Neil Diamond’s 1969 tune “Sweet Caroline” has become far more than just a hit: Over the decades, it’s evolved into a rousing sing-along across the world. With it’s “so good, so good, so good” echoed refrain, it has long been the Boston Red Sox’s anthem at Fenway Park and been adopted by other teams, including the NFL’s Carolina Panthers.

Inspired by a young Caroline Kennedy, the song is sure to lead to audience participation in Song Sung Blue, the forthcoming Focus Features film starring Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman as a husband and wife who form a Diamond tribute act. The movie is based on the true story of Milwaukee couple Mike Sardina and Claire Stengl, who performed as Thunder & Lightning. Director Craig Brewer based his film on the same-named 2008 documentary about the couple.
