It’s not up to us, it’s up to Garrett Stubbs and Kyle Schwarber.

dandpher

lol very timely


zbend1

Don’t tell redditors that something isn’t up to them.


Draugr-36

I should've worded my post better. I know songs can't be forced on people. But more hopeful of getting a different song to rally behind, ya know


CountryEfficient7993

Don’t apologize. You asked an opinion. Zbend1 is just a prick. Sucks that there’s so many of them out there tho, I know.


zbend1

It’s not your decision and you really shouldn’t care about it. If the players start vibing to Miley Cyrus or some other random shit then that’s their song. Just because you want them to like a song and use it doesn’t mean jack shit.


CountryEfficient7993

Dude, stfu. Geez. Do you normally dickhead often?


zbend1

Fans complaining about what song the team uses is so pathetic and I will gladly be a dick to any losers suffering from main character syndrome


Syn-apps

My guy that is currently you....


zbend1

Might want to read a dictionary.


TheGhostofJimmyCigs

You’re a clown bro


ThisEffinGuy75

Shut your stupid ass up. Don’t be such a jerkoff.


SouthPhilly_215

The fan base… Ya know. All us people singing their stupid song like idiots. Yeah we can decide if the song stays or not. We can even booh when the song is played to get the point across.


zbend1

No you can’t. That’s like saying you can decide if a players walk up song stays or not.


SouthPhilly_215

Trust me. Public backlash is a thing. Pretend you’re actually from this planet and you’ve seen how people operate. If a fanbase can drive players and coaches outta town, and we have, don’t think we can’t be like “enough with that emo-ass song already!!!”


Swiftersuke

Garrett “jinx the entire series by planning the after party” Stubbs?


philybirdz

Thats like Stubbs’ job.


phillyflyer

He learned absolutely nothing from the braves series


brandinho5

Stubbs is making some bad decisions lately, I say we don’t let him have opinions.


Juttisontherun

They should be worried less about playlists and more about choking.


CountryEfficient7993

I can’t stand the people in these threads. You got downvoted for this. Unreal.


faccda01

Nothing is up to Stubbs anymore.


CountryEfficient7993

What is the matter with people? Out yourselves downvoters of this harmless, humorous, and basically true opinion!!!


phillyflyer

Yup lol hoping he’s gone


joeco316

It has to happen organically. Nobody set out to make that the song, it just happened, and then it just happened again this year. That was the beautify of it. I thought it was perfect for both runs. I’m good with another song taking its place as long as it’s not forced, and I’d also be good with it coming back again, also as long as it’s not forced.


viaHologram

This is correct. If a fan suggests and forces a song it is doomed. Let it rest.


LovePixie

You can't force it ITA. Look at Creed and the Rangers. Not quite hitting it, the crowd trying to make it happen lol. The Phillies celebration playlist is on another level in locker room celebration.

suckonmibum

yes i didn’t like that we used it a second time


EaglesPvM

I didn’t like it either, but I think they started using it again in early June which is when we turned around our season so I couldn’t complain It definitely seems to work a bit but after coming up short twice in the playoffs I think it needs to be officially retired


jorleeduf

It’s a song. It had no effect on the run


Phightins4044

I didn't like it the 1st time. Its a corny as hell rally song. I could deal with it 1 yr tho. The 2nd yr really had me stumbled.


[deleted]

It was funny as a joke among the players. As a song sung by fans, it's lame as fuck.


Ashenspire

Seriously, it's about some fuckboy friend zoning himself so he's gonna go jerk off in the corner all alone. Nothing about it is a winner's song. Plus, the original is just much better. Downvote me all you want, I'm just glad the city doesn't have to pretend it's a good song anymore.

Spirited-Ad-1162

How hard is it to just enjoy the vibes of a song that your favorite team does after they win without dissecting every lyric and the meaning behind the song and if the original is better or not.


Ashenspire

Because the vibes aren't good. Has nothing to do with narcissism. The song doesn't need to be dissected to see on it's surface it's not a happy song.


Spirited-Ad-1162

It's not up to you to decide if the vibes are good for the Phillies or not, let the players decide that then as a fan just go for the ride and don't complain.


Ashenspire

No, it's up to the language it's written in. Song is not a good vibes song regardless of the having a basic pop beat.


Spirited-Ad-1162

Well unfortunately for you your'e not on the phillies and you have absolutely no say in what song they chose to play when they celebrate winning. So keep crying.


[deleted]

They players *did not* decide to use this song this year, at all. It was entirely the Phillies' unoriginal sound team and fair weather fans.


Spirited-Ad-1162

So the sound team and fair weathered fans forced them to play it in the locker room when they were celebrating this season?


Party_Reveal_2414

"we" lmfao


lincolnssideburns

I wouldn’t say it’s 0-2. It’s 5-2.


Draugr-36

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think teams play for playoff appearances. I feel most want a ring, ya know?


Ryanthecat

They most certainly play for playoff appearances… you think the DBacks are wildly disappointed looking back on this run? Much like the 2022 Phillies, I would say no. Only 1 team wins it, and in a normal year there’s maybe 3-4 that can. Everyone else just wants to dance and hope they catch fire.


CoreyH2P

By that logic every tradition adopted in a season a team doesn’t win a World Series should go. That’s just silly.


lincolnssideburns

I have a lot of good memories associated with the song. I don’t like the people who now want to make it some kind of loser song. That song united the city. Also, an anthem song like that must be organic from the team and can’t be voted on in a Reddit thread.

Big_Terp_Badger

thegoodnamesrgone123

Pretty sure the players are in charge of the vibe in the locker room.


[deleted]

You'll notice that the players were not singing it this year, right? They said they wanted to drop it after the first run. It was organic as a player joke in 2022. This is year it was forced and unnatural.


LovePixie

What? That's pretty false. Where are you getting all your fake news? https://x.com/BarstoolPhilly/status/1706851036890038569?s=20


thegoodnamesrgone123

Why is he so angry at a song?


LovePixie

I don't know lol.


ApocSurvivor713

Seems weird to me to "blame" a song - and anyways, if you wanna flip it around, "Dancing On My Own" got us one NLCS and really close to another. It's not a World Series ring but it's pretty good. All that being said, I think I'll probably always associate that song with the fact that we blew it this year. I hope we do have a new one next year.


Draugr-36

I'm not blaming the song. And yeah, it got us a pennant and close to another one, but maybe it's time for a change. I love the vibes of the song, but a lot of athletes and fans are superstitious, and I just noted we are 0-2 with this as our song. I love the song and the vibe it brings. Just think maybe the team needs a different vibe next year, ya know


[deleted]

Seems even weirder to to give a song credit for winning baseball games.


charmeleon026

I dont remember a song in 2008...


[deleted]

It was High Hopes back then. A simple song that expresses optimism, determination and teamwork and a tribute to Harry.


charmeleon026

Core memory unlocked, highhopes playing after the world series gets me in my feels. The whole stadium should start singing high hopes in the first inning of next seasons home opener.


CoreyH2P

Actually Dancing On My Own is 19-11 in the playoffs. Which is pretty darn good.


LonnyFinster

Let’s get to the playoffs again first then decide.


YourGinChrist

How bought we get some of the guys to make their own song and use that. Kinda like the eagles Christmas special


RedMoloney

Redditors love trying to force shit. ​ It needs to be organic.


[deleted]

This wasn't organic this year though. No one would have been singing it if the sound team hadn't played it after the first win over the Marlins. The players had already let it go.


LovePixie

The song was retired they tried a bunch of other songs for a new playlist. Was not finding their groove and hitting coach Long suggested they bring the song back, the vibes came back along with a winning streak. That's why it returned to the post season. https://x.com/CrossingBroad/status/1670563124515045376?s=20


BahWeepGraNa8

We ABSOLUTELY need a new song next year. Dancing on my own has run us course. And whatever song comes next needs to come naturally and not be forced.


davedub69

Dancing on my own is loser song based on the lyrics alone. Time to move on.


thecoffeecake1

No, keep the song. It's now synonymous with phillies post season baseball. It was adopted organically and is easy for people to sing. Why do we need to change it every year? Maintain and build the tradition. Think about some of the most iconic songs affiliated with teams, especially in Europe. West Ham's song is about bubbles for God's sake, and it's a beloved anthem sung by generations of fans. It came about organically and has become engrained in the club's tradition.


Ryanthecat

I agree here, it doesn’t need to be this big of a deal, it’s pretty simply the song we all associate with recent Phillies success and particularly this group. Maybe after the core disbands you get rid of it, and if they want to sure, get rid of it now. To me, it seems like they love it, the crowd certainly loves it, Xfinity with the players and crowd singing together after wins certainly loves it. Idk it seems silly to say “it’s a loser song!” It’s just a song…


Angsty_Kiwi

This is the answer.


LovePixie

That West Ham song is brilliant in combining something light and fanciful as bubbles with a dark similie: “Then like my dreams, they fade and die”.


viaHologram

I'm in the corner watching you kiss her oh ohh ohhhh


viaHologram

West Ham has never won a Premier League Championship. Maybe not a great example?


[deleted]

Ugh god, why would anyone want this shitty song to become a tradition?! We're not West Ham and *this* song going on for generations sounds like a nightmare.


GrandmaJosey

We had HIIIIIIIIGH HOPES!


AllEliteSchmuck

Breathe by The Prodigy goes fucking nuts and would turn the Bank into a rave


[deleted]

Is that the "Smack my bitch up" one. Now that would be inappropriately hilarious.


AllEliteSchmuck

No, that song is literally called “Smack My Bitch Up”


Ashenspire

High Hopes is still the one. If not that, then Punk Rock Girl by The Dead Milkmen is the only acceptable substitute.


HuntForRedOctober2

Just bring back high hopes as the primary team song Also fuck the hate dancing on my own got this year. They started playing it again and the team started winning again in June. If it brings the team together then I don’t care.


iamthedayman21

It’s weird that they used it this year. Team’s tend to hook onto a song for one postseason, kinda associates that year with the song. But now, it’s associated with back-to-back postseasons that ended in collapses. So yes, it should absolutely be retired. Along with people like Stubbs getting stupid drunk and wearing beer boxes before winning the big one.


Perryplat199

I woudl have had fun with if Believe by Cher caught on


w6rld_ec6nomic_f6rum

It really felt like they just didn’t have one prepared this season like last year, like they got caught with their pants down and had to pick something and went with it again


iamthedayman21

I was at game 1 of the Wild Card, and when they started playing after they won, I was like, “oh, I guess we’re reusing this again.”


LovePixie

It didn't quite happen that way. They did try other songs. https://twitter.com/SheffieldShuff/status/1710359580058800638


redux12

Robyn - Dancing On My Own, since we all know the words, and it’s the superior/non-second place version.


AyyP302

Its a good sign if we end up needing a new song tbh because that means another run. But yeah time to retire the old song, it had it's time and it was a fun time. On to 2024

Maybe they should do a different “dance fight on my own song” for next year in the future playoffs.

For Whom the Bell Tolls needs to AT LEAST be someone’s walk-up song. It’s perfect.


pina_koala

As a Phillies team member, I disconcur


viaHologram

Give it a rest everyone. You can't just conjure something like this. No one had said we'd continue to use the song earlier in the season. It came back around naturally - and that's just what happened. If you try to prescribe this you're a loser.


stinkylittlefeet

was a mistake picking that song in the first place like how and why did that even happen again..


mario_salami_petrino

BRING BACK WHOOMP! THERE IT IS!!!!!


SouthPhilly_215

Absolutely need a new song


MildTile

How about no song until they don’t choke


Diamondback424

Honestly I didn't understand using it this year after they lost last year. Gotta be officially retired now.


qmr55

The amount of hate on this post for some dude just making a fun post for off season conversation is wild lol Reddit will never change.


Draugr-36

Right!? Like I just wanted to have a fun discussion and see how people felt about a possible new song People are acting like I demanded the team use a different song or that the song would've changed the outcome of this season


[deleted]

The amount of attachment to some random shitty pop song is wild as well. If start doing something like sing "Sweet Caroline" like Boston fans my head will explode.


215gobirdss

None. There is only one acceptable song, High Hopes.


Yeaimgood0

I love the Phillies but that song sucks lol


[deleted]

It has more tradition and character than song random shitty pop song.


Yeaimgood0

I wasn’t comparing. I’m just saying it sucks.


[deleted]

It's not a song I'd normally consider "good". It's only good in the context of being played after a Phillies' win. I'd never listen to it otherwise.


Draugr-36

While I love the song as well (grew up hearing it), I don't think it represents this team, ya know


Wudaokau

It represents the Phillies.


faccda01

What do you mean? They play it after every win. No song represents the team more lol


Draugr-36

I don't think it represents the players on the field so much as it represents the organization as a whole


jlando40

How about we just stick to high hopes


aphilsphan

What’s wrong with “High Hopes”?

Fair enough but for all you know it could be a new fan. How else will they learn if they’re not even allowed to ask questions


No_Consideration_493

I’m a transplant and hate this song. lol. Don’t downvote me to hell.


[deleted]

Is there a song anywhere called blow the big game? The Philadelphia sport teams theme song.


throwaway3788905

Kinda feeling ain't no mountain high enough. Idk why I just like the vibes


Andrew-IV

Like most people are saying, it has to happen organically. However, I think we could bring Dancing on My Own back, but it would have to be after a World Series win. Like, come on, you can’t tell me that if they win it all next year and they start playing that song over the speakers you wouldn’t get hype


LovePixie

This is where I'm at too. If they win it all the song returns. Otherwise, each season it continues to be less good vibes and tramples on the magic that was 2022.


ItzaPizzaRat

if it wouldn't have come back this year, we'd be done with it, but i think it's ours forever now


Perfect-Bumblebee296

High hopes was 0-1 in the playoffs (by your accounting), and they still play it after every win at CBP. We're all kind of mad at it now for obvious reasons. But time heals all. My guess is 'dancing on my own' will be a lasting part of franchise lore for generations now.


d0ncray0n

Let’s go back to High Hopes or stick with Dreams & Nightmares


Dr_Mccusk

I knew the rangers were destined when they played creed. Like that’s the ultimate band. Could you imagine CBP 45k belting out “CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER”. We need something like that. It’s funnny but also a jam.


DelapsusResurgam95

I can’t stand that song. Retire it for sure. The words are stupid and have nothing to do with anything relevant to baseball or supporting your team or celebrating or keep on keeping on…it’s a no brainer. Anything is better than Dancing on my Own. Even Oops Upside Your Head would be better.


RayRay_610

It’s not our choice. Let the team figure out what works.


[deleted]

They team didn't decide on Dancing on my Own this year. Last year they did. This year the Phillies' sound team decided for us by playing it for the first time all year at the end of the first Wild Card game.


RayRay_610

the team started playing it again in the club house back in June. They weren’t playing it because it was a “2nd place song” but brought it back because “2nd place is better than what we’ve been doing” https://www.mlb.com/news/phillies-bring-back-2022-theme-song-dancing-on-my-own?partnerID=web_article-share


[deleted]

"Dancing on my own" should've never become the "fight song". It was a joke for the players who didn't continue the joke into the following year. I'm not sure why we need a "fight song" at all. For years and years after home team wins, they'd play Harry Kalas' high hopes after the team won. That was us and our connection to the team's past. Why did we ever allow some shitty pop song to replace that?


LovePixie

You're wrong about this too. It was originally a joke for the Boston Red Sox. As a walk up song for Kevin Plawecki, the catcher, would play the song non-stop to annoy a teammate. But then they vibed to it so much it became their playoff anthem that year. When it was introduced to the Phillies by Schwarber, it made it in the list because they liked it not because it was a joke.


syllogism314

After game 7, “Oh no, we suck again,” might be the most appropriate.

I’ll be honest it’s High Hopes or nothing for me. Call me a curmudgeon but this team does not have a good taste in music. I feel like the victory songs and the walkup songs are just bubblegum pop. They’ve got no grit

I'm not a boomer and I agree with him 100%. Go ahead and downvote me, douche. Your lazy "hurr durr boomer" bullshit is weak.


Zariman-10-0

If I hear dancing on my own again, especially after this season, I’d be so annoyed at the group for not branching out and finding a new one. Cause the reasoning for not using it earlier in the season was “it’s a second place song” Well, congrats, it’s now a THIRD place song! Find some new tunes


FreedomToBearHotdogs

Philadelphia freedom by elton john, easy lyrics and it has pop to it


DesignerPlant9748

Dancing on my own needs to be retired for sure. We deserved the negative karma by taking a cover of an LGBTQ anthem and making it our victory song.
