If Being a Sox Fan Right Now Were a Song...

[Procol Harum]

If you were to nominate a song that best describes how you feel as a Sox fan right at this point of 2003, what would it be?

My first nomination: The Kinks' 1965 hit: "Tired of Waiting"

How about a minor hit, although not a true song, from the '60s: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha! Ha!"?

[Daver]

"She Wandered Through the Garden Fence"

[MHOUSE]

My pick: Halls of Illusion by ICP (replace illusions of a good life with a good team/season and the realities with a sub-.500 record and poor play instead of death and etc.)

My dad says: Nah nah nah nah hey hey by Steam

[WinningUgly!]

I guess I'll go with one of these KISS songs...

1) "Rock Bottom"
2) "Hard Times"
3) "Tears are Falling"
4) "I've Had Enough"
5) "Betrayed"

[TheBigHurt]

"THIS is the End, MY only friend the end" (Sox-Wise) The Doors BE GOOD

James Brown : "Super Bad"

[MRKARNO]

I'm not sure the name but it goes:

"It's the end of the world as we know it"

[WhiteSoxWinner]

Garbage - I'm Only Happy When It Rains

Dual meaning here. The band name describes what the Sox are playing like, and I wish it would rain more often when our pitchers give up runs in the top of the first.

im pretty sure thats the name and i believe R.E.M. sang it..

my choice

"too drunk to ( four letter word for having sex that you cant say here :))" by the dead kennedy's...figure every sox fan should be in a drunken stupor by now

[Fisk72]

I'm too tired to think of songs because I've been writing my damn thesis so I can graduate Friday, but I would have to say that if we could also pick a name of a band, it would be "Garbage."

[voodoochile]

"Crazy" - Patsy Cline

"Purple Haze" - Jimi Hendrix

[SoxxoS]

'Dancin in the Dark' -The Boss

"No Excuses" -Alice in Chains

"Barely Breathing"- Duncan Sheik

[LuvSox]

This Dream Is Over / Van Halen

Dead Flowers / Rolling Stones

Heavy / Collective Soul

[southpaw40]

First reaction; "Let's Just Kiss and Say Goodbye",,,,,but upon further reflection; "Singin' in the Rain" to signify the bad times we
're going though right now, but blue skies are ahead!

[Bobby Thigpen]

"Dazed and Confused"- Led Zeppelin

[Hangar18]

Trampled Under (KC's) Foot - Led Zeppelin

[Hangar18]

Flirtin' With Disaster - Molly Hatchet

[thecell]

Fade to Black - Metallica

[Dadawg_77]

I would go with one of these

So Many Tears - 2Pac
My Mind is Playin Tricks on me - Ghetto Boys
No Woman No Cry -
We Didn't Start the Fire - Maybe all of Sox history here

But my number one choice is

Ice Ice Baby - Because the Sox are playing as awful as this song was.

[Hangar18]

"Why does it always seem to be? Im lookin at you, your lookin at me, ITS ALWAYS THE SAME, ITS JUST ASHAMED, THATS ALL"
- Genesis/Phil Collins

[Procol Harum]

Given our impending West Coast trip, another tune from way back in '65 comes to mind:

"Eve of Destruction"--Barry McGuire

[thecell]

Upon deeper reflection, I would have to change my choice to Sanitarium by Metallica.

[Hangar18]

Ship Of Fools - Metal Church

[Hangar18]

"Sad But True" - Metallica

[Iwritecode]

"My Friend of Misery" - Metallica

So many choices. Two that stand out:

Beck---Loser
???--You Suck

At least I think that's the name. Some chick sings it. It's from the late '80's early '90's. Don't remember all the words but the chorus is something like "....and for that You Suck"


One other song that just came to mind (that they actually play at the Cell) is "Oh, that smell"

Elvis Costello has alot of songs that work for me as a Sox fan.

- "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down"
- "Accidents Will Happen"
- "No Action"
- "Lip Service"
- "Waiting For the End of the World"


I wish they would have Elvis Costello night at Comiskey for a change. I like him better than the other Elvis.
