Penn State
'Sweet Caroline' BANNED
from Football Sing-a-longs

Neil Diamond's classic "Sweet Caroline" will no longer be played at Penn State football games because the lyrics have been deemed inappropriate ... in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

The song ...with the lyrics, "touching me, touching you" ... has been a traditional fan sing-a-long at Penn State football home games, but school officials have decided to cut it from the playlist -- for obvious reasons.



But here's the thing, tons of pro and college teams -- most famously the Boston Red Sox -- use the song ... which Diamond has said was inspired by a photo of a then 11-year old Caroline Kennedy with her pony.


So we gotta ask -- if the song's inappropriate at PSU's Beaver Stadium, is it inappropriate for all sporting events?

Way to go. Now that song will be sung by every visiting fan base across the nation when they visit Happy Valley.

Remind me to kill myself the next time they release how high the Grad rate is.

I'm guessing it's too early for boatboatboat to come out with his Penn State version of this song.
