I used to buy a package plan of tickets at Yankee Stadium. There are many reasons why I no longer have those tickets, but one of them, small but significant, is that they play that infernal “song” between innings late in the game and the jumbotron shows various cretins jumping and gyrating to the ghastly noise produced by it. It would send me running to the nearest beer vendor, wishing there were stronger spirits for sale nearer my seat.

Since I gave up those tickets I have been able to avoid it completely and I firmly believe it has extended my life expectancy.

AAHTOF 99c was one of the best ever, and could well have been episode 100.

Especially as there were well over 100 viewers for the new improved unemployed-only afternoon slot.

It was more like episode 99b(i) if you ask me(which you weren't)

Well that song is going to be going around in my head for the next 3 days - thanks! 😉

I came here to leave the exact same comment! I read recently that the chorus of Do You Know The Way to San Jose is a good way to rinse other songs out of your head, due to its catchiness and unusual rhythm, let’s see if that works

Or listen to the Nina Simone version as THAT might over write the ear worm.

Unfortunately seeing the notification about these comments has put the song back in my head again

In which case, might I recommend: 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲; whether it be the Ram Jam or the Tom Jones or the Spiderbait versions.
