I love this arrangement of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” performed by The Ball State University Singers. Apparently this was recorded thirteen years ago, but the video has only been viewed a little over 1100 times, and I feel this deserves to be higher. It’s a bit showtune-ish, but it’s a fun arrangement, and they even sing the full 1908 version, not just the bit we hear at the ballpark.
I’ve been to Muncie, where Ball State is located; the city is not deserving of 1100 views.
That intro and ending had me dreaming of Jimi Hendrix at a sold out Shea Stadium in August,1969, right after Woodstock and Jimi agreed to do two sets – the National Anthem and Take Me out to the Ballgame. I wonder when they started signing “take me out to the ball game” at games?
