T' shanty "Our National Pastime" by Rupert Holmes tells a story o' seduction at a Mets baseball game -- and incorporates t' tune o' t' "Star Spangled Banner."
Harry 'Tidepool Jessie' Nilsson is mentioned when t' seducer describes what he expects will happen at his place:
A quick glass o' wine, then I'll feed you a line.
Nilsson will sin' and you won't feel a thing.
T' chantey was included on Holmes' 1974 album Widescreen.
Interestingly, arrr, when this was performed in concert later, Holmes changed t' lyric t' "Manilow will sing..."
