I was in Boston in 2004 and watched The Red Sox stuff the Minnesota Twins.
The "Bah! Bah! Bah!" thing was chanted all round Fenway Park that day, so had obviously been a staple chant for a while.
Was it a Red Sox thing or had it been used elsewhere previously, anyone know?

In the UK it's down to David Lloyd singing it over the mic during a break in the Twenty 20 Finals Day one year. And then dressing up as Elvis and doing it again the next year. And repeat. And show it again at random times on Sky. So the Barmy Army took it on and there's cross over between them and England Fans, and between the England cricket trumpeter and the Sheff Wed/England brass band.

In the UK Northern Ireland have been singing it since the late 90s. When was Twenty20 cricket invented? 2002?
My initiation in the uni football team involved having to sing a karaoke song in front of about 80 people and I went for Sweet Caroline. You also had to down a pint in the gap between the song beginning and the very first word of the song which gave me about 13 seconds to play with.
For a lot of the uni away matches thereafter, the drive back on the coach would involved everyone drinking a bottle of wine (no idea why wine but that was the tradition) in the first hour back and the remaining time being more karaoke and drinking games. Sweet Caroline again would often be my go to choice of song. Towards the end of second year, no matter which team I’d be in, it would be requested as my song from the other lads. Unfortunately covid meant there would be no final year rendition.
Apparently many people thought (think) it's a bit of creepy song especially the lines Reaching out Touching me Touching you
But then he revealed years later it was written after seeing Caroline Kennedy aged 8 in a magazine.. not sure if that helped dispel the creepies about the song

I thought his appearance on ITV last night was hilarious. He clearly had no idea what he was being made to talk about.
I also enjoyed Mr Keane's story about how he got into a row with a woman sat next to him at a Neil Diamond concert, presumably the one at Portman Road.
I was in Brisbane watching an Australia v England ODI in 2014 & they were still playing "Rock and Roll, Part 2". Presumably news of Mr Gadd's prison sentences for child sex offences hadn't reached Australia, or they simply didn't care.
