Team Theme Song

MFS62 Oct 19 2005 12:05 PM

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

Yancy Street Gang Oct 19 2005 12:24 PM

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

ScarletKnight41 Oct 19 2005 12:27 PM

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

metirish Oct 19 2005 12:27 PM

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

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 Oct 19 2005 12:37 PM

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 Oct 19 2005 12:56 PM

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. Later

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

Centerfield Oct 19 2005 01:23 PM

I liked the LA Woman Mets of 1999. And for the record, any team that uses Journey as a theme song deserves to lose.

Rotblatt Oct 19 2005 01:28 PM

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)?

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.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 19 2005 03:48 PM

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?

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

SwitchHitter Oct 19 2005 04:26 PM

Thanks, Soup. Maybe if I play it for her, my PiazzaFan will like the Mets again. Ugh, I need to fix my sig.

uh oh, the WWE guy is your daughter?

SwitchHitter Oct 19 2005 05:55 PM

No, that guy had a number after his name.

In honor of the Mets total .500 season -- Stuck In The Middle With You.

Rockin' Doc Oct 19 2005 09:54 PM

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.

Edgy DC Oct 19 2005 09:58 PM

Whoah, crappy.

seawolf17 Oct 19 2005 10:04 PM

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.)

ScarletKnight41 Oct 19 2005 10:15 PM

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 Oct 19 2005 10:41 PM

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

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

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

In 1986 I acquired my first rap album, Raisin' Hell by RUN-DMC. The title track totally captures the swagger of that championship team and still makes me think of the Mets when I hear it. Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings We're raisin' hell like a class when the lunchbell rings The king will be praying the hell will be raisin' S s s something tryin' to favour but it won't be failed But what's your name DMC the king is me You're ha! miss on his majesty Now kickin' the base ci ci ci concentrate But you can't entertain DMC's the great Dissin' all the devils brought in hotter than hell Our very high level base the devils shall yell Hotter than the hell is our sound supreme So clear the the ear it is sometimes seen So loud like a cloud with thunder and lightning So proud to the crowd and it's somewhat frightening And a cloud in a storm like it's this at least Take a stopping cause I'm rockin' can I see 'is Break You see it's harder than hard that one kid song Corageous and contageous so you better break off Now I call on a road did you hear me call Just listen what I'm dissing cause you're pissin' me off Cold bedding is spreading all across your face You can take when I'm rapping and that's the case I go on and on and kick the bass So back up overcome when I take my taste It's like a praise when the hell is raised So demeaning and commiting that you all stand dazed The unbelieving reseeing provecy's so true I got the head of the devil and I'm showing at you My mighty mic control already brought his soul The right king is a bowe when he rocks+n+roll A black cat is my rap simulizing a sag In the fire we're walkin' around Bustin' Rappin' and climbin' keep makin' every day No sympathize the sound so it sounds when I say I'm great gimme straight so that's my fate My name is Run I'm number 1 That's how I rate He's in the place with the bass and startin'grace His name is J he's here to play and with this plate He's off the wall on the ball his name is D Kind of tall get y'all he's down with me >From the mountain valley to the deep blue sea The word is heard as told by D I'm not sayin' I'm praying much to light Like a star shining bright in the darkest night If you are cold I bring you heat Like I brought the world my funky beat Mysterious is serious I ain't no joke Fire from the desert hell and you can smell the smoke Kickin' and dickin' while you're havin' a ball My chicken finger lickin' I'll be vickin' you off So do the bird have you heard they could give you a call Just me and DMC cold shakin' the wall There's no fearin' when here is I'm not this kind I cross the land every minute going out of his mouth On the face of the earth spreadin' like decease could terminating infotrading like a horde of beasts Throwin' out lyrics to a discussion Ruler of rap the king I go crushing Puller of people controller of crap LiGeLi lyrics all lasting and loud Left y'all ah to the left y'all because I'm rockin' upon the mic real def y'all And to the right y'all ah to the right y'all because I rock upon the mic all night y'all You see I walk respect and I correct Like all on the ball that I have checked And the shots they take have no effect The pope try to dope but he broke his neck Cause I rock harder than I get father You want a battle D hey please don't bother To waste your time measure with my rap The only kick you get out of is sittin' behind
