FanHouse Rihanna

The Lakers are in full-on cruise control for an NBA Championship (and break the curse of 2002!) right now. Which would explain why rumors that Andrew Bynum is dating pop star Rihanna are surfacing all over the place.

But our sources have told us that they are NOT dating. And by "sources" I obviously mean "X17Online, via TMZ" who spoke to the Lakers superstar recently about their purported relationship.

As a rule, contrived theme songs are never, ever good. There are countless past examples worthy of citation, but let's not focus on the past. Let's look at the future. As in the immediate future. As in the Diamondbacks' new theme song, "D-Back Swing."

You can go here and listen to the mp3, which, trust me, is a treat. Or you can simply waft in this light bit of lyrical air. Go on, breathe it in:

Let's go ...
Three up, three down
Get the D-backs swingin' and take it downtown
Where it's ...

Going, going, going, gone!
It's outta here, boys, now bring it on home
It's a fact, Jack,
I back, you back, we back the D-backs!

OK, so it's not exactly "Subterranean Homesick Blues" -- hell, it's not even "Umbrella" -- but it gets the job done, right? Right?
