Team Theme Song

[MFS62]

The White Sox have picked "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey (1981) for their team song for the rest of the playoffs.

What popular song title "says it to you" for the Mets?

Later

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Meet the Mets

I think that's all the theme song we need.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Let's Go Mets Go.

Yeah, it's silly. But it always brings back 1986 for me.

[metirish]

I'm stealing this from Bill Clinton..

Don't Stop
Fleetwood Mac


If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it take just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't you look back
Don't you look back

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Indeed, Yancy. Adopting theme songs is for teams that don't have their own.

Speaking of which, anyone got a link to where I can hear Meet the Mets?

[HahnSolo]

Meet the Mets. But the original of course, not the later, more PC version.

And if there were an official Mets soundtrack, The Curly Shuffle would have to find a place on it.

God, how lame do you have to be to have a Journey song be your anthem?

[MFS62]

This isn't the official team song. It is the song the players (led by AJ Pierzynski) blare in the clubhouse. The first of these I remember was when the Pirate players of the Willie Stargell era used to play "We Are Famileee" by Sister Sledge.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I suppose "who let the dogs out" was the Met players song back in 2000.

[Centerfield]

I liked the LA Woman Mets of 1999.

And for the record, any team that uses Journey as a theme song deserves to lose.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I like this game. I mean, of course it's Meet the Mets, but is there a particular song that encapsulates the Mets 2005 season? How about individual players?

Perhaps "Ride My See-Saw" by the Moody Blues for the Mets 2005?

For A-Rod: "Common People" (Pulp, featuring William Shatner)?

[Guest Rotblatt]

For Petey, maybe a little Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, courtesy of Handsome Boy Modeling School:

Magnetizing

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

It is pretty funny to imagine a bunch of grown men returning to the clubhouse all jacked up after a big win, turning up the speakers as loud as they can go, and acting all silly to the sounds of Meet the Mets.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the street
Where do they go?
To meet the Mets!

Can lyrics be more rockin' than that?

[soupcan]

For Annie/Switch Hitter:

Meet The Mets original multi-verse version

Don't say I never did nuthin' for ya...

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

just think what could have been hadLeiter not taken offense when Kazmir turned off the 1962 version in favor of the Meet the Mets (90�s version) � by the Alphabet City All-Stars

[Guest SwitchHitter]

Thanks, Soup. Maybe if I play it for her, my PiazzaFan will like the Mets again.

Ugh, I need to fix my sig.

[Guest cooby]

uh oh, the WWE guy is your daughter?

[Guest SwitchHitter]

No, that guy had a number after his name.

[Guest cooby]

Whew!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

="Yancy Street Gang"]Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the street Where do they go? To meet the Mets! Can lyrics be more rockin' than that?

I really loved the ecumenical version that Edgy came up with a couple of years ago. How did that go again?

[Theoldmole]

In honor of the Mets total .500 season --

Stuck In The Middle With You.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

HahnSolo - "God, how lame do you have to be to have a Journey song be your anthem?"

Hell, if meant the Mets had made it to the World Series, I wouldn't care if they used a freakin' Celine Dion song as the team anthem.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Whoah, crappy.

[seawolf17]

Dear God, Edgy, that's awful.

(In case you don't want to know, it's a bad Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca" parody featuring Mets lyrics from 2000.)

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I've always had a soft spot for Livin La Vida Loca. MK was a very late talker (although you'd never know that to talk with him now), and that was one of the first songs he would sing along with as a toddler.

That said, it doesn't hold a candle to Who Let the Mets Out?

[metirish]

WOW, that song was awful Edgy but quite funny, I'm wondering why I never heard it in 2000....

[Elster88]

Elster88 is not nearly creative enough to participate in this contest. But he can't wait to read and vote.

I think it's quite clear why you never heard it.

[Guest cooby]

My Mets theme song is "Feeling Stronger Every Day", and it has been since 1973, when that song was current and seemed to fit right in with their pennant drive. I never hear that song without thinking of that season -- my favorite.


Feelin' Stronger Every Day
- Columbia Single #4-45880 (June 5, 1973)
- Hot 100 Chart Position #10
