The Philadelphia Phillies have made a habit of celebrating big clinching victories and postseason wins with the dance smash “Dancing On My Own.”
But Harper — and all the Phillies — needed to hear the song to really believe the playoff berth was real. Philadelphia had to play the anthem that shot to No. 1 on their 2022 postseason party playlist, only to get forced into a brief retirement.
When the opening chords of the piano-led lyrics were heard over the sound system moments after the team clinched a wild-card spot, Phillies fans erupted in joy. Quickly, the melody transitioned into the powerful chorus, and the sing-along, from the 30,000 fans at Citizens Bank Park down to the Phillies in their postseason sweatshirts jumping along on the infield kicked into overdrive.“I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her I’m right over here, why can’t you see me? .
“You have to,” Harper said Tuesday night inside a booze-soaked clubhouse. “You play for the Phillies, that song is going to be here.”Garrett Stubbs — the backup catcher-slash-team DJ-slash-— simply said the Calum Scott song was a “banger” that needed to be added to the postgame playlist.
No matter how the cover of a song originally performed by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn landed in Philly, the song was an instant hit.“Dancing” was last year’s rallying cry and — as some Phillies noted in spring training — a runner-up song after the Phillies fell to the Houston Astros in six games in the World Series.spring training hype videoThen the Phillies got off to a sluggish start.
Of course, the charming part is this — no one actually dances alone in the clubhouse. The Phillies usually stomp around and spray beer andplay the song“I think the memories created with the song on the run we had was real,” outfielder Nick Castellanos said after the clincher. “I also think the city being able to be in on the song was also real. To be able to clinch and put it back on and have the city get just as excited as us means it’s real. And real is beautiful.
