[isitabirdnoitsaplane]

@111knuckleheadhey ugly boy, is that why you "boast" about how ejaculate

over a NYC fireman doll while watching the collapse footage

on a loop? I hope someone sets you on fire and the fire brigade don't

come. It'll be the one and only time I wouldn't piss on you nibbler032

retarded ginger bastard! p.s "why do you have so many screen names

you little pussy??"

[Three1Bravo]

I love this song, it always reminds me of being my car at night listening to Ed Coleman doing the post game.

[TheBigtimerush09]

If u hate the mets and ur making lame coments then ur wasting ur damn life looking @ the videoooo -3

[lavanmc]

i love this version. i like the pre 2008 version better though. ps who's the girl that sings this

[lqleviathan]

I feel like I'm watching an opening to an 80's, early 90's sitcom when i hear this song

[MoJoSB]

Always HATED this version. Just horrible, horrible.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@MoJoSB Granted I came into the fold during the Piazza years, so I'm a kid of the 1990s and missed the 1986 year entirely--so my Mets experience is Piazza, the Grand Single, the Subway Series, the 9/11 HR, and 2006 for high points--but this sounds sort of cool for a variant...

The orignal is CLASSIC, nothing can touch it, but this is alrright (and hey, they won a couple years after this was introduced...maybe we should bring it back? Though no more hot dogs and green grass at Shea--oh well.)

[terracottapie]

They still play this version on the pregame and postgame on the Mets radio broadcasts.

[JoeGutfeld]

This version was used during the 1980's along with a video before the mets took the field

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

David Wright thinks that he's soooooooooo cool with his two index fingers pointed toward the crowd.

[terracottapie]

@EMOTIONALLOGICABLE That's because he is.

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

@terracottapie Why is he wearing that goofy shirt?

[terracottapie]

@EMOTIONALLOGICABLE Wait, are you being serious or trolling?

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

@terracottapie Isn't this shirt aqua blue and reads MEEM. It looks like he cut the shirt up the middle and is wearing half of it inside out.

[terracottapie]

@EMOTIONALLOGICABLE That's why I was asking if you were kidding, I can't believe you actually thought he was wearing that shirt., and that it isn't a 'shopped photo.

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

@terracottapie maybe it isn't David Wright in the photo. Maybe it's an imposter or his twin brother Darryl.

[dmcrra]

i too remember this song playing outside the gates at shea. Thanks for posting!!

[ixcuincle]

First thing that comes to mind listening to this is Mets Xtra

[handsignednycjim]

could listen to this 100 times a day

[metsfreak4life]

how about this "hot dogs, green grass, all by the Bay (as in flushing bay), guarenteed to have a heck of a day"

[richie864]

I think this version is superior to the original (but I'm partial b/c I grew up hearing this one). Maybe one day Citi Field will become the new Shea Stadium, and then perhaps we would again hear more of the lyrics on Mets Extra.

[agatlin732]

ive always loved this version with all the "LETS GO METS" chants i literally get choked up ....i remember hearing it playing at Shea before games i always got fired up!!!!!

[jericho360]

They used to play this a lot before Mets games at Shea Stadium outside the gates. I miss it...

[clubtv12]

Let's Go Mets!!!!! their in first place so far this year.

[clubtv12]

i love this mets theme song version

[hiresrootbeer1876]

I enjoy all 3 recorded versions including the 1975 version by Keith Textor and his orchestra which WOR TV used for many years.

[MikeChuk21]

@hiresrootbeer1876 Does anyone, anywhere, have a copy of that version? It was the first I heard when I was a kid but Doubleday and Wilpon seemed to retcon it out of existence when they bought the team. You only hear this or the '63 original now.

[BillyWagner13]

did you get this from the thread at MR?

[obiwanobiwan13]

They play the 1962 version, actually, I think...

The original IS the best, just because its baseball classic, famous throughout baseball, sort of like "Go Cubs Go."

(Only we can win more than once every century!) :D

But this actually works for the 1980s Mets... because they were both products of the Mets legacy and the 1980s with the good... and the bad...

[postcard22]

@obiwanobiwan13 boo

[YoungConstant]

I think they're both awesome. Cool having a woman sing it too :)

All the Met songs are amazin!!!!

[shanejegan]

This is way better than the original

[postcard22]

@shanejegan  no

[exposfan20032000]

they should have never messed with the original.. this is stupid

[shabeki]

@exposfan20032000 It's not that bad. I grew up in the '80's, so this is the version I grew up with. Yeah, it has some of those cheesy 80's tunes, but it's always been a nice familiar ring on the radio. But I always loved hearing the '62 version whenever I walked into Shea Stadium.

[Wheeljack35]

It should be Beat the mets
