LOS ANGELES -- The Brewers have a new soundtrack, and it is not “Roll Out the Barrel.”
Instead, a viral song from local rapper Foenem has taken over Milwaukee’s clubhouse during this World Series run, to the point where Trevor Megill was singing it in the NLCS-clinching clubhouse Thursday night.
“Ohhhhhhh Milwaukee Brewers!!!! Milwaukee Brewers!!!!”
he belted out. “I love that song!”
Foenem’s one-minute, 39-second track first hit TikTok on Oct. 4 and has since piled up 522,100 views and 56,800 likes. Six days later, he posted a music video on YouTube that was filmed outside American Family Field, and it has drawn more than 66,000 views.
Foenem, who has also made songs about the Milwaukee Central Library, Milwaukee County Zoo and Green Bay Packers, leans on high-pitched vocals over a hip-hop beat. The hook is relentless, with Milwaukee Brewers repeated 22 times, and the result is exactly what the Brewers say it is: hard to shake.
“We've seen it, and it's stuck in a few people's heads for sure,” DL Hall said. “We hear it probably eight to 10 times a day.”
Robert Gasser said he even searched for it on Apple Music, only to find it lodged in his head afterward.
“I looked it up on Apple Music as well, and then, it’s just stuck in my head,” Gasser said, after pitching five innings in NLCS Game 3. “It's catchy in a way, in its own way.
We're on the bus and we're listening to music. ‘Milwaukee Brewers!’”
The song only names two players, but both are big ones: NL Cy Young frontrunner Jacob Misiorowski and captain Christian Yelich.
Misiorowski said he only learned he was in it after being flooded with messages. The right-hander, a fan of country and rock music, said he knows the line and the repeated team name have become the song’s calling card in the clubhouse.
“My name's in it, and I know he says, 'the Milwaukee Brewers,' about a dozen times,” Misiorowski said. “That's all they play for the clubhouse, like the little quick snippet of the beginning.”
The tune has spread beyond one-off listens. In postgame interviews inside the clubhouse, players can be heard singing bits of it in the background. Sal Frelick said it has become the club’s unofficial anthem since the NL Division Series against the Padres.
“It's been as of late, last week I would say,” Frelick said, while denying he was the voice fans heard singing it earlier in the week.
The Brewers led the Majors with a franchise-record 103 wins in the regular season, then swept the Dodgers to reach the World Series for the first time in 44 years.
And whether the song is a joke, a nuisance or a genuine banger, Milwaukee is hoping Foenem’s hook holds up when the Fall Classic is over.

Brewers Face A World Series Rest Debate Fans Will Hate
Sweeping the NLCS put Milwaukee in the rare position of waiting rather than grinding, and now the Brewers are staring at a long stretch of idle time before the World Series begins. It will be their longest layoff since Spring Training and one of the longest such breaks since the League Championship Series expanded in 1985, the kind of pause that can feel like a reward right up until it starts to turn into a concern.
The history around this kind of rest is messy, with no simple answer for whether extra time helps or hurts once the Fall Classic arrives. Teams that have wrapped up early have had mixed results over the years, but the more recent pattern has leaned against the club coming in fresher, which gives Milwaukee an uncomfortable subplot heading into the biggest series of the season.

Brewers Just Proved Matt Arnolds Deadline Philosophy Can Win Big
The Brewers reached this point by doubling down on depth at the deadline, not by chasing the biggest name available. Matt Arnold and his front office stuck to a sustainable approach, adding multiple role players while keeping the bigger picture in mind, and the payoff showed up in the NLCS sweep of the Dodgers. Even with some of the incoming pieces not quite meeting expectations, Milwaukee found enough help in the bullpen and on the margins to keep extending its run in October.
JoJo Romero and Antonio Senzatela were part of that formula, the sort of lower-profile additions that can look ordinary in July and suddenly feel essential in a postseason series. It also helps explain why the Brewers resisted the temptation to swing for a single headline move and instead stayed committed to a plan built for more than one season. For a front office often measured by whether it would ever go all-in, this was a reminder that patient roster building can still lead to a very real payoff. [Read more 🡒]
Brewers Just Swept The Dodgers With More Still Left In Rotation
The Brewers sweep of the Dodgers came with a reminder that their path through the NLCS was not built on spotless starting pitching. Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson were serviceable enough to keep Milwaukee in position, but neither delivered the kind of clean, efficient outing a team usually wants from the front of a postseason rotation. Still, the Brewers got what mattered most: enough from those games to finish off Los Angeles and keep moving toward the World Series.
Misiorowski worked 4.1 innings and allowed one run, while Henderson gave up two earned runs over four innings, but the broader takeaway is what those starts suggest about Milwaukees depth. Even with two young arms not at their sharpest, the Brewers still found a way to sweep a powerhouse, which is why theres at least some cautious optimism around what could come next if the rotation tightens up even a little more.
