I have to ask, and not that all of us haven't hummed the song all day in our heads after a night of clashes...
My Japanese collegue, who has never played RBI (soon to be corrected) recognized me humming it. He said it was a famous Japanese baseball song (figures) but he couldn't think of a title for it.
Does anyone know the title of our favorite song?
i have heard it in other baseball video games as well... must be a japanese league song. good question. looks like we need to go digging. anybody hip on the japanese league? or have a friend in japan who can help?
Has anyone heard it in a non-RBI game? Perhaps he meant he heard it in Family Stadium? It's a pretty popular car in Japan...
fun info on the japanese league (you don't need to download the japanese font)

Since when were we talking about Toyotas? And was Teddy's post supposed to have a link?
Hi there, 1st time poster. Love that there are many RBI fans in the world.
Anyway, isn't the "RBI theme" also in Bases Loaded and Baseball Stars? It has to be a Japanese league thing.
Welcome!
Whoops on the car, but I stand by my stupidity...
As for Bases Loaded and Baseball Stars, the theme music in the American versions is different than RBI. Not sure about the Japanese version, anyone know?

You have a copy of the music from Super Batter Up on the Media page; is that a descendant of the Family Stadium series?
RBI 2 and 3 don't have Japanese counterparts that I know of, and they don't have any version of the original music. The music in 3 is kinda catchy; the music in 2 is just plain weird.

Likely yes, see:

I think the song's name is "Dogs in the Bath Tub"
lyrics:
Dogs in the bath tub
My dogs in the bath tub
My dogs in the tub, boo ya
I got them nuts in the butt
got them nuts in the butt
nuts in the butt, nuts in the butt, boo - boo - boo ya
(Repeat)
Classic - rack 'em

Jim Rome sucks. I'll take the Dan Patrick show over Rome any day.
Everytime I turn to Rome (when DP Show on commercial, of course), there's a 10 second pause while he's "thinking" of the next thing he's going to repeat for the next 10 minutes.
just sing it out loud
it's catchy.
I started singing that song in my head while I was brushing my teeth, and proceeded to drool all over myself. Good job Ryno.

I know you are a first time poster and all, and I certainly don't want to discourage your contributions to RBI, but come on man, a little respect here for RBI, those other games can't hold a candle to the classic and their music cannot either
Bump, still trying to find the name of this song...
Damn it! I spent 20 minutes last night trying to find this thread to link to in the more recent one about this subject, but alas, I foolishly persisted in including the word "music" in my search terms. I finally convinced myself that I must have just imagined/dreamt it.
So nicely done Gantry. Do you think you're better than me?
A winner is whoever can come up with the name of the song...
I'm officially done searching since my search has led me to possibly the worst thread in the history of the internets, I cannot go on.

TRY IT FOR YOURSELFS! IT'S FUN AND IT WONT COST YOU NO MONEY!!!!!
I think MR. RBI posted that
I don't believe I have ever seen a worse grasp of the English language. How did this guy figure out how to turn his computer on?
QuoteIt conssisted of a guy who was a anounser I done forgot his name but what he would do is the folwing. He would come out and greet his audiense, and then he would say "Welcome to Name That Song. My name is and I forgot his name but then he said about the rules and what the rules was is that there was a band that would play a tune but the catch was that there weren't no singing to it. Just the melodi to a poplar song and so the people in the contest, called "contestints", were told to tell the name of the song. It was lots of fun and manys the time the man or the woman would make a lot of money hunderds of dollars sometimes if you was a ex-pert on musical apreeshacion.
Holy crap thanks Beef, I hadn't even read all of that part, I'm dying

sound it out, big fella....sound...it...out.
That's probably what he told himself when typing that paragraph.
Hey, was that TBT by any chance?

How had you not read that? It began the second paragraph of the page you linked to.
I couldn't handle reading it, I think I read the first sentence and gave up, if I knew it would be that humorous I would have read the entire paragraph
The mystery gets deeper

RBI Baseball
At the house I've still got an active Nintento, SNES, Playstation 1, and Playstation 2, along with my PC that has a couple of games on it. When watching College Baseball on ESPN earlier this year, I remembered watching the Texas game, which attracted my attention when their music played in the stadium was oddly familiar but I couldn't place it. Sure enough, it was the music from one of the first Nintendo games I ever owned... RBI Baseball. The game is ridiculously primitive now, but wow can I remember the intense battles back in Brookside playing that game with my old neighbors. I looked through my collection and found the original "BASEBALL" game, which was the first game I ever owned, and sure enough it still works, but I was looking for RBI Baseball. I found it finally, but it doesn't work, so I went online and found a ROM version and sure enough, I'm back in the game. What a fun game, although Dylan laughs at how old it is. If everything else can come back, why not the NES? I need to find Excitebike in the worst way.
I believe a Texas player had the RBI music being played when he batted (which is why this guy would have heard it while watching Texas play), there is a thread around, if you want to search for it.
Well, from what I found for the other thread (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=11575.0), the song's name might be コンバットマーチ (combat march, accoring to Google Translate).
That's actually in katakana. So it's literally pronounced, konbattoma^chi.
Gantry chiming in from the good brother's account...
Given the romanji RotJ listed, it's definintely called Combat March...
