Talk:Sweet Caroline

message: This article could really use a good editing job to improve it's quality. One gem that caught my eye was in regards to Boston College's playing of it: In the student section, over 9000 generally inebriated undergrads sing along heartily, clad in their yellow, superfan t-shirts. As a UNH fan, and BU sympathizer, I am inclined to leave it be. ;) --Rob McDougall 07:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article states:
In the autumn of 1969, Diamond performed "Sweet Caroline" on several television shows. It later reached No. 8 on the UK singles chart in March 1971.
What is the connection between these two statements? Being in the same paragraph, one would expect that there is one, but unless people in England are really slow making decisions there wouldn't appear to be (even assuming that the television shows in question were shown there).   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:300:7520:850:16C8:6ADC:B06A (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Someone's posted the lyrics to this song recently. Others have added or corrected them after they were posted. I seem to recall reading somewhere that lyrics are not supposed to be part of Wikipedia song entries. I am trying to find out if this is indeed the case. If it is, I will delete the lyrics here, unless someone else beats me to it. RSLitman 04:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A Yahoo article (link to article) talks about "Sweet Caroline" being back on the charts because of the Red Sox and the reveal of who Caroline is... any more information about this? Should info about the re-chart be added to the article? Thanks - Antmusic (talk) 18:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I just removed three covers by redlinked artists.  I'm not sure what else to remove.  I believe we should keep at least...
* Charted covers
* Covers by superstars
* Covers that relate in an interesting way (e.g., the one that mentions Diamond and the two at Fenway)
Any other guidance? Matchups 18:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: As I am unable to find a linkable source (EDIT: I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaddJhqqx0E), I will not be adding it at this point, but I do know firsthand that since at least the early 90s this song has been a 300 section (read: cheap seats) favorite at the Buffalo Sabres games, carrying over from the Memorial Auditorium days into the new arena we have here.  Most famously, the line "Sweet Caroline..." is always followed by a ceremonial BAH BAH BAH from the crowd to make up the trumpet line, and then followed by the shouting of "SO GOOD! SO GOOD!" after the line "good times never seemed so good."  Needless to say, the city of no illusions has a rather touching sense of irony...   --KeineLust90 (talk) 05:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sporting Events 

message: As of at least this season, Sweet Caroline is played at the conclusion of each University of Connecticut baseball game. However, I couldn't find a reliable source for it. I did add it to my blog (http://greguconngames.wordpress.com/2011/03/26/march-25-game-63-baseball-vs-pittsburgh/) but I would have to assume it is not a reliable source per Wikipedia policy. It would probably be even more in violation of Wikipedia policy if I were to add it myself, and since it's a blog hosted on Wordpress, I'm guessing it would be removed regardless of who added it. But if someone can find a reliable source, go ahead. I'll try to find one too. Smartyllama (talk) 10:37, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The version I remember the most was the Elvis version. I think that should probably be added to the cover section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0S3C087Vic

message: Is anyone opposed to adding Neil Diamond’s new alternate lyrics (hands, washing hands // reaching out // don’t touch me // I won’t touch you) under alternate mixes? Even as a quick mention to his comical response to the COVID-19 guidelines?

thread_title:  Alternate Mixes 

message: Sweet Caroline’s use at WVU sporting events is more notable than its use at Pitt events or at the very least equally notable, yet it is omitted from this section of the article and attempts to add it have been reverted. The use of the “Eat Shit Pitt” variation certainly warrants mention in the article especially in light of the mention of Pitt’s variation and the rivalry between the two schools. 50.221.227.89 (talk) 15:56, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
