Miami Marlins Theme Song: Five Other Fan Odes to the Fish

via You Tube

Yesterday, Riptide found what seemed to be a theme song for the newly christened Miami Marlins. Sadly, we've since learned the song is unofficial, a passionate fan ode to the reborn franchise -- which makes the music much more endearing, and also more confusing. Who the hell takes the time to write and record a song about the Miami Marlins?

More people than you'd think. Check out five other would-be Marlins fan themes we dug up on YouTube.

5. "Miami Marlins Rap," By Ironwheels 199



Key lyric: "New unis fill the store, are anything but a bore; a new sleek logo with such bright colors."

Jack McKeon Old Man Awfulness Rating: Three and a half McKeons. To Jack's ears, this teenage Autotuned rap duo have their hearts in the right place. But their flow is sub-Sugarhill Gang, and Jack demands a tight rhyme.

4. "I'm a Florida Marlin," Marlinshood.com



Key lyric: "No disrespect to J.A. Happ, but I could give a fuck about that red Phillies cap."

Jack McKeon Old Man Awfulness Rating: Five McKeons. That's a hearing-aid destroying backbeat, kids. But Jack does give bonus points for Marlinshood.com's official logo (visible at the 1:12 mark) of an AK-47 in place of the jumping fish in the team logo.
