STOP, plzthx.

Jay-Z's "Welcome to New York" has been taken up as the Yankee's anthem during this World Series run. And I know this because I've heard the song AT LEAST eight times today while listening to the radio and watching the game coverage. There was a point this evening where it was playing simultaneously on Hot 97, Z100, and 103.5 KTU. Serves me right for tuning into the radio at all, I know, but still.

Let's go Mets! *sob*

What?! Not Empire State? I'd give good money to hear a stadium full of fans singing "everybody ride her, just like a bus route" Damn you Jay-Z!!!!

Wait, is that the name of the song? I don't think they played it in its entirety the first night, although Keys and Jay-Z performed it this evening at the game.

Either way, SO tired of hearing it. It's catchy the first couple of times. That was a while back.

I think the one they are playing for the Yankees is "run this town" if it's the same one I've heard. but yeah, old after a few times.

Nope, they're definitely rocking the new Jay-Z/Alicia Keys combo joint. I know, as I've heard it a KAZILLION times.

She's talking about "Empire State of Mind." I would pay good money to hear that too, though.

yup, that's the one! The radio always shortens the title! I forgot it was Empire state of mind!

Srsly. I love the song, but did they really have to play it every 5 minutes at that game? Maybe they were trying to compensate for the rain delay on Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' part?

And I've been hearing it *everywhere.* Every other car passing by, people with crappy headphones. And it doesn't help that it's my default ringtone. I need to change that, because that song is thoroughly saturated.
