Just a thought-we could combine this idea with the lyrics thread.
For example:
Ted Lilly’s theme song could be Invincible by OK Go
“When they finally come to destroy the earth they’ll have to deal with you first
And my money says they won’t know about the 1000-Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
Invincible oh oh oh”
The Gatorade machine could be “Hit me with your best shot! Fire away!” -Pat Benatar
Ann Ladd (Uecker’s stalker)- “I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me” – Lady Gaga
"Fasten those seatbelts"-Pat Hughes
I think Teds should be Secret Agent Man...
- Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
- Germans?
- Forget it, he's rolling.

Actually, Ted Lilly does have a song.
It’s called Ted Lilly by The Chicago Sports Band:
Well, Ted Lilly was tired of Toronto
He headed on over to Chicago, he said he wanted a change of scenery, and each and every Cubs fan said, "that’s just fine with me".
Now in Wrigley Field, people sit with a grin, ‘cause you know Lilly’s gonna getcha fifteen wins. He’ll do what he’s done since the very beginning, give his team a chance to win while eating up innings.
Ted Lilly, you fit right in here in Chicago, Ted Lilly, Chicago is your kinda tooown, your kinda town.
Every fifth day, you give those Cubbies a chance!
