Sweet Caroline

"Good times" anthem

"Sweet Caroline" is a 1969 pop song by Neil Diamond, notable for its singalong chorus where crowds shout "bum bum bum" and "so good, so good, so good" between lines.

The song has become a stadium anthem, especially at Boston Red Sox games and British football matches: The whole bar belted out Sweet Caroline at last call.
