Big John Studd October 28th, 2011, 10:16 AM Hey ya'll, we are gigging tonight at a sports bar. If Texas wins we're gonna launch right in to China Grove (cause we know it) right when the final out is recorded. But if Saint Louis wins we need some equivalent song. I can't really think of anything other than Saint Louis Blues, and I'm not sure that would do it. Anybody out there from Saint Louis? Is there some rocking song out there that the city or the Cardinals fans really resonate with? Thanks!
rbrown October 28th, 2011, 10:33 AM Any Cardinals fan from St Louis has 1 song that they relate to the Cardinals winning a World Series. That would be Celebration by Kool and the Gang. It was the song played over the loud speakers after they won the 1982 world Series. If you ask any St Louisian what song they relate to a Cardinal World Series that would be it. Another good song though is The Heat is On by Glenn Frey.

gr81dorn October 28th, 2011, 11:28 AM I think you could do an AWESOME adaptation of this song by the hip-hop artist Nelly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CCnVs5kbfg
brookdalebill October 28th, 2011, 11:29 AM Duke Ellington and Steely Dan's "East St. Louis Toodle-oo"?

hecubus October 28th, 2011, 11:40 AM How about, "All my exes live in Texas" but change the chorus to "that's why I reside in St. Louie"
Nothing to do with baseball but it creates tension between the two cities. BTW, Go Rangers!
Big John Studd October 29th, 2011, 10:24 AM Thanks ya'll! Well we wound up breaking right around the bottom of the 8th. At that point it seemed pretty certain Saint Lou was going to win. I quickly taught everyone that Fogerty song Centerfield, and we tore into that as soon as the Cards scored the last out. The place was packed...probably 200 people...which is a big crowd for us. Honestly probably two other people in the place gave a darn about the game besides me...this is Washington DC where if it's not the Yankees or the Red Sox nobody even cares. In retrospect, if I were a Cards fan it probably would have been me, cooler of beer, TV, locked in a closet rather than out in a bar for that one.

Watch "St. Louis" video
Lyrics to St. Louis :
Whoa, yeah
Countrymen, friends, lend me your ears
I'll tell you a tale of fifteen years
I'm an old man that's so forlorn
I wanna see the city where I was born
I got a feeling that I can't stand
I wanna go home to my home land
Ain't got no money, I ain't got a cent
I can't get on that train so help me
(CHORUS)
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Come on, people, gotta get moving
Come on, people, gotta get grooving
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Step up to me, you city gents
And I'll clean your shoes for fifteen cents
I'll fix your tie, you'll look a smash
If you don't mind, I'll take the cash
Soon I'll get the money and I'll feel fine
To pack my bags and drink my wine
I only know I got to go home
The good Lord told me so, so help me
(CHORUS)
Which train goes to Louis
You know I got the fare
I know my time's coming fast
I got to try to raise the fare
Come on, people, gotta get moving
Come on, people, gotta get grooving
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis
Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis......
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way
Show me the way to St.Louis
Show me the way....
