- This version of "Meet the Mets" was used on closing the broadcasts, as well as television commercials, from 1974-1979. You can find the choral version on my page as well!

I remember this song all too well. I associate it with the Dark Ages of the NYM. I recall an Easter Sunday Doubke Header at Shea in 1974 when the Mets got swept by the Phillies. This song was playing with the closing credits as I sat there as a nine year old realizing it was going to be a long year.
You see, it’s not about being funky,
IT’S ABOUT THE METS BABY LOVE THE METS
Variation was used to intro the TV broadcasts and Kiner's Korner. Can't you just hear: "Good afternoon from Shea Stadium, today's game against Cincinnati is brought to you by Rheingold Beer - "My beer is Rheingold the dry beer" and your New York, New Jersey and Fairfield County Chrysler Plymouth dealers - "Chrysler Plymouth Coming through" I'm Lindsey Nelson along with Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner. It's a beautiful day here at Shea...."
I remember this around 1980 when we got WOR on cable in LA and we'd watch the Mets play the Dodgers.
Hearing this has inspired me to grow my hair like Jackson Todd :)
Steve Cohen needs to bring this version back!
The Mets did
Whoa ... that bass lick at 0:53 ...
The whole thing is a great piece for brass.
Just screams ' 70's.
Thanks Anthony, this sounds great. Brings back a lot of memories of watching the Mets on WOR-TV channel 9.
Love hearing this. Takes me back to '79... Mazz, Youngblood, Swannie, Frank Tavares, John Stearns and a couple of rookie pitchers: Neil Allen and Jesse Orosco.
What about Wayne Twitchell?
Great news, SNY has been playing it after every Mets win
This is the NY Mets TV theme I recall best.
We got this version tonight, LFGM!
As good as this is to hear, it was an era of mediocre teams or worse.
Actually debuted in '74.
Thank you wiedep, you are correct and change has been made!
Been looking for this for years ! I could hear it in my head from my childhood, especially the cheesy porn movie wah wah guitar. No one seemed to remember this when I'd talk about it. Thanks for proving I'm not totally nuts !
I hear you John! I had said the same thing to others, and they had never believed me. But here it is
and I love the drum solo, with the highhats
wah-wah-wah-wah-wah...love the 70's!!!
Long lost version from long losing seasons
Disco Mets !
Music performed by Keith Textor and his Orchestra
Was actually used through the 1980 season.
This gave me goose bumps, and I find myself listening to it over and over. Thank you so much! The audio begins with a needle drop. Was this on an LP?
Thank you for checking it out! Yes the person who had created it transcaribed it from a vinyl album. I had been trying to get the name/creator of that album, but not yet. Check out the version with vocals as well, on my channel
Fantastic. This is a treasure.
Brian, on a giveaway day at Shea Stadium they actually gave out copies of this 45 record that had this version and the vocal version.
RIP The Franchise
OH SHIT DOESNT SNY USE THIS NOW?
true -- found it in a clip of yesterday's SNY clip of the NYM v Cleveland Indians game, at the very end
Well SNY found this today LOL, #LGM
Patrick Manion did they play this on the network today?
ajvent68 yeah they played after the bottom of the 9th, I recognized it by the Waka jos
Oh man I wish I had been watching. But had to work :-)
Ummm, yeah, the original version with the singing was much, much better.
Lol Mets
