I'm in San Juan--yes, I miss the Mets by a week--and I saw this warning at the bottom of a menu at a local restaurant: "To eat rare mets is detrimental to your health."

Eat the Mets Eat the Mets Step right up and eat the Mets (ok, that was bad ... I'm tired)

Oh, I know this one. Eat the Mets! Eat the Mets! Chew, digest, excrete the Mets! José with salsa! Wright with chives! Players and coaches! Trainers and wives! Because our young Mets, ex-Mets are tastey as hell! You're really hungry? Then dine on Heath Bell! Deep fried! Mince pied! Dessens or Delgado or Rick Down! Come and eat the M.E.T.S., Mets! Of New York town!

Funniest song about cannibalism ever.

I think there may have been another on by Tom Lehrer. (I hold You Hand In Mine - ???) But I don't recall if it was just gruesome or about cannibalism. Later

The first thing I thought of was Total Coelho. The second was Shriekback.

And yet the Fine Young Cannibals never had a hit within this genre. They may have missed out on a good thing.

I guess Sheb Wooley's 1958 hit about the one-eyed, one-horned 'Flying Purple People Eater' doesn't really fit in this category as it's unclear whether the eater is actually a human - y'know, with the one eye/one horn thing going on and all, plus the part about being able to fly.

Oh no old man. That fits perfectly.
