We're putting together our do-not-play list. Curious about everyone's thoughts on this old standby. :)

    My friends and I LOVE IT.  We sing along - loudly.  Sweet Caroline, (bum bum buuuuuumm), good times never seemed so blue (so blue so blue so blue!)...

    But then we've also seen the band Super Diamond.  Multiple times.

    They're good!

    ETA: I must have been in a rush.  It should be - good times never seemed so good (so good so good so good).  Duh.  :)

    This Washingtonian turned Bostonian turned DC-ite will be having Sweet Caroline on her must play list, in fact, we might play it twice!  But that's mainly b/c it's hard to imagine a gathering of our Boston college friends without it.  I'm also considering making our entrance to "Shipping Up to Boston" (i.e. Jonathan Papelbon's entrance from the bullpen song), but I'm just a Sox nut. 

    It's also, depsite being really cheesy, a really sweet song.

    It will definitely get everyone singing along, just not my style.  Another sing-a-long: Build Me Up Buttercup.

    lol Jennuine. :)
    I was not aware "Sweet Caroline" was some sort of wedding standard. I haven't been to that many weddings though either. I do kinda want a Neil Diamond song somewhere in there, but that's because both of my parents loved him and so did I when I was little. But I'm a little more inclined to "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show"

    Um, of course. Not a Red Sox fan, but everyone loves this song! Had no idea it was considered cheesy.

    This song is great! I've heard it 3-4 times at business function/parties recently and it doesn't get old.  It was prominent at both of my sister's weddings where we shout "CAROLYN" because that is her name!  Go for it!

    Oh.Em.Gee.  Jenn, you and me, eye to eye.<div>
    </div><div>I freakin HEART Build Me Up Buttercup, and sing it at the top of my lungs every time it's on.  As I tell my friends when we karaoke (or otherwise sing out loud) - I'm not good, but I <em>am</em> enthusiastic, and sometimes that's better.</div>

    Yeah, my FI would also be like WTF is this?  I'm already pushing it w/ footloose.  Wait, is footloose a no no?  Well, you gotta have a few crowd pleasers and play to our different guests.

    I honestly don't like Sweet Caroline - never really have.  Build Me Up Buttercup, however, I do love!
