They'll no longer play NEW YORK, NEW YORK. (See below.)
Here's your suggested playlist:
Poor Poor Pitiful Me (Warren Zevon)
Alone Again, Naturally (Gilbert O'Sullivan)
Send Lawyers Guns and Money (Warren Zevon)
Don't They Know It's the End of the World? (Skeeter Davis)
Loser (Beck)
Lonesome Loser (Little River Band)
Won't Get Fooled Again (The Who)
I'm a Loser (Beatles)
It's the End of the World as We Know It (R.E.M.)
Why Me Lord? (Kris Kristopherson)
Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton)
It's Too Late (Carol King)
Dust In the Wind (Kansas)
Crying (Roy Orbison)
Meet the Mets (traditional)
You play either "Satisfaction," "Paint It Black," "I Want To Be Sedated," "I Need a Fix Cause I'm Going Down" or just a plain and simple "I'm So Bored With The USA" by the Clash. Or just rotate them. And have I mentioned lately what a total and complete asshole Hal is? And I'm going to KEEP on mentioning that we are having a blog meet up where you can drink, eat, puke and whine, but no hookers - March 28th, late afternoon, an establishment to be named soon. AA and I will be presiding and it would be cool if anybody in the NYC or Tri-State contingent - NOT the Tri-State Commission - could attend. I love you all.
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget “Wake Me Up When September Comes”
ReplyDeleteWith the Yankees it could be Autumn Leaves... Because they always leave by Autumn. Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteDoug, the beard photos are genius. And illustrated for me why I've always been in favor of the clean shaven look.
DeleteBut, things change.
Yakety Sax. Or maybe a remix called Yankees suck?
ReplyDeleteLate to this party but I'd say CANCER by JOE JACKSON
ReplyDeleteYou know, something meaningfully truthful, catchy and upbeat.
DeleteThat said - Hey Bitty.......may I attend this blog meet up that both you and AA are presiding over?
Everything gives you cancer, AA.
DeleteThis is the End by the Doors
ReplyDeleteOr Hal's theme song:
ReplyDelete"Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by the Animals
Hal's b-side theme song:
ReplyDelete"Money" by Pink Floyd
C-side:
DeleteBaby You're a Rich Man by the Beatles
I Don't Care (the Ramones)
ReplyDeleteI Gotta Get Drunk (Willie Nelson)
Take This Job and Shove It (Johnny Paycheck)
Taps
AA: can we pair that with "Money Can't Buy Me Love"?
ReplyDeleteNowhere Man
ReplyDeleteI'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an engineer.
ReplyDeleteHurt - Johnny Cash version
ReplyDeleteHinkey - Yakety Sax is inspired but a little too happy. Probably should have been Gleyber's walk up music.
ReplyDeleteI Wanna Be Your Dog
ReplyDeleteBeing a grateful dead fan, I must suggest Death Don't Have No Mercy. Or if that's not happy enough, Black Peter. Or maybe just 5 minutes of feedback.
ReplyDeleteHard to beat "We Suck", though.
I will send my regrets for the meet up, as I will still be on the far left coast. I will be there in spirit willing to participate in whatever liver damaging game you play. How about a shot every time someone says HAL sucks!? Even if it is beer shots everyone will be blistered by the bottom of the first.
ReplyDeleteHere are my suggestions for the stadium playlist after a Yankee loss (no particular order)
ReplyDeleteDon't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty
Hit the Road, Jack - Ray Charles
Who's Sorry Now - Connie Francis
Throw Up When I See Your Face - Cloudy June
You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - From the Grinch
Queen's Death on Two Legs - Queen
Get The Fuck Out of My House - 2 Live Crew
Loser - Beck
Get a Job - Sillouettes
I lost on Jeopardy - Weird Al Yankovic
Sick Of You - GWAR
I'm a Loser - Beatles
Heroin - Velvet Underground
Taps - General Daniel Butterfield
Doctor T, Loser by Beck gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteI think the rotation idea is best. And one from The Boss: "I'm Goin' Down"...
ReplyDelete...And of course, Dylan's "Positively 4th Street":
ReplyDelete"I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you.
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
Then you'd know what a drag it is to see you."
Or, of course, Bob on "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right":
ReplyDelete"Goodbye is too good a word, babe,
So I'll just say 'fare-thee-well.' "
OR...Sheryl Crow with "I Can't Cry Anymore":
ReplyDelete"...so much for pretending
Cause bad luck's never ending
Now I know that..."
