So the Mets held their stupid contest to see which song would be sung during the 8th inning.
And the winner is..."Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
Fark.com pushed its readers to cast write-in votes for the song.
The Mets said the song doesn't reflect the wishes of their fan base so they're going to play 6 songs during the first 6 games of the season, and they'll pick the permanent song based on crowd reaction.
They were supposed to give "Never Gonna Give You Up" its chance during the 8th inning of the home opener.
Can anyone who was there confirm this?
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.
They played it! The PA announcer referred to the Rick Roll before the song went off..
ReplyDeleteThey definitely did play it...
ReplyDeleteIt came at the absolute worst time, after the 7th inning fiasco.
Mets fans were not receptive to anything at that point.
Oh how memorable...The final opening day at Shea stadium with 55,601 fans getting Rick Rolled....
