Ah 1986 ... the days of Iran Contra, ALF, and the New York Mets, who swore, drank, and pillaged their way into your hearts. Oh yeah, and they won the world championship as well (which is how their swearing, drinking, and pillaging became public knowledge).
They were music stars as well, as August of that year saw the debut of "Lets Go Mets Go", their response to the Chicago Bears who starred in "The Super Bowl Shuffle" earlier that season. Check out not only the players clowning around, but the celebrity cameos near the end, including Tony Bennett, Dr. Joyce Brothers, and a very young (and very hairy) Howard Stern. Joe Piscopo made a memorable cameo as well. Piscopo recently admitted he was a life-long Yankee fan, which basically means that I can never look at this video quite the same again. But it's still a fun watch.
holy crap LET'S GO METS GO!!!! I remember this so clearly, I was in second grade. One of my classmates got to go to the tickertape parade and I had no idea what "tickertape" was. He told me it was the little holed strips you tear off the sides of paper after it comes out of the computer printer. Man, those were the days.

The human bobblehead thing was the lamest and yet most awesome thing I've seen in weeks all at the same time.
