fucking l o l
this smells of 4chan, anyone got any info if they had anything to do with it?

Don't think it started on 4chan, this digg post has been dug over 8000 times but I'm not sure if that's where it started or not.

Rather than commit to that as the new eighth-inning tune since it probably doesn’t reflect the fan base’s wishes, the Mets will play the top six selections once apiece during the first six games of their home stand. The one that draws the largest crowd response will stick.

The other songs that made the cut, in descending order: Livin’ on a Prayer, Bon Jovi; I’m a Believer, The Monkees; Movin’ Out, Billy Joel; Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond; and Build Me Up Buttercup, The Foundations.

I guarantee that Never Gonna Give You Up would get bigger crowd response than those six songs put together. They should give it a fair shot.

I might actually buy a mets ticket for a change.

i just heard elsewhere they are going to play it...lemme keep digging

[Tokitoki]

It did start on 4chan. My roommate and I saw it the day the poll went up, then it spread across to digg and a few other sites apparently. I just ran around looking for my roommate to tell him.

L O L

Edit: They will keep playing it. They are playing 7 different songs over the course of the season, NBever Gonna Give You Up is one of them

[izembo]

thats pretty funny, they better play it ;p

[skurlover]

All the Rickroll stuff was funny until the national media and even my local radio station started talking about the new trend like it fucking started last week. Then it just became another sad story about how the media is miles behind the fucking internet culture.

[aurik]

Just as long as they don't mess with football

[Deadmeat]

They played it.

Yeah i noticed this "what is a Rock Roll" story on the front of MSN uk last week when i went to check email, reporting on it as if it was some new thing to just happen lol. Welcome to 2007.

[Kyreth]

It got onto YTMND, as well- sponsored site too. Win for Anon, either way.

I think we learned a long time ago that baseball has no sense of humor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvPAMn_nVps
