Penn State football fans will no longer be singing "Sweet Caroline" while cheering on their Nittany Lions, according to university officials.

Neil Diamond's classic song, often sung at sporting events and particularly at Boston Red Sox baseball games, has been rotated out of the playlist for Beaver Stadium this year.

I presume songs by Queen and Village People and George Michael and Elton John are also off the table?

But they play in “Beaver Stadium”.

“Beaver” Stadium makes a happy valley! ;)

I don't know about other venues, but the funny thing is when they play it at Fenway the only words people know is the chorus. Otherwise the mumble in tune, and make fools of themselves.

Sort of like the Star Spankled Banner for way too many people.

And don't forget Chico Marx' wild rendition of that song in 'Horsefeathers'.
