So, FARK and DIGG rallied their troops, and got 5 million people to vote for Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up in the team'seighth-inning sing-a-long contest.
Instead of declaring Astley the winner, the team will hold a live, run-off vote.
Tomorrow, during the eighth inning, they'll play Never Gonna Give You Up, followed by Living on a Prayer on Wednesday, I'm aBeliever on Thursday, Movin' Out on Friday, Sweet Caroline on Saturday and Build Me Up Buttercup on Sunday.
…i actually like this solution…instead of just ignoring the FARK.com results, which are very real, Rick Astley and theirefforts are recognized…however, as it was explained to me by the team, knowing full well that only a small, small percentage of those 5 million votescame from actual Mets fans, by playing the top six songs at Shea, the team can now gauge how their own, real fan base takes to each tunebased on audience participation, which will ultimately determine the stadium's new sing-a-long song…
…the funniest part about this entire thing is that, i never, in a million years, thought i would dedicate this much time and space to Rick Astleyon MetsBlog.com…and i laugh every time i write his name…well played, FARK…well played, indeed…this may be one of thebiggest Rickrolls ever…
