How can the team NOT still play this song during 7th inning stretch - still brings chills.

Sigh...this song gives me chills. I wish they still played this version of it!

Megan, I agree. The chill factor is high on this one.

This is from the good 'ol days when the Dave putting down a smoker was none other than Dave Stieb.

...and not David Wells letting one rip.

OMG.

thanks mike.

I have to get that for my mp3 for when I run. It will get me though the uphill parts of my run.

A question for you... Did this song ever get radio air play back in the 80's ?

I don't remember hearing it on CFTR back in the day.

I can throw you the MP3. Play it on a continuous loop and you'll never tire.

I thought it meant Dave Windfield.

Er, Winfield.

Oh the memories...hot summer nights, $1.00 bleacher seats at the Ex....singing "Let's go Blue Jays" during the 7th inning stretch!!

I remember back in the mid-nineties this song was used for the Sydney Blues Baseball Club in the short-lived Australian Baseball League (especially in 1996 when we were Champions) as Sydney was affilliated with Toronto. Hearing it again gave me great memories. Can you all do us Aussies a favour and make some noise about starting a professional baseball league up in Australia again? I loved it first time I saw it.

David, I had no idea Sydney used this song. That's wild.

Now I'm going to search for your logo...

I just wrote about the Sydney Blues: http://www.torontomike.com/2007/11/sydney_blues_1995_abl_champs.html

Thanks for this! Tons of memories. Did you remember the song written for Tom Henke? I had the 45 record years ago, and wish I had held on to it.

My bad! I see you posted the song several months ago. Any chance of you shooting it my way? And maybe Ok Blue Jays as well?

Done.

when they say "Turn Billy blue", who do they mean by Billy?

I think they mean Yankees manager Billy Martin.

lol this song is so gay. its funny tho so toronto should bring it back=]

ooo ok but if theyre talking about the yankees manager, what does that have to do with the jays beating the A's?

Billy Martin managed the A's from 1980 - 1982. That was both before and after stints with the Yankees.

How can I get the MP3 file for this song?

If you enter your email address in the Email Address field, I'll send it to you. Your address won't appear on this site, it'll just appear in my inbox.

Thanks!

It's also on my Blue Jays Album - Class of '92 CD that's still kicking around.

Oddly enough, Humble and Fred are credited on a couple tracks. Separately though.

Thanks

Bryan, it's in your inbox. Go Jays Go!

Can you please send me the mp3 of the "OK Blue Jays" song? I love it!

OMG I must have this.... I am still trying to find "Let's go Blue Jays" as well.... Many a game spent at SkyDome and the Ex... I miss baseball and dangit now the only live games I can watch are if I fly to SEATTLE... *sigh*

SWEET Mike, thanks for the quick reply. Now maybe you can help me with my second search... the song that they used to play I think right before games started that included *this is from about a 12 year old memory, sorry*

"Let's go Blue Jays, rock em and a sock em and a bring them all home?"

I'm sure it was on one of those Blue Jays CDs, but I'm having a hard hard time finding it.

Kristen, that's the refrain from the embarrassingly awful "The Blue Jays Rap".

That one is so bad, it's good. I think the lyric is "Let's Go Blue Jays, Whack the ball, smack the ball, in the SkyDome. Let's go Blue Jays, rock em and a sock em and a bring them all home."

*grins* Yup, that's it. Now I just have to find the download for it. Thanks Mike!

Thanks for the wonderful memories this song just brought back. I clearly remember watching games at the Ex, and have been back to T.O. a few times to see some games at the Dome (when in TO, I always stay at the hotel in the Stadium). I also remember the fowl seagull incident witn Dave Winfield which created such flap, and I assume it is the motivation for the line "or is it seagull..."

Can you please email me the mp3 for that song?

With Gratitude,

Jeremy Cooper
(Grew up in TO, now in NYC)

I think the seagull line is there because Exhibition Stadium always attracted a lot of seagulls. It was by Lake Ontario, there was always a lot of popcorn and junk and there was no roof, so it was sort of a seagull paradise.

Hey Mike,

I would really appreciate it if you could forward the OK Blue Jays MP3 to me.

Thanks in advance!

Alan

Can you please send to me, I am making this my ringer on my Blackberry ;)
Thanks

Can you send me the OK Blue Jays Song too? I just went to my first Blue Jays game and fell in love with it!

Luka, you picked a great game as your first. A sweep of the Red Sox, a Frank Thomas grand slam, Doc Halladay on the mound - SWEET!

Song sent...

My I please have a copy of this song also. I cant find it anywhere else.Thanks.

And.. GO JAYS GO!!

So good. Brings back memories...could you please send a copy? Thanks!

Hey Mike, I'd love it if you could send me a copy. :)

Hey I am a Bluejay fan from the Good old UK! Me and my dad been there well me once dad twice (he's old) We never seen them win yet even when we caught them on tv in the UK! If we could get a copy of the cd would ba fantastic to have it cruising in the car.

Anyone know if you can get the world series finals of 1992 & 1993 on DVD or something?

Thank You Once Again!

I wish I could kiss you.

can you play "take me out to the ball game",too?

can you play "take me out to the ball game",too?

can you play "take me out to the ball game",too?

Can I get a copy of this song? I went up to watch a Blue Jay/Oriole game for my bachelor party a few years back. That game had a streaker and this song with every one doing calistetics (sp?). Great game, even better beer. God Bless Canada.

Thanks for the memories.
Go Jays and Come Tigers, lets get it going!!!

I am going through a box of 45s to log them and possible sell some nd guess what I came across? Yup, you guessed it, the *original* 45 of OK Blue Jays still in the original sleeve and both the record and sleeve in *mint* condition. I may consider selling it if the price is right.

Hey Tigger59, can you scan the cover and send me the pic?

Love this song.

Thanks so much for posting this! Great memories sitting at Exhibition Stadium for evening games, on the first base side being blinded by the sun until it went below the bleachers.

Could I bother you for a copy of the mp3? Thank you!

P.S. Does anyone remember/have a copy of "Terminator - The Ballad of Tom Henke"?

Previously on Toronto Mike...

The Ballad of Tom Henke: http://www.torontomike.com/2008/03/the_ballad_of_tom_henke.html

I'll send you the MP3s on Monday.

Brilliant!! Thank you!

Perfect to hear!!!
I have long since moved away from TO but just the other day parts of the song came to me but I could not remember all the words.I could not wait to get back to work (hight speed) to search it out and sing along. Thank you for finding it. I was saddended to here they do not play it during the game any more, that a shame.

Do they really not play this anymore? They were playing it as recently as last season when I last attended a game. Can anyone else corroborate Nicole's statement?

This is so funny, my husband and I were just talking about this song last night. I love this song, they should start playing it at the games again. The Friday night home games with the retro uniforms would be prefect for it!! Can you please send me the song as well I would love to have it. Thanks
