Currently at Mets.com, the team is asking fans to vote from 10 choices, including a write-in option, to elect a new eighth-inning sign-a-long song, which could potentially replace Sweet Caroline.
However, FARK.com is encouraging it’s community to bombard Mets.com and vote Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up as a write-in candidate.
FARK logs more than 4 million unique visitors each month.
…in other words, unless the Mets ignore these vote totals, this will be your eighth-inning sing-a-long, which, as bad as it is, is still far better than Sweet Caroline…so, thanks, FARK…
To vote, go here, and do so by noon on Monday, April 7, when the voting booth closes.
…as i said last week, personally, i think there is way, way too much music played at Shea Stadium as it is…also, the poll question implies that having a sing-a-long is some sort of requirement…last i checked, baseball can actually be played without a singing…in fact, i prefer song-less baseball…
To learn what a Rickroll is, go here.
That makes my day
How about we don’t sing a long like a bunch of idiots? And take down that stupid 7 train race on the scoreboard. Let’s exude some kind of class as an organization - I know, difficult, but possible.
they diddnt do the train race at all last year
Yeah, cause singing is the most classless thing one can do… However, Rick Astley needs to be stopped.
rick ftw
Do you have any idea of the repercussions if 50,000 people get Rick Rolled at the same time? its like Global Warming times a million.
This FARK stunt is the funniest thing i’ve ever heard.
How about John Foggerty’s Centerfield…
There’s way too much idiotic noise at the game.
I voted for quiet.
What about “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”??
I hope everyone is just thinking about that song as a given when they make comments about silence etc…
They should play “America F*** Yeah” from ‘Team America’. That would be THE best sing along.
definately
Can you imagine the sweet sound of 57 thousand plus singing the team america theme song. It would go down as one of the greatest moments in American history.
I voted Land of 1000 Dances by Wilson Pickett
Just for the Record, I am so voting for Rick Astley now.
I encourage all Mets fans to do so.

The momentum is picking up steam!
Rick Astley? Wasn’t he that little weenie guy with the big voice?
Bring back Jane Jarvis- she’s not dead yet and probably played the organ at Ebbets ha ha , so Fred Sterling would love her.
What about Glenn Frey “You belong to the city” The song explains Queens and the rest of the city. If not I’ll go with “Ready or Not” by The Fugees
Write in “BACK IN THE NEW YORK GROOVE” It’s time this team got back to our 06 Groove
marky mark - good vibrations
This pretty much needs to get done.
Ugh, can’t we have silence instead?
They rickroll prisoners at Guantanamo.
You don’t understand the true meaning of Rick Roll man. The real definition of rick roll is when you get something even better than what you expected. Which happens to be Rick Astley.
I’m thinking Hit Em Up by Tupac, instead of referring to Biggie we can refer to the Phils and Braves
haha, then we would have to appologize to LMilz for all the outrage about his song
That being said it’s not too late to vote for “Bend Ya Knees” by Manny D Featuring L- Millz!
have you or anyone else been able to find a copy of the manny d song featuring lastings online? ive been looking forever
Nothing wrong with Rick Astley. Of course, I wouldn’t tell that lie…and hurt you.
Rick-Roll at Shea would be HILARIOUS. I love it!
Why do we need to have a stupid song? Can you say L-A-M-E? And Rick Astley? Good God……
Is he even still alive??
why not?
I would rather “bend ya knees” then “Rick Roll”. What did we do to merrit this?
I know the hang up with “sweet Caroline” but its much much better then this crapola.
please, everyone vote for this song!
Why does everyone get all bent out of shape by these things? This stuff is obviously for the casual fan. Personally, while these antics are going on, I’m usually checking out my scorecard or discussing the game with whoever I am with.
And to be honest, some of this stuff is actually fun. People need to lighten up and have some fun. You’re at a ballpark, not a church.
I can only speak for myself, but I’m certainly not “bent out of shape”. One the things I love about baseball vs other sports is the relaxed atmosphere of the game…the fact that there is no clock, and you can sit back, watch the game and have conversation while doing so.
You can’t do that any more. There is constantly something in your face, constantly some obnoxious music blaring in your ears. I live in DC and went to the Nats opening night for their new ballpark, and it was insane. They literally bombarded you with stimuli after every pitch.
Besides, Rick Astley is lame.
Evvvvvverybody clap your hands…
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap….
I cant find the song writer online ANYWHERE…..anyone know its John Lennon or Bob Dylan….I wanna pick up the single….
C’mon….how can you not wanna be ‘moderized’. This is baseball 21st century style mofo…and new and NOW are always better than old and boring…
I’m actually OK wiht the 7th inning song, but they HAVE to stop the in game stuff….
im pretty sure that’s the immortal MC Hammer
its the Cha Cha slide, by, i dunno, some guy.
