What is your favorite song played at The Stadium?

[Maas_Pasqua_Pags]

Could be new......... Could be old........... How about "Wooly Bully"! http://youtu.be/MHF558u6Q_8

[StingrayJG]

Since I had the Sunday Plan for all those years prior to cancelling them this winter,
I grew quite fond of hearing the Bobby Darin version of "Sunday In New York" they would always play just prior to the Sunday games.

Ladies and gentlemen... please join Kate Smith as she sings "God Bless America"

Kidding... like nails on a blackboard.

[yankees2010]

YMCA. That never gets tired or old. In fact they should do it every half inning

[CalYankeeFan]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwddd........


My favorite - "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra. Whenever that plays (most of the time anyway), it's a good day.

[bagger015]

Enter Sandman or New York, New York.......

[Ram Man]

Tough choices. Gotta like Wooly Bully, I mean who doesn't? Then again, it is hard to beat Enter Sandman when no. 42 comes into the game. In the end, I've got to go with Frank.

We Are the Champions

[kirbivore]

I'm not saying it was my favorite, but I'm probably the only person who misses "Cotton Eyed Joe".

[4bronxbombers]

We Are the Champions

Enter Sandman

New York, New York

[HerbieLee20]

Francis Albert, all the way. I'm probably one of the last out of The Stadium on win days
Never get enough of taking it all in....

[JL25and3]

A few years ago, when the organist was filling time before a day game, I heard him play Frank Zappa's "Peaches En Regalia." That was my absolute favorite.

If you're talking about songs they play regularly at the Stadium now, I'd probably go with "Blitzkrieg Bop" as the best song.

If Mason Williams ever makes the team, I hope they play "Classical Gas" every time he comes to bat.

[njyankeesfan]

The Frank Sinatra version of "New York, New York". Remember when they played the Liza Minelli version when the team lost? I hated that!

[b_kundrick]

You can't go wrong with "New York, New York" or "Enter Sandman", but any kind of Jay-Z works well too!

[hellonewman]

If Mason Williams ever makes the team, I hope they play "Classical Gas" every time he comes to bat.

Totally. That's already my nickname for him.

[groovitude]

Besides "New York, New York" and "Enter Sandman," I think I'll have to go with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's "Zorba the Greek."

[Eldee5]

If Mason Williams ever makes the team, I hope they play "Classical Gas" every time he comes to bat.

Totally. That's already my nickname for him.

Boy, I love it here. I've been thinking exactly this since I first saw the kid's name but I thought no one else would get it. Kindred spirits at this place, I tell ya.

[AnAbombfromA-rod13]

I still get pumped to hear empire state of mind

I would have enjoyed that, too.

If Mason Williams ever makes the team, I hope they play "Classical Gas" every time he comes to bat.

...except that somebody will call him a 'one-hit wonder' if he does poorly.

Empire?

Think I get it, as in (un)evil empire?

[hellonewman]

Empire?

Think I get it, as in (un)evil empire?

No, he had it right, it's not the song you think it is. Jay-Z, not Billy Joel.

I may never have heard the entire song before. Back in the day, instrumentals were played on AM radio to fill up whatever time they had left before the top of the hour. "Classical Gas" - like "Love Is Blue" a few years earlier - was played practically every hour, but never all the way through.

There weren't very many, I'd say less than one per year through the 60's that had good runs in the Top 10. I had the 45 for Telstar by the Tornados:



Then 'No Matter What Shape' by the T-Bones--aka the Alka-Seltzer Song



and Herb Alperts's Spanish Flea



Sorry for the thread derail, I went on a nostalgia run here....
