Does Greenville's stadium DJ have the "Drive" to play the Cars?

Besides being the name of the Cars' highest charting hit, "Drive" is the name of Greenville's minor league baseball team.

Does the jock at the Drive's stadium play "Drive" at every game?

(who vacationed in Charleston 2 Octobers ago, walked past the RiverDogs' ballpark, and has never been any closer to the Upcountry than Santee)

P.S. Good luck to the Drive in the Sally League playoffs.

Why would he? It's the slowest of all the Cars hits, and woudl put the fans to sleep. Just because it shares a name with the franchise, doesn't mean it's a good idea to play it at games.

It's more "sappy love song" than "ballyard rocker."
NTTAWWT, just wouldn't work at a ballgame, unless it's the last inning of "Hookup/Date Night" and people are pairing up like lastcall at a bar or something like that.

 

[Hoffa]

With lyrics like these and a tempo reserved for funerals, give me one reason why he would play that at a game?

Drive - The Cars

Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.

You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong, whoa ho...,
Who's gonna drive you home,
tonight.?

Who's gonna pick you up,
When You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothings wrong, whoa ho...,
(who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)

(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)

Who's gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around,
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong, whoa ho...,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)

Ho..., you know you can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(Who's gonna drive you home)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)

the up side is that the crowd would be depressed and alcohol sales would increase.

 

[quadraphonic]

Come to think of it, they never play it on 96.5 The Drive in Fayetteville, NC, either!
Of course, it's more of a classic rocky station. They don't play Delilah.
That song gets NO RESPECT!

ROLMFAO (but you're right.)

The name. What else? I believe it's called a pun. Now if they were called the Greenville Let's Gos...
