« Daily photos of the political campaigns in Iowa | Main | Latchmo, Dylan, Fogerty, Hold Steady, Goo, Caray, Screaming Mimes: 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' » October 24, 2007'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' -- the best of YouTubeI stayed up late last night watching dozens of versions of Jack Norworth's 1908 classic, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and these made the cut. This first edition has some Red Sox versions, some neutral versions. A second edition tomorrow will have folks singing, "Root, root, root for the Cubbies," and other versions that sound strange to Red Sox fans' ears. Red Sox fans sing it Sept. 26. 2006 at Fenway.
Harpo Marx plays it on harp on I Love Lucy, 1955.
Buck O'Neill of the Negro League sings it a capella.
An elderly man identified only as George plays it on organ, just like at the ball parks. Budweiser lizards and ferret do it. When the Red Sox won the pennant in 2005, the night before the parade through Boston the bells of the Arlington Street Church at Boylston and Arlington Sts., where the carillon is still played by hand, played Take Me Out to the Ball Game. There is no separation between church and sport. Posted by Sheila Lennon
