Better question is when will we stop singing it....
That song should be banned from every playlist!
Well, we could be singing Baby Shark. Is that what you want?Quote:

His wife looked at him in alarm, but she was also trying not to laugh.
We were requesting it from the band in 1970.... How times have changed.Quote:

Our friend did sweet caroline one time and we all popped up and laughed because we knew instantly what song he was singing. It was not a song we liked very much, lol.Quote:

Sometime in the mid 2000's, TD Smith suggested to me that we play it in the 8th inning. I wasn't a BoSox fan, so I had no idea it was a Boston thing. It caught on really quickly by a select few, while everyone else hated it. I tried killing it with no luck. Sorry y'all. :)Quote:

I hope you are doing well.
TD is a big Sox fan. This is his fault.
I'm not one for copycatting stuff. Playing that song at the same time the Sox play it is really kinda hokey.
And, the song is about Caroline Kennedy, who was NINE when Diamond wrote the song. That's kinda creepy.
Russo Park was going to whack the song two years ago, but someone offered to sponsor it so they kept it.
I SOOOOOO want this to go away.
It is pretty funny the power which one song sponsor has over the group . . . prime evidence that $$$$ talks and bietching walks . . .
Nobody does the bop-bop-bop part better than WVU, it’s my favorite version.
