Batter Up (Single)

Batter Up is a single by The Infection and the first track off of The New Settlement III.

Music Video
The video opens with SpongeBob sitting near his window, head down on the table he's sitting at, the video cuts back and forth between Mike playing the acoustic guitar and singing, albeit with a much different tone than "True Love Will Find You In The End"

SpongeBob starts reminiscing and the video shows live clips, including ones from pre-1993, many of them including Sandy doing something ridiculous or adding to the show in one way or another. SpongeBob goes to get Sandy's ashes from his room and puts his arms around them, the video cuts back to live clips and ends with SpongeBob's head down, in a pool of his own tears, still cradling Sandy's ashes. As the camera pans down on his face, you can see him mouthing "I don't want to die."

Song description
The song was done completely by Mike, despite SpongeBob being the star of the video and is almost completely acoustic. This version is much shorter than the album version, with the two minutes of feedback at the end being cut off.

Trivia
