Introduction to New Jersey Drone Playlist

Greetings and welcome to Inside Baseball with Old Chestnut. I'm Liam Allen. Without my friend, more sex. MB's out in Scottsdale. We have a time conflict today, so we couldn't get on the same page. And we had an overwhelming response on Twitter asking for a new jersey.

Playlist Theme and Featured Artists

drone theme playlist. So without further ado, the best of the best from the Garden State and the best of the best in aviation song. Okay? Everybody on this list, every song on this list is associated with New Jersey or drones. Okay. I got Bruce, I got Bon Jovi, I got Whitney Houston, I got Pink Floyd, I got Iron Maiden. I got Warren Zevon live in New Jersey. Okay? So this is the Essential New Jersey drone playlist. We'll start with Whitney Houston. Amen.

Whitney Houston's National Anthem Performance

Whitney Houston, our national anthem. God bless America, the great old USA. Possibly the people behind the drones. Who knows? Thank you, Whitney. Opening the show. All right, let's take to the skies.

Cheap Trick and Pink Floyd Soar

Cheap trick. Okay? Take me on your mighty wings. I mean, it doesn't get any better than that. Until you get to this. And this doesn't need any introduction. All right. Pink Floyd learning to fly. Had to

Warren Zevon's New Jersey Connections

It's a great song. All right, let's go to New Jersey. And Warren Zon is not from Jersey, but he claims New Jersey and he's friends with Bruce who's from New Jersey. And this song was recorded at the Capitol Theater in New Jersey. So out of respect for Warren, let's go. Thank you.

Bon Jovi: The Quintessential Jersey Sound

By law, by law, you gotta play the Bon Jovi. Yeah. Hate it or love it, that's New Jersey. And I and that song's awesome. It'll it was awesome. It still is. It's a little long. But that's that's Bon Jovi. That that song rocks. He rocks. All right, let's go back in this guy.

Tom Petty Learning to Fly

All right, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Learning to Fly. Tom Petty's catalog you can put up against anybody. Um he's, I mean, just top-notch musician, storyteller, artist. Alright, I got another one. Some people everybody feels some type of way about this song. And everybody feels some type of way about this guy. But this is a New Jersey song, take it or leave it.

Bob Dylan's Powerful Hurricane

Wow. All right. Bob Dylan, Hurricane. That's a heavy song and they don't make songs like that anymore. That is uh that belongs in the Smithsonian. Okay? That is a that is a serious song.

Lightening Up with Looking Glass

So let's lighten it up. We're still we're staying in New Jersey. Let's stick with Jersey. Let's have some fun here with a deep donkey. Deep Donkey covers this, okay? The legendary rock band. Don't Google it. Deep Donkey. Let's lighten things up. We'll stay in New Jersey.

Randy by Looking Glass from Jersey. All right. How good is that song? Okay. If you hear that song and you don't feel better and you don't want to get up and dance with your wife or girlfriend, something it it's on you. Something's wrong with you.

Bruce Springsteen: The State's Anthem

Alright, and I got another one. This is a Jersey classic. And I know people feel strongly about Bruce. My wife hates Bruce. But I know a lot of people like Bruce. So let's do it. All right, I mean that's Bruce, Max, Clarence, little Steven. I mean, it doesn't get better than that if you're from New Jersey. That could be the that could be the state song. All right. And I think Bruce is probably the biggest out of New Jersey, uh, but a second close by far.

Whitney Houston vs Taylor Swift

Yeah, so there you go. That's that she's she's the best the best to ever do it. Okay? The best female vocalist to ever do it. So all you fucking clowns out there paying five thousand dollars to go see that Fembot, Taylor Swift? You're embarrassing yourself and you're doing your children and your daughters a disservice.

Sit your daughter down and have her learn Whitney's library, okay? Taylor Swift is a joke. She's a manufactured plastic pop star that is not a musician or an artist, doesn't have pipes like Whitney. It's th this is the the the slow descent and decay of art and music. As you can see, like these are timeless classic

compared to the trash that's out there now. But yeah, I just wanted to take a minute to bash taut Taylor Swift compared to Whitney Houston. You listen to Whitney do the anthem, you listen to Whitney do that. I mean this is this is n they're they're not com not comparable, okay? Now I'm fired up.

Iron Maiden's Aces High Live

All right. You get the idea. This next one, this is for Anthony Peters, and this is for Morris. So we're gonna stay in the sky. All right, like I said, it's for Anthony and more. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never Aces high. Wow. Dude Maiden Live. I saw Maiden Live in New Jersey.

Okay, so that that's how authentic this list is. I have seen Maiden live in New Jersey in the in the drone territory in Newark and Maiden blew the roof off of that place. Yeah, so th they're an automat that that song is automatic. You got Winston Churchill in the beginning, okay.

Werewolves of New Jersey

Nineteen eighty four, Iron Maiden, Ace is high. All right. And s since I'm gonna do talking about live performances in Jersey, I'm gonna use that as another excuse and I'm gonna play another Warren Zevon song. 'Cause I'm just obsessed with Warren Zevon lately. Alright. Werewolves of New Jersey. You know I have observed in my travels Got your werewolves in London. Got your werewolves in Pasadena. Got your Peter Wolf from Boston where we played last night. But there's only one. of new jersey.

Journey to Outer Space with Phish

All right, let's go to outer space. All right. Let's go back to space. All right. Speaking of outer space. I waited this long. I didn't give you any fish. But since Trey and Paige are both from Jersey, we're gonna do the two thousand one Space Odyssey. Let's go. There's another there's there's eleven more minutes, but you get the idea. Alright? Well there's eleven more minutes of it, you but but but you get the idea. Okay? I think you get the idea. Let's do one more Jersey classic.

Bon Jovi's Timeless Hit Revisited

I don't make the rules, folks. But that by far has the most numbers, the most views on YouTube. 1.2 billion for John Bon Jovi from the great state of New Jersey off that whole list. That's got the most 1.2 billion. I mean that was a special song, a special time. That song is timeless, weddings, parties. Forget it. If you hate that song, it's on you again. Fucking haters. How could you hate that song? That song rocks. Alright.

More Warren Zevon Favorites

I'm gonna go back to another live performance in Jersey. It's my song and this is one my show. This is one of my favorites, so I'm gonna give you two more from Warren, and then we'll wrap. I don't know, this one character he just don't seem to wanna die. All right.

Daughter's Favorite Song and Drones

One more. One more. All right. I'm gonna do one more. It's my daughter's favorite song. I'm gonna play it for her. All right. There you go. New Jersey's greatest hit. We all know who the drones are, folks. Let's be serious. Anyone that's driven uh across the top of the New Jersey Turnpike, anyone that's commuted to MetLife Stadium or in and out of the greater New Jersey area from the Newark area to Manhattan where you can see the skyline.

and you've passed all the industrial wasteland sprawling plants and energy and Newark Airport, you can understand why they would pick that to fly uh our government surveillance drones. to watch the port of Newark. So if the story about them looking for weapons is true

Uh that's obviously what it is. Where else are you gonna do it? You can't do it over Vermont. There's nothing in the sky up there. You go to New Jersey, mm, half the world's not paying attention and you can fly the drones up there and get away with it for about a month or so, you know? So And it's been fun. If you like the songs, inside baseballcast at gmail. If you don't like the songs, can't believe you sat and listened to them for 90 minutes today. We'll be back.
