Mayor de Blasio sang the blues Friday over the Mets World Series loss – literally.
To make good on bet with Kansas City Mayor Sly James, Hizzoner donned a Royals jersey and sang an ode to the World Series victors – the 1950s blues tune “Kansas City.”
“OK Mayor James, a bet is a bet,” de Blasio says to launch the 2-minute video, wearing sunglasses and a dark fedora. “I’m the mayor of the greatest city in the world but right now I gotta take a trip to Kansas City.”
Young dancers of the American Ballet Theater add much-needed backing vocals – as well as a helpful distraction.
