From Adam Rubin:
Rather than commit to that as the new eighth-inning tune since it probably doesn’t reflect the fan base’s wishes, the Mets will play the top six selections once apiece during the first six games of their home stand. The one that draws the largest crowd response will stick.I want Astley to win, without a doubt. It's an amazing song and it holds my sentiments about the Mets. Through thick or thin, I'm never going to give them up. (I can't believe I just wrote that.)The other songs that made the cut, in descending order: Livin’ on a Prayer, Bon Jovi; I’m a Believer, The Monkees; Movin’ Out, Billy Joel; Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond; and Build Me Up Buttercup, The Foundations.
The Mets suggested the Fark tune winning didn’t necessarily result in the runoff, saying the contest rules stipulated Internet voters would “help decide” the outcome.

This was a great song back in my day. I remember going to discotheques and dancing to this with voluptuous co-eds.
ReplyDeletethis... better... happen... we should buy out the stadium and give tickets out to digg users in the area so we can win it. andrew you should go and dress up as rick astley and dance. then we shall triumph!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou're just chock full of good ideas Doug.
you can give thanks to the rivals.com mainboard and supercity's army. it was their idea and they executed it to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThe Mets really need to go with Rick Astley on this one. He is never going to give you up, let you down, turn around and desert you. He is also never gonna make you cry, say goodbye, tell a lie and hurt you.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you guys 100%.
ReplyDeleteThis needs to happen.
if you buy me a ticket, ill fly out there and ill dance with you. hows that? i think keith would approve.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have a ticket to one game this year. :(
ReplyDeleteOf course he would. He'd dance too.
