Sing-a-Long to These!

As explained by Matt Cerrone from Mets Blog, the Mets are considering a variety of new songs for the 8th inning sing-a-long to replace Sweet Caroline.  Among the suggestions up for vote are ‘I Like it Like That’, ‘Shout’ (a personal favorite) and ‘Curly Shuffle.’

Here are my suggestions for some tunes that would be fantastic for the Citi Field atmosphere.  Some of these suggestions are serious, others . . .well, not so much. 

  • The Safety Dance, by Men Without Hats – just remember, “we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet and surprise them with a victory cry.” (If this song is played, the music video is a must as well)

            

  • In the Summertime, by Mungo Jerry – I just listen to this song and think of a day game in July.

             

  • America, by Neil Diamond – what says baseball like the United States of America?  Besides, this could set a wonderful precedent in which only Neil Diamond songs are allowed to be sung during sporting events.

  •  Rock the Casbah, by the Clash – amusing, exciting, American, and a fun chorus to sing-a-long with.

  • I personally think it's gotta be 'Shout.' That's my personal favorite out of all of them.

    I too think 'Shout' would be good - it meets all the criteria of being extremely exciting, easy to sing to - not to mention it being in an excellent comedy (Animal House).
  • None of the above.

    Play "Meet The Mets"

    It should have been a tradition already, might as well start now.

    Rock the Casbah American?

    Don't think so, mate.

    God save the Queen.

    BTW, How about 'You'll never walk alone,' as used by Liverpool and Celtic Football Clubs. Check it out on youtube if you doubt it.
