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.

Don’t forget “Wake Me Up When September Comes”

Doug K. said...

With the Yankees it could be Autumn Leaves... Because they always leave by Autumn. Heh heh.

Hinkey Haines said...

Yakety Sax. Or maybe a remix called Yankees suck?

Late to this party but I'd say CANCER by JOE JACKSON

AboveAverage said...

You know, something meaningfully truthful, catchy and upbeat.

That said - Hey Bitty.......may I attend this blog meet up that both you and AA are presiding over?

This is the End by the Doors

DickAllen said...

Or Hal's theme song:

"Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by the Animals

DickAllen said...

Hal's b-side theme song:

"Money" by Pink Floyd

AboveAverage said...

C-side:
Baby You're a Rich Man by the Beatles

Stang said...

I Don't Care (the Ramones)
I Gotta Get Drunk (Willie Nelson)
Take This Job and Shove It (Johnny Paycheck)
Taps

DickAllen said...

AA: can we pair that with "Money Can't Buy Me Love"?

Doug, the beard photos are genius. And illustrated for me why I've always been in favor of the clean shaven look.

But, things change.

JM said...

Everything gives you cancer, AA.

Hurt - Johnny Cash version

Doug K. said...

Hinkey - Yakety Sax is inspired but a little too happy. Probably should have been Gleyber's walk up music.

Alibi Ike said...

I Wanna Be Your Dog

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Being 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.

Hard to beat "We Suck", though.
