This spring, the NY Mets decided to let the fans vote for the song to be played during the 8th inning sing along for every home game this season. There were 10 choices for fans to vote for, one being "other", a write in ballot. Through the miracle of the interwebz, "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley came in first, with over 5 million votes. The song played at their home opener and was greeted with loud Boo's across the stadium.
Unfortunately, the Mets backed out of their deal with the people and they will be playing the top six choices over the next six home games. The one received best by the crowed at the game will be chosen as the season song. Sad to say, Never gonna give you up won't be playing all year the way it should be.
A great prank, to my knowledge the biggest Rick Roll yet.
