Meet the Mets is the official song of the Mets. No Sweet Caroline and other songs allowed.
Basically, it’s between “Meet the Mets” and “Curly Shuffle”. Both songs were loved at Shea. None of the other choices (“This Land Is Your Land”? Please!) have a Mets feel to them. I would participate in a sing-along that gets me in a Mets mood. “Meet the Mets” is the obvious choice but I always loved “Curly Shuffle” during its 80’s heyday on DiamondVision. I wouldn’t mind singing “Hey Moe! Hey Moe!” again.
ummm…didn’t we already vote on this, and it was “I’m A Believer”? And then they switched it back to Sweet Caroline. Which, frankly, is hideous and lame, and furthers our image as a 2nd rate franchise because we’re stealing it from Boston. Weak, Weak, Weak.
At least I’m A Believer has kind of a Mets ring to it. But really, the rest of this list? Seriously? Is this the best we can do? (Curly Shuffle, despite it’s brief Met claim to fame, is best forgotten)
How about NO friggin’ 8th Inning Sing-A-Long. Lazy Mary in the 7th is singalong enough for me.
