The Strokes' Julian Casablancas has said he wants to write a theme for the baseball team the New York Mets.

Casablancas, who recently launched a solo career, said he already had some ideas for the composition.

"My next thing is I want to write the new TV theme song for the Mets,” he told Rolling Stone.

"I'm totally serious - I have some ideas, I have to see if they like it."

Casablancas has been balancing his duties between promoting his debut solo album and performing with The Strokes this summer.

Last month he said the band were still recording their new album, which is due out next March.
