/DC
- "This Will Be Our Year," The Zombies
- "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," Nancy Sinatra

steven / October 28, 2005 1:34 PM

I think a few people need to remember that this is only sports, not life or death. Cubs fans, relax. Sox fans, enjoy yourselves.

Pete / October 28, 2005 2:27 PM

I chose my "negative/jokey" response for the relentless optimism of most Cub fans (the song ends with the line "Well, maybe next year") as well as the managerial bozos that run the team into the ground, year after year. And for the record, I'm a former Cub fan (and NOT a Sox Fan)--one who maintains a soberly realistic sense of the team's chances.

How about "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better"?

And anything by Raffi, really.

If none of those suffice, I'd settle for "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister.

I'm sorry Andrew, my life is terrible right now and I really didn't need to post that. I've decided to get some therapy to deal with my problems. I'm sorry.

Nick / July 29, 2007 4:50 PM

first off...F*** the White Sox. they better stop believing cuz they suck this year. and if i had to pick a theme song for the cubbies i would have to go with either "Walk this way" by Aerosmith, just cuz its a bad ass song..or "Beautiful Day" by U2.

alroy / March 18, 2008 11:18 PM

no cars go -by arcade fire.
every time i hear it, i am secretly singin 'go cubs go' in my hed. it is a new to the main stream scene band, and the Cubs are looking for a fresh start. The lyrics are simple -it is a great sing-a-long song, with a chorus that is great for crowd chanting. plus, it jams it's a good driving song, it moves you, soda speak.
