E22 The Lyric Boys Baseball Special
Manage episode 289236432 series 2811086
The Lyric Boys dive into ten iconic lyrics about baseball, the great American past-time. Spring is in the air. The smell of Cracker Jacks is in the air. The grunting sound of gigantic first basemen smacking home runs is in the air. So, it's time to play ball and listen to this comedic lyrical analysis.
The Lyric Boys chat about meeting the Mets, picking dandelions in right field, demanding to be taken out to the ballgame, the stereotype of first basemen having big butts, and more. There's a whole world of innuendo-filled baseball songs and The Lyric Boys talk about 'em all. And stick around until the end when The Lyric Boys improvise their own baseball lyrics.
