Dodgers DJ Picks 5 Best Walk-Up Songs of All Time
When it comes to creating the electric atmosphere at Dodger Stadium, DJ Severe plays a key role.
As the team’s official DJ, his work in the sound booth is integral to the fan experience.
Dodgers Nation’s Noel Sanchez sat down with DJ Severe for a wide-ranging interview, including his ranking of the top five Dodgers walk-up songs.
Check out his ranking below and be sure to watch the full interview above.
5. Adrian Gonzalez – “El Mariachi Loco”
Starting off, DJ Severe picked a walk-up song that the player may not have been a big fan of.
“I’m not going to say he hated it, but he didn’t like it that much,” DJ Severe said.
Despite Gonzalez’s feelings, the “crowd feel” for that song means it makes DJ Severe’s list.
4. Freddie Freeman – “Baila Conmigo”
DJ Severe was full of praise for the “really iconic” song used by Freeman, though he noted that a song alone isn’t enough. It also depends on how the crowd reacts to the player who picked it.
“The crowd gets into it and they know it’s your song and it comes with such an iconic player,” he said.
3. Shohei Ohtani – “Feeling Good”
Similarly, Ohtani’s selection of a Michael Buble song has ingrained itself in the fanbase.
“If you’re not paying attention and you hear the song, you know something is about to happen,” DJ Severe said. “Plus, it’s the anticipation of something about to happen.”
2. Kiké Hernández – “La Leche Materna”
The Dodgers fan favorite is on this list for a simple reason, DJ Severe said.
“It says ‘Kiké,'” DJ Severe said. “Everybody loves to hear ‘Kiké, Kiké, Kiké.'”
1. Andre Ethier – “Tres Delinquentes”
Ethier gets credit for picking a popular song when custom walk-up songs were first growing in popularity, DJ Severe said.
It also helps that he produced on the field.
“You have to have really been a fan for a long time to know what ‘Tres Delinquentes’ did and how long he had it,” DJ Severe said. “Andre was Mr. Clutch, and for that song to come on before he’d always go out and produce … Like I said, you’d have to be around here for a long time to know the iconicness of that song. You had to be there.”
