They really should have played Steve Goodman's "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request" at some point.

"Hey Ernie, let's play two!" is part of the lyrics.

Also to be found in the lyrics is, for those of you who remember him, "...and watch Keith Moreland drop a routine fly."
"Music is the Earth, People are the Flowers, and I am the Hose."

--Carlos Santana, 2010
