Please, Save The Washington Nationals From Themselves (Musically)

There's a lot of planning that goes into a new stadium. "Can we break the $10 barrier on the price of nachos?" "Where do we locate the hot dog topping station?" "How much extra security do we need for Bat Night?" In order to focus on those pressing issues, the Washington Nationals have passed the buck to you, Internet user, to pick the various songs played loudly while certain events are occurring. However, the problem is, many of the songs you have to choose from are AWFUL.

First up, the home run anthem. The options are:

Because We Can by Fatboy Slim
Bustin Loose by Chuck Brown
Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation
Off We Go (Air Force Theme) by Robert Crawford
Song 2 (Woo Hoo) by Blur

I don't even want to think about the Air Force theme option, but really, do sports fans need another opportunity to hear this?:

Go now, and vote for Chuck Brown. It's the logical choice, since he's actually from DC, and the song is actually good.

In fact, why can't the entire ballgame feature a go-go theme? At very least, when C.C. Sabathia visits town, they could thrown on EU's "Da Butt".
