Calum Scott says he never would have guessed his version of a song about a lonely, heartbroken person would become a postseason anthem for a team in America. But the English singer is ready to come to Philadelphia and sing "Dancing on My Own" should the Phillies win the World Series.
Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber took the song with him from his days in the Red Sox clubhouse and it became an instant postgame favorite. Garrett Stubbs, the popular backup catcher and clubhouse DJ, called the song a “banger” that shot to the top of the postgame playlist that includes remixes of “Believe,” “Cold Heart” and “Love Tonight” by Shouse.“I’ve heard it a lot. I kind of like it,” he said.
“Dancing” was last year’s rallying cry and — as some Phillies noted in spring training — a runner-up song after they fell to the Astros in six games in the World Series. It was retired until a slow start this season prompted them to break out “Dancing” in June and — amazingly — the good vibes and winning streaks soon returned.
Scott laughed when he said he tried to keep up — rather, stay up — for the games, but the 5-hour time difference often made that impossible. Scott wakes up tagged on social media in videos that show Phillies players singing and fans partying. Scott rattled off all the hashtags that pop up on his social feeds — #ringthebell, #redoctober, #dancingonmyown — that show Philly just having a blast to his song.
