[2026] Entrance Songs in Sports: Cool Western Music / Entrance BGM (71–80)
Batter UpNelly, St. Lunatics
There are many songs that use baseball as a theme, but when it comes to tracks that depict the batter, “Batter Up” stands out.
This piece was created by the hip-hop group St.
Lunatics in collaboration with Nelly.
It portrays a batter waiting for their turn in the lineup and then facing the pitcher.
The batter’s feelings are described in detail, so even those who’ve never stepped into the batter’s box can relate.
When you listen for the first time, pay attention to how the depicted game unfolds.
Hail Mary2Pac
This track is featured on the de facto final album of the legendary rapper 2Pac, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which was released shortly after his life was cut short at the age of 25.
It’s known for having been created in less than an hour, and it was made after he had changed his name to Makaveli.
The song carries religious themes, and thinking about the cruel fate that befell 2Pac after its creation evokes complex emotions.
This is also the song chosen as a personal theme by Jimi Manuwa, a mixed martial artist from the United States who now resides in London, England.
Although a late starter who began training at 28, he built an impressive record.
Rather than a track to hype you up, it might be better suited for moments when you want to cool down.
Songs 2Blur
This is “Song 2,” a signature track by Blur, a band that lit up the UK’s ’90s rock scene.
It kicks off with drum sounds that fire up your fighting spirit, and the heavily distorted band sound cranks up the energy.
It’s a must-listen, especially when you’re lacking motivation to work out! It’s included on the album “Bustin’ + Dronin’.”
Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) ft. Freedom WilliamsC+C Music Factory
This is the song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” by the American music group C+C Music Factory, released in 1990 and featuring Freedom Williams.
It’s a track you often hear on TV shows! I’d love to see a showboating athlete make an entrance to it! It’s included on the album Gonna Make You Sweat.
The Final CountdownEurope
The Yomiuri Giants’ player Alex Ramirez’s walk-up song is the signature track by the hard rock band Europe.
It’s not unusual for baseball players to choose hard rock for their walk-up music, but picking Europe felt unexpected to me.
Still, it’s a great song.
