"Let's Go Mets Go!" (also entitled "Let's Go Mets!") was the rally song of the1986 World Series championNew York Mets baseball team. The song was the creation of famed advertiserJerry Della Femina and two of his executives, Bob Sherman and Jon Olken. The idea for the song was conceived in July 1986, when the Mets had a powerful lead in theNational League East,[1] and the pennant seemed predictable. "Let's Go Mets Go" was composed and produced byShelly Palmer, and lead vocals were performed by Tom Bernfeld, and was released by Vestron Records.[2][3]
A video was also produced, featuring Mets players, coaches and fans, along with a cameo appearance byJoe Piscopo. The video and song was debuted on August 27, 1986, at a game against theSan Diego Padres. The video was produced by Vestron Video, who released it on VHS with a "making of" of the music video included.[3][4][5]
