Request Line: Title Tracks

INT. NEW YORK JETS TRAINING FACILITY – DAY

A pair of men are standing outside an office, inspecting the name plate that is mounted on the wall.

JANITOR: So…you want it changed again.

ADAM GASE: That’s right.

JANITOR: But…

GASE: Listen, the hierarchy here is…fluid.

JANITOR: Okay.

GASE: And it’s important that my title here accurately reflects my true role with the team.

JANITOR: Sure.

GASE: If players – and more importantly, assistant coaches – get the wrong idea about how things are structured, they could get…confused. About who is truly in charge here.

JANITOR: Isn’t that…Mr. Johnson?

GASE: Sure, in London, maybe. But here in New York…

JANITOR: New Jersey.

GASE: …the New York State Metropolitan Area…I am calling the shots. And I need the title on this doorway to reflect that.

JANITOR: You don’t think “head coach” gets it done?

GASE: I do not.

JANITOR: Well now that Joe Douglas has signed on, the “general manager” plate has got to go.

GASE: Give me one that says “Executive General Manager”.

JANITOR: No.

GASE: Director of Football Operations.

JANITOR: Sorry, Doctor Montgomery has already claimed that.

GASE: [losing his temper] LISTEN! I AM IN CHARGE HERE! ME! ADAM GASE! YOU FIND A TITLE FOR ME THAT SAYS AS MUCH AND YOU DO IT NOW!

JANITOR: [backs away slowly]

Today’s theme is “title tracks”. You are allowed five picks of songs whose titles were also used as the name of the album that they were from. I’ll get us started with one from Radiohead.

Banger of a tune, banger of an album:

I’m over the limit but this is an oversight that I can’t ignore-“This Is The Sea” by The Waterboys.

5. There are a lot of good ones still on the board, but I;m gonna close out with this one.

5. What’d I Say

And like Boltman after his lightning has been rode, I’m spent.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT BOLTMAN TELLS ALL THE HUMAN FEMALES.

Hell yes.

I can see myself choking on my own vomit…

3. Yeah, it’s Dad Rock, but I like it

theeWeeBabySeamus

Had to.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

3. This is one of those Request Line’s where I’m really not worried of anyone stealing any of my picks. But you should strap on a jetpack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_ZrtGi4Ouo

scotchnaut

Gonna have to go off the beaten track. This is Dread Zeppelin off their album ‘Rock and Roll’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl0Dm_A-jxo

theeWeeBabySeamus

Iggy Pop is probably wondering why his phone keeps beeping.
Just saying.

Ian Scott McCormick

I’ll go one further. A track that is the name of the song, the name of the album, and the name of the band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5GXbk58R0

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nice

Ian Scott McCormick

Ironically the only version that I could find was a remaster off of a best of album, but trust me, they did a whole album and everything

2. I mean come on

“Done!” – PK

Peter King’s version is titled Born to Waddle.

Ian Scott McCormick

Well if nobody else is going to suggest it

Waiting for you to post a Pussy Riot or Tatu song.

theeWeeBabySeamus

lmfao

LemonJello

Imma mellow the room just a tad:

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I was actually surprised in the end that this wasn’t the title track of the post.

SonOfSpam

“I was actually surprised in the end…”

Are we not doing phrasing any more?

theeWeeBabySeamus

RIP you magnificent weirdo, Part Deux.

“Wait…he was a musician???”

J. Sandusky

theeWeeBabySeamus

In spite of his endings and shortcomings, the man was a musical genius. Please acknowledge..

scotchnaut

“I want to be like scotchy.”

-Pretty much everybody

theeWeeBabySeamus

RIP you magnificent weirdo.

DUDE

I mean, you don’t really even have to scroll much.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I always do bad when i arrive late.
That means i got two more.

LemonJello

Huh, Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy isn’t even on the album that shares its title. Guess I’ll go with one of my other favorites then:

SonOfSpam

1. Since I copied scotchy’s last pick, this is my first selection…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmU4Xyl00hY

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dammit, that’s where I was going next.

SonOfSpam

Those first 3 albums are all so great.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I wore out the vinyl and the cd’s aren’t in great shape anymore either.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You knew this was coming….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9NFs7qPwuk

theeWeeBabySeamus

And of course we’ll double it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp-XXRAZaAw

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I didn’t, but I am pleasantly surprised.

SonOfSpam

Yeah, was kinda expecting Florida-Georgia Line or something equally horrid.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dude. I would punch those guys given the chance.
They are horrible.

SonOfSpam

This is a good musical opinion.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

When I was at the dentist yesterday, two people drilled my mouth while Florida George Line and Imagine Dragons played. I feel very violated.

SonOfSpam

Holy fuck, that’s some next-level Nazi torture shit.

SonOfSpam

Also, probably the third time this week two people have drilled your mouth.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Beer doesn’t pay for itself.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

1. Here’s Low Commander to pick another song from whatever the latest Clutch album out is.

scotchnaut

Hope Spam doesn’t pick this one. Here’s Fear of a Black Planet.

Sounds like the GOP Manifesto.

1) Forty years later, still fucking relevant

scotchnaut

We should go out-we’ve got a lot in common.

SonOfSpam

Ok, but I don’t like Indian food or butt stuff.

scotchnaut

I’ll be gentle-with the spices and the insertions.

LET’S GO! Lust for life from the album…
