Dirty Exclusive World Premiere: Barry Zito’s Hit Song “A Mans Gotta Do What A Mans Gotta Do”
**Update to the Update- “Greetings from the real writing world. I am a beat writer for one of the MLB teams and I just wanted to drop you a line. Our clubhouse is buzzing about the new Zito track that just dropped. Word around the league is that Zito is the new Jack Johnson. Tell him we all wish him the best with his new endeavor.”
**Update- “Zito is pissed and trying to find out who put that song out there. His publicist is going crazy!”

Barry Zito is trying SO HARD to be Hollywood and is obsessed with John Mayer. He is as serious as a heart attack in this song. He recorded this as his Demo (got leaked to me from studio) and thinks he has a shot at becoming a huge singer. I don’t understand why he just can’t stick to doing what he does best- ripping off the Giants.
DIRTY ARMY, please let Barry know your thoughts on his beautiful voice.









I really like your blog and i respect your work. I’ll be a frequent visitor.
OK staff……
well, at least his pitching has been ok, if he needs to sing crap to get his fastball over 86 mph then by all means…the guy is making big league money, so we cant punk him on 30k milli status
WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT?!
ITS DOG $HIT
yikes.
His publicist should be pissed, I would be too if I had to hear that BS.
Gay and weak….nuff said.
The profound lyrics of an athlete…I can finally go to bed content, now knowing the meaning of life – “A Man’s Gotta Do What a Man’s Gotta Do”.
i think the worst part is …. i will never get those 4 mins of my life back !
Sounded like Mark Wahlberg in Boogies Nights. “Feel feel feel feel my heat!”
Can I borrow a feeling?
You rock, Barry!
There’s plenty of crap already out there by so-called “professional” singers just as bad as this – so it’s no surprise this was made. Just like they do for Britney or Ashley, they can clean it up in the studio – this is obviously a raw take. The thing that perplexes me the most are the lyrics – what the hell is he singing about?
That sucked and he looks as queer as a 3 dolla bill!
LOL
ONe question does a man have to do what a mans gotta do?
Even with auto tune on the vocals he is still out of key.
FAIL!
This is so bad I kicked my dog.
I’d still bang him. Of course being a baseball player I’d make sure he put on ten condoms.
i rather listen to 20 cats in heat for 6 hours than hear that song again. “zito, your f*&king fired!”
Who lied to him and let him even get to the point of recording a demo?
WTF was that, and why? I had to push stop and go back to listening to my kids fighting!!! I hope opposing ballparks play that when he walks out to the mound. Not sure what he is going to do with this song…If I was Barry, I would start working on another pitch!!! His music career sucks…
Zito in the studio:
Okay, now you’re talking above my head. I don’t know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can’t get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That f*cking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don’t own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they’re waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like *ssholes, man.
Just like his pitching, and his hobby, it sucks.
SUCKS
amazing, this guy is so freaking talented. Its sad to see all these jealous haters who have never had a date in their lives!!!!
Just Horrible! dont quit your day job
I was in the biz for 12 years, I never heard anything as bad as that! My dog ran and hid under the bed, it was so bad. Hang it up Zito!!!!
I like it. it sounds really good
Is this a joke?
i loved it…been singing this crap all day in my head…..
It is hard to get out of one’s head. I’m sure when he came up with the melody for the chorus, he said, “No one will forget this!” so he repeated it a buncha times. That said, it needs development, And some effects on vocals to smooth it out. Hey, if I wrote a song demo, it wouldn’t be any better than that, props for him having the nerve to record it.
junk
Lol. It does REALLY suck.
just lost some wood.
BRIAN: Please accept that you are not meant to be a singer…..I am embarrassed for you.
Someone hit this dude with a car please.
Sorry my bad…I’ll remember to remove the cock from my mouth next time I sing.
Too bad his name isn’t Brian.
That was absolutely horrific. The beat was awful, his lyrics were gay and repetitive, and his voice sounded like crap! Nothing was in sync!! I almost threw up, and my ears almost bled! What the hell was the point of it? Was he drunk? High? Post getting it on with Brian Wilson?
I forgot to say that that crap is stuck in my fvcking head.
I like it. Smooth and jazzy!
hahha can we please play this song next time he pitches at coors?
sad thing is its better than his pitching
very Michael Franks like. Great song and good vocals
now he sucks at two things. the mfr’s signs the big contract with my beloved giants and then embarasses both himself and the giants. kind of reminds you of livan hernandez. wins mvp in the playoffs for the marlins. comes to the giants, signs a big contract with the giants AND GETS FAT LIKE A [removed]. then loses confidence in throwing a fastball and just flat SUCKS. go back to cuba you freaking loser.
Saddam Hussein could have used this on the Kurds.
With all his $$$ couldn’t he find someone to digitally re-work his vocals … Then hire someone to write him a decent song.

My rating: Blows chunks.
I think about now The Beatles are shaking in there boots from the brilliance of this man. I cried when I heard how touching this song is.
so now on top of him throwing hanging curveballs, he records a song that makes him sound gay. This is gonna be a disaster in the clubhouse!
this is one of the best songs i have ever heard. i can listen to this over and over and over and over. awsome song
chaz you are gay man admit it
awsome song. i can listen to it over and over and over and over
It sounds like a vocal scratch track to me…I didn’t listen all the way (for obvious reason) but with the mix and “sound” of the voice, it doesn’t sound like it is completed…I dunno…
OMG! You have got to be kidding me!?! If he actually listened to his own demo, he would “demo… lish” it and forget any dream or idea that he can actually sing. In fact, I think Nik needs to go the extra mile for this guy and get him on either American Idol or America’s Got Talent so the ENTIRE WORLD can laugh at his dumb ass!
He is yummy
If he’s pitchin’ Ima catchin’!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Giants….does he sing in the bull pen….I gotta look into those seats!
OMG He’s a genius!
great lyrics…
Awe. Poor thing. Someone told him he has talent. Too bad they were just trying not to hurt his feelngs. HE SUCKS!!
EPIC FAIL
Tone is flat at times
Guitar playing not to bad
Song needs work
Potential
he wasnt bad it actually sounded good, if it was Karaoke night down at the bar
that is funnist f’n thing i have ever heard. i couldnt make it past 30 seconds i was laughing so hard. is this real? first of all he is terrible, secondly that song is the gayest thing i have ever heard. i think Carl Lewis had a better shot at a singing career than Zito
It’s not THAT bad. I’m a musician and believe me, I’ve heard worse attempts. I’m pretty sure most people saying its the worst thing they’ve ever heard just hate him in general. I have no clue who he is so I’m unbiased. It’s not THAT bad. He’s kind of off key at points but with some training he would be alright.
i like it
