BOSTON — The soundtrack of a baseball clubhouse tends to follow a predictable pattern, its beat sticking mostly with hip-hop, country, rock and Latin music. But when video clips emerged in recent weeks of the Boston Red Sox celebrating various playoff milestones, what stood out was the players’ enthusiasm — and full-throated singalong — to a melancholic club song from a Swedish pop star.
Or, more accurately, a Dutch DJ’s remix of a British singer’s cover of the Swedish pop star’s melancholic club song.
The Swedish star, Robyn, first wrote and performed the hit, “Dancing on My Own,” in April 2010.
