"D-O-D-G-E-R-S (Oh, Really? No, O'Malley!)" is a song by Danny Kaye on the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball. Released as a single, the song was included in the Baseball's Greatest Hits album, released in 1989.
Kaye, a lifelong Dodgers fan and baseball fanatic, wrote the lyrics to the song while the arrangement was done by Pete King. Sylvia Fine and Herbert Baker composed the music. The song is set during the heated 1962 pennant race betweeen the Dodgers and their rivals the 1962. It describes a fictitious encounter between the two teams which the Dodgers end up winning. [1]
