The Answers: Sweet Caroline

New installment for the blog; I'll be trying to make this a weekly thing, it may turn in to biweekly, but that remains to be seen.  So what will happen is I will take something popular, maybe something trending, and reveal the truth about said phenomenon.  Today's phenomenon comes with a grain of salt.  I can't believe I have to write this, but its become too big to ignore.

You're in Fenway Park, America's most beloved ballpark, and the Red Sox are losing by 8 runs in the middle of the game.  You could leave early, beat some traffic on the way out, sure.  Or, you could forgo caring about the game and just stay til the middle of the 8th inning to hear "Sweet Caroline" come on!

Don't worry, if you don't know the lyrics, they're on the smaller scoreboard out in right field.  And if you even glance out there once, then its clear this article is directed at you.

"Hands,
Touchin' hands.
Reachin' out,
Touchin' me,
Touchin' youuuuu..."

Everyone's with me so far?

"Sweet Caroline..."

Now what?  Answer: "BAH BAH BAH"

Where have people gotten this idea that the horns suddenly changed their noise to "OH OH OH"?  If you listen closely, you'll hear any number of idiots doing it, because clearly they don't belong in Fenway Park.  Take the video at the top -- those guys are hammered and still singing every word right.  So next time you're at Fenway belting our "Sweet Caroline" and you hear some chumps around you say "OH OH OH," kindly escort them out of the park with a swift kick in the ass.
