“Hipless” Mets Theme Song Detractors Call For Replacement
The updated Mets theme song “Our Team. Our Time” has received terrible reviews:
Posted: June 1st, 2006 | Filed under: Crap Your Pants Say Yeah!The new Mets theme song, “Our Team. Our Time,” is so bad that fans are petitioning online to have it killed, the creators are getting death threats and it has been banned to only pregame playtime.
Fans of Pedro Martinez and the first-place Amazin’s compare it to the Chicago Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle” or “a bad rip-off of Run-D.M.C. circa 1985.” One fan even insinuated that Britney Spears’ talentless hip-hop hubby, Kevin Federline, could’ve done a better job.
“As a Mets fan, I’m truly embarrassed by this horrible excuse for a song the Mets have anointed the ‘song of 2006,'” one writes.
“Aside from the embarrassingly bad lyrics, cheesy dated ‘Vanilla Ice’-style music and lack of melody, it’s stereotyping the team as tasteless, hipless, and classless . . . it’s just stupid.”
