SoundersBoard Loves Mandy, Do You?

Sugar-voiced teenage Mandy, an American in Argentina, had a couple of hours to kill before going to watch the Sounders preseason practice way back when. So she casually whips up a song about her crush: Evan Brown. It ends up, as so much evidence of our good and bad behaviors do, on YouTube.




What a sweetheart!

Fast-forward to Taylor Graham’s From the Pitch blog on April 10. (Earlier From the Pitch posts offer photos of the bare-chested young crush in question balancing a cabbage on his foot. Love it.)

Taylor wants to get 20K hits on Mandy’s video by June 1. Today’s count is just under 6K, so we’ve got some work to do, Sounders Fans! Have another listen, send it to your friends, and play it at your pregame party! Click, click click!

I fully intended to plug this effort when I thought the campaign might be floundering - maybe next week sometime. But this morning, I did in fact wake up with Mandy's song in my head. I laughed when Taylor Graham claimed that it happened to him. Right. That's cute, Taylor. It's just cute, cute, cute around MLS these days. And yet there it was as I was walking to work: “Evan brown hmmm mm see you frown. Hum ma mmm.”

Plus I thought with Brad Evan’s getting all the cutesy attention from CosmoGirl's (this is linked from the mls.net homepage!?) MLS Feature, maybe Evan Brown was feeling a little left out.

Thanks to SoundersBoard reader “tequilabb” for the reminder to spread the word! You can join the group in support of Mandy here.
