The final song on my Walk Up Mixtape belongs to a fictional character. Yes, I’m talking about Ricky Vaughn of the classic film “Major League”.
Every time the film comes on and Vaughn makes his final appearance, I still get goosebumps. It’s just so perfect.
You’d have to imagine that every walk-up song after that drew inspiration from Ricky Vaughn. It almost feels like a WWE match, when a wrestler makes a surprise entrance and his/her theme song blares through the arena speakers.
There’s nothing more exciting.
To recap, here’s a list of all of the songs in my Walk Up Mixtape in no particular order:
- “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” by Will Smith
- “Hells Bells” by ACDC
- “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent
- “Enter Sandman” by Metallica
- “Game of Thrones Theme Song” by Ramin Djawadi
- “Notorious B.I.G.” by Notorious B.I.G.
- “The Brady Bunch” theme song
- “Wild Thing” by X
