The song became so popular among Red Sox Fans that the Farrelly Brothers appropriated it in their 2005 film '' Fever Pitch '' starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore . ''Fever Pitch'' recounts the season leading up to the Red Sox victory in the 2004 World Series . It is hard to figure where the song's beginnings in the ballpark were, but there are many theories. ''Sweet Caroline'' was adopted as an anthem for Reading Football Club at the end of its 2005-2006 Premiership promotion winning season, first being played as the players entered the Stadium for their final game of the season at home to Queens Park Rangers (a match that the Royals won 2-1 to claim an English league record points total of 106). It was subsequently used during the team’s lap of honour and the next day’s Bank Holiday promotion party. Its use stems from a break the Reading squad took to Marbella, Spain before the QPR match, where the song became the anthem of the trip for the players who then requested its use before the final game. The chorus of ''“Good times never seemed so good”'' was seen as apt after the club achieved promotion to the top tier of English football for the first time in its mostly unsuccessful 135-year history. In the UK and Ireland , ''Sweet Caroline'' is a popular song at weddings. In Ireland, in December 2001 , a dance version by Dustin The Turkey reached Number 1 in the singles charts, his last Number 1 hit to date. It was also covered by the Punk Music band Me First And The Gimme Gimmes on their '' Have A Ball ''. ''Sweet Caroline'' ''Good times never seemed so good'' ''So good, so good, so good'' ''I've been inclined'' ''To believe they never would'' EXTERNAL LINKS
