Sweet Caroline

I wondered why this song was so popular with sports fans in UK. It is a very old song (1969 ), yet young blokes seem to know the words. I realise that Neil Diamond is like Royalty in the USA. I seen him a few times as my Ex was a rabid fan. Just that on youtube it features male fans in UK going almost as potty as my ex. Does any club have it as one of their " songs "?

Dunno but I believe dart player Daryl Gurney has it as his walk on song .

Maybe they sung it with their dads when they were little like
Robbie Williams did

It is an easy listening, ‘catchy’ tune, simple rhythm, with memorable lyrics. I took my daughter with me to go see him at the O2 few years back, was offered great seats gratis. She was 15 then and really enjoyed the evening . Had never heard of him until then but was astounded as to how famous he was subsequently.

It’s a catchy singalong, alright, and Diamond was pretty prolific in churning out catchy pop tunes.

Mind you, Quo also had a cracking sweet Caroline song too. I wonder if their title was shortened for copyright reasons?

Diamond is the epitome of bland, middle of the road mushy crap

Some say that about 300 year old Classical Music, which has a following all around the World. Lasts the test of time.

Didn't Wumble create a thread for this sort of thing?
