Some songs never get old. No matter how many years pass, or how many new artists take these to the stage, they still find their way back into our lives. Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline is one of those songs.
It’s been part of singalongs, sports games, wedding receptions and now, dance floors. That’s right, Sweet Caroline has been remixed. And not by just anyone.
The DJ duo known as Two Friends have brought the iconic 1969 anthem into the world of electronic beats and booming speakers. It’s a fresh spin on a timeless tune and people are already loving it. Released on April 3, the remix has started to catch on quickly, with fans dropping enthusiastic comments all over YouTube.
So if you’re wondering whether this new version is a respectful tribute or a rogue edit, it’s the real deal. Check out the song here: The original song made its chart debut in August 1969, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
That was just the start of its long-lasting journey. In March 1971, it reached No. 8 in the UK, and decades later, it was back again.
During the Euro 2020 tournament (held in 2021), English football fans turned it into their unofficial anthem. The crowd singalongs were impossible to miss. As a result, the song climbed back into the UK’s top 20.
Not bad for a track more than 50 years old. Across the Atlantic, Sweet Caroline has been part of baseball tradition for years. Since 2002, Boston Red Sox fans have belted it out during the middle of the eighth inning at every home game.
It’s become a Fenway Park ritual, filled with joy, beer and thousands of voices shouting the chorus, reports Parade. Now, Two Friends have added their own twist to the story. And the internet? Mostly here for it.
“This is so dope!! Well done guys," one fan commented on YouTube. Another said, “What a Beautiful noise!!!!" — a lovely nod to another Diamond classic. “I’ve been to so many of his concerts.
Well done both of you," read a comment. Of course, it wouldn’t be the internet without at least one grumpy voice. “Wow Neil Diamond has become a robot and he hasn’t even died yet," someone wrote.
So now, Sweet Caroline gets to live on – not just in throwback playlists or stadium chants, but on new dance floors..
