Penn State Bans "Sweet Caroline"

The atmosphere at Penn State University  is so sensitive that Beaver Stadium's traditional sing-along of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" is going to be a thing of the past because of its touchy lyrics.

According to the Altoona Mirror, Penn State is eliminating Neil Diamond’s "Sweet Caroline" from its
playlist for football games this season because the song features the lyric "touching me, touching you."


University officials are uneasy about the prospect of a stadium packed with 100,000-plus spectators singing the lyrics as the school tries to move forward from the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal.
