Bring back The Curly Shuffle

The Mets are asking fans to vote for an eighth-inning sing-a-long song. Here are the choices:

“Brown Eyed Girl" -- Van Morrison
“Build Me Up Buttercup” -- The Foundations
“I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll’’ -- Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
“I'm a Believer” -- The Monkees
“Land of 1,000 Dances” -- Wilson Pickett
“Livin’ On A Prayer” -- Bon Jovi
“Movin’ Out” -- Billy Joel
“Sweet Caroline” -- Neil Diamond
“Theme from ‘Friends’ (I'll Be There for You)” -- The Rembrandts
“Waitin' On A Sunny Day” -- Bruce Springsteen

Here are my thoughts: Lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame, lame.

There is only one possible choice: The Curly Shuffle, by the Jump'n The Saddle Band.

Craig Carton put it out there on his morning show with Boomer Esiason this morning, and while I'm not a huge Carton fan I agree with him 100 percent. It's an oldie but a goodie, a song with strong ties to the Mets glory days and the 1986 World Series championship season. It's fun. Everyone can yell "HEY, MOE! HEY, MOE!" What's not to love?

So when you vote online, write in "The Curly Shuffle" and spare us all from the possibility of "Sweet Caroline" or, God help us, the theme from "Friends."
