1986 The Mets had hit the wall Would never win at all They lost everyday In almost every way Then the mid-80’s came And away went the shame Doc and Straw were dandy Before the nose candy Mex solidified the infield Sid made opponents pop up Nails would taunt other teams Mitchell would bat sans his cup But there was one thing more That ensured they would score Not Wally or Tuefel I’m talking ‘Curly Shuffle’ When they reached the ninth inning Tied, losing or winning On the scoreboard they would show Curly Larry also Moe They noogied and knocked heads Like Ray Knight punching the Reds It was great to have last licks In 19, 19, 1986 (1986) Now ’86 is classic Every game was great Game 6 against the Red Sox Mets were a team of fate Was no pennant race Never let go of first place Buckner at first base Knocked the smile right off of Clemens face Where is George Foster? In the dugout Didn’t back up his team Stayed back on the bench to pout Who selected Curly For a rally? Whatever happened to Network, Belushi (On the scoreboard then was) The Curly Shuffle Mets in a bar scuffle Orosco in the outfield The visiting team’s fate was sealed As hot as Dynasty Wish they had resigned Rusty Amazin’s swung the big sticks In 19, 19, 1986 I hate time make it stop Because 5 years later our team would flop (Team would flop) And when did Gooden become a Yankee? Please make this stop, Stop! Stop! And bring back The Curly Shuffle Doc ate ‘magic’ truffles When I now see a noogie I smile and think of the trophy When the Mets came of age That dumb dance was all the rage New York Mets Cashen did fix In 1986 We had The Curly Shuffle It rivaled Tim Teufel’s It didn’t last long enough Like roles for Sabrina LaBouef That Met team was gritty Different time, different city That team would never sell bricks In 19, 19, 1986

I like how we even both referenced the "Network" clip.

AG/DC Jan 29 2008 07:05 PM

Yeah, that's kind of scary. I expected sooner or later the same subject to lead to the same song, but I can't see how you both got to the bush-league Network clip.

soupcan Jan 29 2008 08:44 PM

Hey man, Peter Finch got an Oscar for that.

AG/DC Jan 29 2008 09:17 PM

Network isn't bush league. Abusing it on ballpark scoreboards is.

Gwreck Jan 29 2008 10:21 PM

Eh. Abuse seems to be a bit much, and it's really one of the few original things the Mets do with their scoreboards. It's oodles better than a lot of the crap they've used in recent years.

AG/DC Jan 30 2008 07:20 AM

I saw it in at least two bush league parks before I ever saw it at Shea.

sharpie Jan 30 2008 11:25 AM

At 1:25 pm, Soupcan wins 11-9.

Willets Point Jan 30 2008 11:28 AM

I think we should appeal this to the Supreme Court.

soupcan Jan 30 2008 11:32 AM

Yeah - this kinda doesn't feel right.

seawolf17 Jan 30 2008 12:08 PM

Should we do a tiebreaker runoff, with new songs and everything?

sharpie Jan 30 2008 12:46 PM

All I care about is that we don't have to vote on these same two songs a third time.

AG/DC Jan 30 2008 12:49 PM

If they're amenable, and it sounds like they are, let them draw a a new topic and go at it again. Let's get the rest of the second round killed.

sharpie Jan 30 2008 12:50 PM

I'm just a-waitin' on Gwreck.

soupcan Jan 30 2008 12:50 PM
