"Our Team, Our Time"

[Gwreck]

It's the new Mets "song!"

(Link is available on Mets.com). This one is pretty bad.

[metirish]

Damn, I don't have a sound card at my work PC, I bet I'm really missing out.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I guess I'll hear it sooner or later.

The only Mets song we need is Meet the Mets.

[Guest GYC]

I think I'm going to kill myself.

[nymr83]

this is worse than "who let the dogs out" was back in 2000.

[Gwreck]

New York Mets!
Our team, our time
New York Mets!
Our team, our time
Our team, our time

We get the hits, hits!
We score the runs, runs!
We shut you down, down
We're number one...one...one

New York Mets!
Our team, our time
New York Mets!
Our team, our time
New York Mets!
Our team, our time
New York Mets!
Our team, our time
Our team, our time

Pedro Martinez will strike you out
Billy Wagner coming through, he's throwing heat, no doubt
David Wright, Jose Reyes makin' sure you're not safe
Just in case, Carlos Delgado, he's at first base

Cliff Floyd, Carlos Beltran, playin' the outfield
Come to Shea Stadium, our team's the real deal

New York Mets!
Our team, our time
New York Mets!
Our team, our time
Our team, our time

[Guest OlerudOwned]

This tops "Someone Stole John Leguizamo's Tickets!"

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

We wrote dozens of better songs in this forum a few months ago.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's seriously old school, but the lyrics are offaly awful --- weaker than the "Get Metsmerized" lyrics. And it doesn't have any vocal solo by Teufel.

It's no "Chocolate Strawberry," that's for sure. Now there was a song.

I'm going to submit one of my own.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Here you're talking trash to your opponents:

Pedro Martinez will strike you out
Billy Wagner coming through, he's throwing heat, no doubt
David Wright, Jose Reyes makin' sure you're not safe
Just in case, Carlos Delgado, he's at first base

But here you're inviting the fans:

Cliff Floyd, Carlos Beltran, playin' the outfield
Come to Shea Stadium, our team's the real deal

I'm no songwriter (although I did win a championship!) but isn't it best to have a consistent voice?

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

They should just replay Lets Go Mets Go!

Perfect song that is "timeless" (SC=1986) since there are no specific references

And it would tie in with 1986 homages going on all year long

[Guest mlbaseballtalk]

Of course just KEEP the vintage Meet The Mets!

And while we are talking about independant songs used at NY ballparks, lets loose that "Riding On A Subway" song for Shea. Somehow I think the author was thinking more of Yankee Stadium with the lyrics "The Stadium's gonna rock tonight as we make history" When has Shea ever been refered to as "The Stadium" and when does anyone ever say "Yeah I'm going to Yankee" when referring to Yankee Stadium

Just my .02 anyway

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ugh, according to the press release, it's going to be played at Shea this season (starting tonight).

They couldn't have found a more ethical version of mass torture?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I protest. And my e-mail will reflect that.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

OMG - it's worse than Let's Get Metsmerized!

[seawolf17]

Yeah, that's awful. Yikes.

[Willets Point]

Seawolf, what's the little crocodile dude have to do with Yoshii?

[Guest SI Metman]

My ears are bleeding. I promise to eat my vegetables if you stop playing the song.

[Lundy]

I dunno...it's alright, there have been worse. I don't think it's as bad as some of you are saying.

It's got a beat, you can dance to it...

Its bad because they had to do a press release on Mets.Com for it, its bad because it will be heard AD NAUSEM throughout the year

Yes it does have a beat, but it sounds like a parody song that someone at a local radio station would whip up to a well known song's beat

In other words, for all the press that they are giving it (okay so far just the WebSite and at Shea, but this seems like part of the 2006 marketing campaign), it sounds like something cooked up in 30 seconds to be a fun bumper or parody piece on a local radio station

The Doc can DANCE?!?!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

The culprit seems to be the guys who wrote "Now that's Hip" and this guy:

[Guest SI Metman]

You mean it wasn't Kevin Federline?

UGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!

Now thats NOT HIP!

No wonder like I said it sounded like something cooked together for a local radio parody bit

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think we need to bombard the Mets offices to reject this thing.

Mets debut new team song
BY NEIL BEST
Newsday Staff Writer
April 18, 2006

A new song for the Mets?

As any long-time fan knows, that is potential sacrilege, for "Meet the Mets" forever will be regarded as the official anthem of the Amazin's.

Thomas Scandaliato understands that, even if he co-wrote the new song in question, "Our Team. Our Time," which was to debut before last night's game against the Atlanta Braves at Shea Stadium.

"I love 'Meet the Mets!'" he said yesterday from the offices of TJS Marketing Group in Smithtown, an advertising agency of which he is president. "Are you kidding? If I replaced that, I'd be shot."

"Our Team. Our Time" echoes the Mets' marketing slogan for this season and repeats the title phrase in its lyrics no fewer than 11 times.

Its hip-hop beat makes it a tad more contemporary than "Meet the Mets," in which fans are encouraged to "bring your kiddies" and "bring your wife."

Scandaliato wrote the song unsolicited, collaborating with friend Steven (Boogie) Brown of Breakthru productions in Orange, N.J. They had a free-lance artist named Aghi record it then presented it to the Mets. They liked it.

"It was fans inspired to express their excitement in a song about this year's team, and we thought it was a pretty good effort," said Dave Howard, the Mets' executive vice president of business operations. "It was a pretty cool song."

The new song will be played periodically before or during games, and eventually will be made into a video that can be shown on the scoreboard. It could eventually catch on the way "Let's Go Mets" did for the 1986 championship team. But it never will replace "Meet the Mets."

Said Howard: "That's the original, the classic, the timeless theme song."

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

They went to an advertising agency in Smithtown?

I'll at least give them credit for that.

[metirish]

] You mean it wasn't Kevin Federline?

It's now just K-Fed, cool huh?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I was singing "Let's Go Mets Go" in my head this morning and Randy Newman's "I Love LA" kept interrupting it.

I think they're the same song.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Needs more base.

[Centerfield]

I always liked "Bring it Home Mets". I think it was the theme on Channel 9 in 1986.
