FanHouse MookieWilson

After we brought you the 1986 Mets singing and dancing, we have yet more evidence of musical talent from that team ... more specifically, Keith Hernandez and Mookie Wilson making a cameo for a Sesame Street Pledge Drive special from 1988. There are many great guest spots from outside the world of sports included also, including Pee Wee Herman and the late John Candy. Keith and Mookie appear at the 1:47 mark, and members of the New York Football Giants (Sean Landeta, Karl Nelson, Mark Ingram, and Carl Banks) are featured at around the 3:37 mark.

Enjoy, and put down that duckie.

Random You Tube: Lets Go Mets Go

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.
