Some Major League teams have adopted a certain sing-a-long song that they play after the classic “Take Me Out…” For example: the Houston Astros play “Deep In the Heart Of Texas,” the Milwaukee Brewers go with polka number “Roll Out The Barrel,” and the Boston Red Sox belt out “Sweet Caroline.” Now the Royals have asked their fans to select the special song that will be played at their ballpark. The fans’ choice will then be played during every 7th Inning Stretch following the All-Star break.

Here’s the list of choices, although fans can also suggest others:
Last Dance, by Donna Summer
Son of a Preacher Man, by Dusty Springfield
Kansas City, by The Beatles
The Limbo
Cotton Eyed Joe, by Rednex
Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash
Dancing Queen, by ABBA
Come on Eileen, by Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground), by Michael Jackson
Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond

My pick for the Royals? I’d go off the list and choose “Everything’s Up To Date in Kansas City” from the musical “Oklahoma”. Great clap along song. But what do I know anyway?
