Request Line: Good Riddance

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The PRODUCER sits at his desk, watching youtube videos of fireworks displays.  DJ 3000 remains in his usual location, muttering to himself.

 

PRODUCER: Hey man, sorry that we couldn’t find anything that worked to get those stickers off.

DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

PRODUCER: They’re repainting the Jimmy & The Animal studio next week, we’ll check with the painters and see if they have any tips.

DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

PRODUCER: Or maybe just some extra paint we can slap on top of it.

DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

PRODUCER: Man with an attitude like that you could be coaching the Patriots…or, uh, retired, I guess.

Several of the lights on DJ 3000’s console flash and the fireworks video that the PRODUCER is looking at is supplanted by…

PRODUCER: WHAT??? No fucking way!

DJ 3000: I KNOW, RIGHT?

A different light on DJ 3000’s console begins flashing.

DJ 3000: LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT AN INCOMING CALL, YOU WANT TO TAKE IT?

PRODUCER: Sure, why not.

— —

YEAH RIGHT: Hey guys!

PRODUCER: Oh, hey! Good to see you, how’s it hanging?

YEAH RIGHT: Great, I…[peers through the screen]…hey, DJ 3000, you look different.

DJ 3000: THE STICKERS? YEAH, GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

YEAH RIGHT: No, well, I mean, yeah, but there’s something else…[squints]

The video component of the call suddenly cuts off.

DJ 3000: OH, JEEZ, SORRY ABOUT THAT.  TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

YEAH RIGHT: Can you guys still hear me?

PRODUCER: Yeah, we can hear you.

YEAH RIGHT: I was walking along the coast this morning listening to a podcast about how Britain tossed out their government on the same day that we tossed out their government and was thinking we could do “Good Riddance” as a topic.

DJ 3000: VERY COOL.

PRODUCER: Yeah, I like it.  Got something to get us rolling with?

YEAH RIGHT: Absolutely.  One of the granddaddies of them all.

Today’s theme is “Good Riddance”.  We’re looking for songs about telling people to GO AWAY. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?80!n6o0D and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Don’t Stop” by The Stone Roses was solved by SonOfSpam. Special thanks to Yeah Right for the suggestion of this week’s topic!

Damn. Elon cut out my satellite feed there for a few minutes. I knew I’d made a powerful enemy when I made that off-hand comment about Tesla on Jalopnik six months ago.

Gumbygirl

Jalopnik still exists? Who knew?

Horatio Cornblower

Whenever any of the French players have the ball they would be asking themselves ‘where is Dembele’

Hockey must be a superior game because if there was a scoreless tie there’d be at least one fight because a guy wanted to get his team pumped up.

scotchnaut

Hanson Fan is on the bench?

Horatio Cornblower

Mmmmmmmmbappe?

scotchnaut

Oui.

Horatio Cornblower

God if Portugal loses after Ronaldo missed that gimme I’m gonna have to call my doctor about a 4-hour erection.

scotchnaut

He probably had something on his mind which distracted him like, “I wonder if a single hair on my head is out of place?”.

scotchnaut

“I love a good Super soaker! Wait. Hold on…”

You’re telling me there’s another Southern rock brand that celebrated leaving women behind?

They just referred to a substitute as “more of a game manager,” and it’s nice to know that mediocre white quarterbacks aren’t the only athletes with that label.

scotchnaut

They were probably referring to his role of DND Dungeon Master.

Here’s another. I’m guessing the pilot of the plane was called Mr. Crossbreeze after that certain event.

Who’s here for mid 70’s Canadia AM pop music? (and a bitchin’ afro to boot!)

Horatio Cornblower

We had joy, we had fun/we had streaking in the Sun/but the sun burned our balls/so we out on overalls!

Ah yes, takes me right back to 6th grade.

scotchnaut

This blasphemy will not stand! Terry Jacks was a beloved legend.

SonOfSpam

Ok I learned it thusly

…streakin in the sun
But the cops had the guns
And they shot us in the buns

ballsofsteelandfury

That French fan wearing a TMNT mask works so well in so many levels:

1 Mbappe with his face mask due to the broken nose
2 Mbappe already looks like a frog (as one of his teammates mentioned)
3 The French are referred to as frogs.

Horatio Cornblower

Ok, but none of those things are turtles.

ballsofsteelandfury

Frogs, turtles, same thing.

Mr. Ayo

This game is like my teenage years because it has a frustrating lack of scoring!

Dunstan

Not mine, because there would be a lot of own goals.

scotchnaut
Horatio Cornblower

This Dembele fella just might have a future in soccer.

scotchnaut

This is how Maclean and Maclean ended their performances.

Please do take the time to read the lyrics of this one.

On point with the theme.

Shouldn’t we all be Blair Witching Green Day?

rockingdog

Found a funny:

Using my one Fourth of July wish from the skoal long cut fairy to make professional wrestling real

yeah right

Fuck me. I’m late because, yes, I’m at fucking work today!
I think this song by The Cure fits the theme well.

Is the keyboard dude letting his late 70’s nerd flag fly by wearing a Star Trek shirt? A question that may never be answered.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I would like to say goodbye to the 20 pounds and counting I have lost so far. Buddy got hurt at a job in mid-May and in the process realized that I needed to lose weight and just get my shit together.

I quit my night time job that I hated, and now just have a day job with more freedom and time. Walking at least 4 miles and day and doing some sort of supplemental fitness in cycling and weights (Jesus Christ, even yoga) I feel better and more confident than ever before.

Honesty the amount of time that I was spending on my phone was fucking me up mentally, so I decided to scale that back a lot.

For real just walk. And do physical therapy with a little middle-aged lady who is a third your weight with abs of steel.

rockingdog

That’s ROCKINGGGG!

King Hippo

Even if there’s less of you to love, good to see ya before Jest season saps your will to live!

2Pack

Well done Sir

Mr. Ayo

Great job! I’ve started walking to and from work and it’s making a world of difference.

scotchnaut

Showing up consistently late has improved the company’s performance?

Mr. Ayo

According to my self written performance reviews, absolutely!

yeah right

Fantastic work.

The walk is what saved me.

Walk. IS. Life.

Game Time Decision

I’d totes do yoga if I had someone to go with me. I’m about as flexible as a 2×4 with the smarts to match.
Awesome job and keep putting in the work

Gumbygirl

Wow, good for you!

SonOfSpam

No argument here. That’s a fun topic!

King Hippo

Good Christ, this week. Assdick USMNT getting knocked tha FUCK OUT was only good thing that happened. Great topic, as always good Mr. Deadly.

You don’t hear this at sporting events much any more. We lost something.

I prefer Gary Glitter.

Weird, FBI guy at the door.

I’m pretty sure I saw them in a beach bar in New Jersey many years ago, but I was epically drunk, as one should be in New Jersey.

He’s busy walking from Hermosa Beach to Pismo Beach.

SonOfSpam

He’s a man of wealth and taste.

Mr. Ayo

It’s like May 7, 1945 all over again

SonOfSpam

Why, was that a Friday too?

SonOfSpam

You hate to see ghouls making each other sad.

Mr. Ayo

Let me check…

Mr. Ayo

Worse! It was a Monday!

ballsofsteelandfury

Let’s all pour out a 40 for TWBS….

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I was just thinking of him too. And he would be distraught if this didn’t get posted.
