WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.819 This is Frankie Tank from Barstool Sports. You're 00:00:02.819 --> 00:00:05.459 listening to My Weekly Mixtape with Brian Colburn. 00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.419 You know, when we took tests at Monaco State, 00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:13.960 he was taking the inches off my paper. Welcome 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:25.519 to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that takes the 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.440 classic mixtape approach. to building a modern 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.379 playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn. Joining 00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:34.060 me for tonight's collaboration is a college classmate 00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:37.179 of mine, Montclair State University Class of 00:00:37.179 --> 00:00:40.299 2000. But the rest of the world knows him as 00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:43.100 Frank the Tank Fleming from Barstool Sports. 00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:46.159 Frank, it's great to see you, man. Good to have 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.119 you on. Well, it's great to be on. Great to see 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.340 a former Montclairian here at the Dumont Television 00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:55.979 Center where we took a lot of classes there. 00:00:56.409 --> 00:00:58.390 Oh, hell yeah, man. Montclair State University 00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:02.369 was an amazing experience for me. The Dumonters, 00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:04.950 as I've lovingly referred to them for the last 00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:08.189 20 -something years. I've met some of the greatest 00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:11.420 people I will ever know. through that department 00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:15.260 and made friends for life. And I still try to 00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:17.159 keep in touch with as many people from our class 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.560 as possible. I'm so glad that you and I have 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.780 been able to keep in touch over the years. I 00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.260 actually remember a class that you, Bob, and 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:29.280 I had, which was Electronic Journalism 101. You 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.560 know, I posted the shenanigans on campus, the 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.599 rat hole. Yes. Everywhere you look, there's garbage. 00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:41.180 Yes, yes. I posted it on my YouTube channel, 00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:43.879 and I actually put it on Barstool, and that got 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.640 hit. Who knew 20 -something years ago when we 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.299 were recording that that that would become a 00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:56.180 YouTube viral video? All right. And for the mixtapers 00:01:56.180 --> 00:01:58.219 out there who have no clue what Frank and I are 00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:01.040 talking about, I am going to embed this video 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.079 over at the Stadium Anthems page at myweeklymixtape 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.959 .com so you could see exactly what we're talking 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.219 about. Well, Frank, I like to start every episode 00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:14.039 of this show by asking the same question. And 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.800 now I'm a music guy and you're a sports guy. 00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:19.520 So I'll be very curious to hear where you stand 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.289 on this. What does the word mixtape? mean to 00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:26.610 you when it comes to music? Well, it's something 00:02:26.610 --> 00:02:30.310 that you don't hear much anymore. Now everyone 00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:33.830 has the MP3s and their phones and their lists 00:02:33.830 --> 00:02:36.229 on that, but when we were growing up, we had 00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:39.750 to have actual cassette tape that we used albums 00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:43.169 or recorded things off the radio to try to come 00:02:43.169 --> 00:02:46.129 up with the perfect bunch of your songs before 00:02:46.129 --> 00:02:48.449 even they had downloading, before you even had 00:02:48.449 --> 00:02:52.240 MP Napster. And that was the evil Napster that 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.219 you're talking about, not the good Napster that 00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:56.419 came along years after when they went legit. 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.539 Well, tonight, Frank and I will be curating a 00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:03.139 mixtape of stadium anthems. You know these songs. 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.620 These are the songs that keep the house a -rockin' 00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.919 during every football, basketball, hockey, or 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.479 baseball game you've ever attended, from the 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.800 peewee leagues all the way up to the majors. 00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:16.159 So there'll be no deep cuts here tonight, unless... 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:19.360 Perhaps you know a song only by the music itself 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.979 and not the name. Then there might be a gray 00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:24.699 area. But for the most part, everybody listening 00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:26.740 is going to know all the songs we're talking 00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:29.520 about tonight. Frank, considering you've been 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.740 to as many sporting events in your life as I've 00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:36.199 been to concerts in my life, what were you looking 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.419 for in the songs that you've brought to the table 00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:41.060 this evening? I'm looking for either songs that 00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:43.759 are like pump the crowd up or songs that are 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.629 almost like. associated with a team. Excellent, 00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:49.789 and I'm on the same wavelength as you for that, 00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:52.110 so let's just get down to business. Tonight, 00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:55.150 as I mentioned, Frank and I are curating a Stadium 00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:57.530 Anthems mixtape, and we're going to use that 00:03:57.530 --> 00:03:59.449 old cassette deck approach like Frank talked 00:03:59.449 --> 00:04:01.689 about at the beginning, meaning our mixtape is 00:04:01.689 --> 00:04:04.330 going to be broken up into two sides, side A 00:04:04.330 --> 00:04:07.490 and side B. Frank, as the special guest, will 00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:10.189 begin side A with his first song choice, and 00:04:10.189 --> 00:04:12.590 then I'll add a song that I feel best follows 00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:15.169 up his choice. We'll then flip -flop choosing 00:04:15.169 --> 00:04:19.350 songs until we've matched. We'll then give our 00:04:19.350 --> 00:04:22.069 mixtape a proverbial flip and we'll map out side 00:04:22.069 --> 00:04:25.009 B, only this time I'll kick things off and Frank 00:04:25.009 --> 00:04:27.649 will choose second. Overall, our goal for this 00:04:27.649 --> 00:04:30.610 episode is to craft the best Stadium Anthems 00:04:30.610 --> 00:04:34.389 mixtape possible through only 20 songs. At the 00:04:34.389 --> 00:04:36.009 end of the show, you can take our conversation 00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:39.129 to the next level by visiting the Stadium Anthems 00:04:39.129 --> 00:04:42.509 page at myweeklymixtape .com and give our final 00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:45.129 mixtape a listen. via the embedded playlist. 00:04:45.629 --> 00:04:47.470 Finally, if you like what you're hearing on the 00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:50.430 show, please consider becoming a Patreon mixtaper 00:04:50.430 --> 00:04:54.189 at patreon .com forward slash My Weekly Mixtape. 00:04:54.490 --> 00:04:57.129 Now, before we press record, we got some chimings 00:04:57.129 --> 00:04:59.529 from the mixtapers out there who follow me at 00:04:59.529 --> 00:05:03.089 My Weekly Mixtape on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, 00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:05.449 and TikTok. And they're chiming in what they 00:05:05.449 --> 00:05:08.470 feel would best kick off a sports and stadium 00:05:08.470 --> 00:05:11.730 anthems mixtape. But first and foremost, Patreon 00:05:11.730 --> 00:05:14.490 playlister Cactus Pete chimed in with four different 00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:17.649 options. One of them being Two Unlimited's Twilight 00:05:17.649 --> 00:05:22.529 Zone, Van Halen's Panama, Blur's Song 2, and 00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:25.949 Queen's We Will Rock You. Elsewhere, Music Rewind 00:05:25.949 --> 00:05:28.629 podcast said that this type of event is the sole 00:05:28.629 --> 00:05:33.689 reason Europe's the final countdown exists. Simon 00:05:33.689 --> 00:05:36.329 Evans chimed in with either the Dropkick Murphys' 00:05:36.370 --> 00:05:39.250 I'm Shipping Up to Boston or Spiderbait's cover 00:05:39.250 --> 00:05:42.529 of Black Betty. Seven Rocklists, who's chiming 00:05:42.529 --> 00:05:45.589 in from Australia, chimed in with Spiderbait's 00:05:45.589 --> 00:05:48.370 Footy. That's two Spiderbait songs in a row. 00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:51.189 Pretty damn cool. John from Movie Lovers, TV 00:05:51.189 --> 00:05:54.449 Lovers Unite chimed in with a full -sized mixtape, 00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:57.180 which is... Absolutely awesome. But he kicked 00:05:57.180 --> 00:05:59.699 things off with ACDC's For Those About to Rock, 00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:03.800 We Salute You, as did Seeker 11th and Jim Santora. 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.959 Rabbit Cat chimed in with the Black Eyed Peas, 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.360 Let's Get It Started. Every rom -com is in lockstep 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.879 with Patreon Playlist or Cactus Pea because they 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.519 chimed in with Queens, We Will Rock You. Coach 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.360 Fisher chimed in with ACDC's Thunderstruck. Eric, 00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:23.379 time to get ill, chimed in with the White Stripes, 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.560 Seven Nation Army, the Project Football podcast 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.259 out of the UK, who also provided a full blown 00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:34.079 mixtape sized playlist. Again, thank you. I love 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:37.139 that. He chimed in with Oasis's Rock and Roll 00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:40.259 Star. And finally, Derek Caravue chimed in with 00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:44.160 Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train. OK, so let's officially 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.620 press the record button on this mixtape, Frank. 00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:50.860 You're at Citi Field. The 2023 Major League Baseball 00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:54.180 season is about to start. What song do you want 00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:57.759 to hear first as we kick off Side A? Well, I'm 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.480 actually going to not go to Citi Field for this 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.420 one. Okay. I'm going to go back in time for this 00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:06.860 one. And this might be kind of a deep track. 00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:08.439 A lot of people don't know the title of the song. 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.519 It's by the Allen. Parsons Project. I call this 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:18.339 the Alan Parsons Project. The name of the song 00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:22.259 is Serious. Yes! Not many people know the title 00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:24.759 of it, but you hear it, and the first thing you 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.720 start thinking, Haggard 6 '6", from North Carolina, 00:07:30.019 --> 00:07:36.560 Michael Jordan. Hell yeah, the 1990 Chicago Bulls 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.759 fame. How do you not know that song? And that 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.540 has to be the lead off song. It has to be the 00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.839 first song. It was the pregame introduction for 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.480 the Bulls. It has to be the first song. I absolutely 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.800 love it. That was on my list. 1982's Eye in the 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.259 Sky. To me, that is a great entry song. And I 00:07:56.259 --> 00:07:57.939 already know what I'm going to follow that up 00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:01.379 with. And it's another. kind of opening entry 00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:04.660 song that, again, is a deep cut for this band. 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:06.339 Because when you think about this band, this 00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:08.660 is not normally the first song everybody thinks 00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:11.699 of. And I'm going to go with the amazing classic 00:08:11.699 --> 00:08:14.459 rock group known as The Who. And I'm going to 00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:17.560 go off 1982's It's Hard. And I'm going to go 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.139 with Eminence Front. And everybody knows that 00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:25.079 song because it's been used in countless stadiums 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.199 that I've been at games. But they never get to 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.740 the actual lyrics. They only play the opening. 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:36.659 So everybody knows the... And it's kind of building 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:39.320 that energy up that you did from Sirius and kind 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.960 of keeping that energy going. The teams are coming 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.059 out onto the field. People are starting to get 00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:46.419 psyched up. You're not quite at full throttle 00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:48.720 energy yet. You're not fully hyped, but you're 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.039 definitely getting there. And this is one of 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.879 the ways to get to that point. I remember during 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.940 the 2006 season, the Mets would use that. When 00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:59.659 he announced the starting lineup. Exactly. It's 00:08:59.659 --> 00:09:01.279 one of those kind of get things going. You're 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.000 getting the blood flowing. People are coming 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.539 out onto the field. The game's about to start. 00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:08.379 I feel like coming out of Sirius, it kind of 00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:11.220 gives you two big buildups to get this mixtape 00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:14.580 started. But maybe even more important than the 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:17.620 game is the challenge of figuring out what song 00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:21.919 do you follow up Sirius and Eminence front with. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.309 Frank, that challenge goes back to you. I think 00:09:25.309 --> 00:09:28.649 since we're doing like getting people into the 00:09:28.649 --> 00:09:33.090 mood, start me up. Rolling Stones. All right. 00:09:33.409 --> 00:09:36.250 The Kansas City Chiefs use that for their kickoff. 00:09:36.590 --> 00:09:39.509 Like they've used it for 30 years. And now that 00:09:39.509 --> 00:09:41.090 the Chiefs are like winning Super Bowls every 00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:44.289 year, you've been hearing a lot lately. You certainly 00:09:44.289 --> 00:09:46.710 have. And honestly, who would have thought, I 00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:49.269 guess, because there was a long while where the 00:09:49.269 --> 00:09:51.129 Chiefs were kind of bottom of the barrel NFL 00:09:51.129 --> 00:09:53.450 team. They never were bottom. They were bottom 00:09:53.450 --> 00:09:56.250 of the barrel. From the 70s into the 80s. Yes, 00:09:56.309 --> 00:09:58.169 I'm talking about our childhood. Yeah, sorry 00:09:58.169 --> 00:10:00.110 about that. You're right. But starting in 1990, 00:10:00.629 --> 00:10:02.830 they were consistent contenders. They just never 00:10:02.830 --> 00:10:06.090 actually got over the hump. They had Joe Montana. 00:10:06.509 --> 00:10:10.570 They had Marty Schottenheimer, who just, the 00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:15.129 guy who put, Marty Schottenheimer, I think he's 00:10:15.129 --> 00:10:17.029 passed now. He passed like a couple years ago. 00:10:17.970 --> 00:10:20.100 They should actually put on. Couldn't win the 00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:25.000 big game on his tombstone. I mean, nobody was 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.340 worse in big games than Marty Schottenheimer. 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.799 The Chiefs had a stretch where they would finish 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.440 first or second in the AFC and lost in the wild 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.139 card or first round or the divisional round. 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.299 They lost eight straight home games in playoffs, 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.440 which is over a 20 -year period from 1994 to 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.269 2014. They get there, they get to the playoffs, 00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:52.429 but they just, and they got home games that they 00:10:52.429 --> 00:10:55.450 lost. Yeah, that's not happening anymore. I don't 00:10:55.450 --> 00:10:56.950 think, and I don't think that's going to happen 00:10:56.950 --> 00:11:01.190 for a long time. I mean, Mahomes is the real 00:11:01.190 --> 00:11:03.990 deal. I won't put him on a pedestal with a Tom 00:11:03.990 --> 00:11:07.250 Brady just yet, but I'll be curious to see how 00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:10.110 the team does next year with Eric Biennemi heading 00:11:10.110 --> 00:11:13.299 off to Washington. to go head up the commander's 00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:15.919 offense. Eric, the enemy was the reason why Eric, 00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:18.820 the enemy can't get a job is one. He hasn't done 00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:21.100 exactly what had a big splash in his interview. 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.500 He was in two. He's never been to play caller. 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:25.799 It's always been Andy Reed. Now he's taking on 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.019 the role of play caller. I think that's why he 00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.679 hasn't gotten a job yet. It's that people say, 00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:32.600 okay, you're not a play caller. So now he's going 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.279 to be the play caller. And now this is his audition 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.740 for a job. Well, as a New York giants fan, I 00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:42.889 kind of want to hope that, it was the Andy Reid 00:11:42.889 --> 00:11:44.809 magic and that he doesn't bring another high 00:11:44.809 --> 00:11:47.970 powered offense to the NFC because the NFC East 00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:50.889 next year is going to be really crazy, but we're 00:11:50.889 --> 00:11:52.629 not a sports show here. Let's get back to the 00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:54.909 music a little bit. And I'm going to go with 00:11:54.909 --> 00:11:57.190 one more song that is kind of an introductory 00:11:57.190 --> 00:11:59.690 type song, but I'm going to pick up the energy 00:11:59.690 --> 00:12:01.870 a little bit more, pick up the pace a little 00:12:01.870 --> 00:12:04.110 bit more, bring us a little more modern. I'm 00:12:04.110 --> 00:12:06.669 going to go back to 1994 and then we're going 00:12:06.669 --> 00:12:09.049 to get a little punk rock in this mix. And I'm 00:12:09.049 --> 00:12:11.620 going to go with. The Offsprings, come out and 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:15.340 play. Get the energy going. You get that opening 00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:18.860 drum beat. The band kicks in. The energy's up. 00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:21.940 We're rocking and rolling. The game is on. So 00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.980 I am going to follow up the Rolling Stones with 00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:27.860 the Offspring. Come out and play. I think Side 00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:31.659 A is basically almost like the pump -up side. 00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:34.379 Oh, yeah. Starting off with Sirius, Eminence 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:36.519 Front, Start Me Up, come out and play. Yeah, 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.539 this is really just about getting people pumped 00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:41.720 up. I got another one that's in line with all 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.820 these pop -up songs. Okay. What do you got? Two 00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:48.399 Unlimited, Get Ready. Are you ready for this? 00:12:49.179 --> 00:12:53.539 Every single Jock Jams CD that we got in the 00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:56.419 90s when ESPN, like that is to me, that's Two 00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:59.639 Unlimited. Yeah. And you go to a basketball, 00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:01.740 any type of basketball game, that's like just 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:04.600 as you get ready to tip up with basketball. I 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.799 feel like this is one of those songs that because 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.000 of the Jock Jam CDs, it almost became infamous 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.779 in terms of sports. But I've been to baseball 00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:15.519 games where I don't ever hear it. Is it kind 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.419 of a selective thing that you're seeing as well? 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.519 Oh, I don't hear it at every sporting event. 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.179 Basketball and football is where that song is 00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:26.559 played mostly. Ah, this is where the episode 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.840 gets interesting because we had some pump up 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.840 songs in the beginning and now we've added that. 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.379 dance jock jams element to it. So I can go in 00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:40.679 a lot of different directions here. All right. 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.940 I like to go deep with my picks every episode. 00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:46.879 And like I said, this one is not an episode where 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.419 you can go deep because 70 ,000 people are not 00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:53.740 going to get into a song. That's a deep cut. 00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:55.960 You need to do something that everybody knows. 00:13:56.019 --> 00:14:00.000 Now here's a song that everybody knows, but when 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.919 I've said the name, A lot of people don't know 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.220 it. And it's from 1999. And the band is called 00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:10.100 Zombie Nation. And the song is called Kernkraft 00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:14.340 400. And it's from the Leash and Schmouth's album. 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.919 I'm not good with German. I am so sorry if I 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.879 screwed that one up. I actually had to reverse. 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.100 I actually don't believe the band was Kernkraft. 00:14:23.370 --> 00:14:27.389 No, it is Zombie Nation with Kernkraft 400. And 00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:29.769 everybody knows the song because as soon as the... 00:14:29.769 --> 00:14:37.850 Everybody immediately starts woeing along with 00:14:37.850 --> 00:14:41.029 the song. And that is because it is catchy. It 00:14:41.029 --> 00:14:43.889 is infectious. It is meant for stadiums. The 00:14:43.889 --> 00:14:47.429 song is iconic. I'm not a big techno person. 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:50.590 I'm not a big dance music person. But I know 00:14:50.590 --> 00:14:53.450 this song. This song... is everywhere. Every 00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:56.570 sporting event for the last 20 -something years 00:14:56.570 --> 00:15:00.090 I've been to has had Zombie Nation's Kern Craft 00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:03.750 400 played at it. And coming out of 2 Unlimited, 00:15:03.929 --> 00:15:06.809 I don't see any other song in my list that works 00:15:06.809 --> 00:15:09.309 better because, to be perfectly honest, I don't 00:15:09.309 --> 00:15:11.730 have a ton of dance stuff. But even though I 00:15:11.730 --> 00:15:15.409 don't, this song made my list because it's just 00:15:15.409 --> 00:15:20.980 so damn infectious. Yeah? Peace. So, Frank, you 00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:23.419 got to follow that up, man. I think I'm going 00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:26.799 to go with the same game, hand in hand. You know 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.139 how they have like a smooth transition? Mm -hmm. 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.860 Seven Nations Army, White Stripes. All right. 00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:38.179 Can you believe that song is two decades old 00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:42.159 this year? Jeez. I mean, you think about when 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.179 that song first came out, the first time I heard 00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:47.720 it, I turned to my now wife and said, this song 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.200 is going to be played in stadiums someday. As 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.740 soon as you hear that opening, the boom, boom, 00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:55.779 boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and the kick drum. 00:15:55.940 --> 00:15:59.940 I'm like, this was built to be played in stadiums 00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:03.240 with 100 ,000 watts behind it. And there's nothing 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.519 that psychs up a crowd. That opening guitar just 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.500 gets people going. Man, coming out of that, that's 00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:15.980 tough. That is tough. Hmm. I've got a ton of 00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:22.100 songs. All right. I'm going to go with one that 00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:29.679 is actually tied to a team. So while this song 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.080 is not a team I'm a fan of in any way, shape 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.799 or form, I have to give respect where respect 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:40.299 is due. And respect for me comes at the musical 00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:43.019 level, certainly not at the sports level, because 00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:46.639 as a New York Yankees fan, I'm not allowed. I'd 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.580 have to turn my card in. To give any love to 00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:51.940 Boston, but I have to give it because the dropkick 00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:56.139 Murphy's I'm shipping up to Boston is an amazing 00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:59.600 stadium anthem. And I have to admit, every time 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.320 I hear it, I'm a little bit jealous because they 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.140 really have a kick ass song to psych up the crowds 00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:09.299 up there and respect where respect is due. A 00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:12.369 good song is a good song. Frank, I know you're 00:17:12.369 --> 00:17:15.589 a Mets fan, so the rivalry really isn't there 00:17:15.589 --> 00:17:17.750 for you like it is for me. I mean, granted, you 00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:21.069 did have the 1986 World Series, but in present 00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:23.430 day, because the Dropkick Murphy song came out 00:17:23.430 --> 00:17:26.809 in 2005, really doesn't impact you much. But 00:17:26.809 --> 00:17:29.130 from a song perspective, you got to kind of dig 00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:31.130 this one, whether you're a Boston fan or not, 00:17:31.230 --> 00:17:35.509 right? Yeah, that is a great one. Notre Dame 00:17:35.509 --> 00:17:38.589 actually has gotten to use it a lot now. Which 00:17:38.589 --> 00:17:42.029 is interesting, because... It's not Boston. But 00:17:42.029 --> 00:17:45.029 it's Irish, so. Yeah, yeah. But being a huge 00:17:45.029 --> 00:17:47.470 Dropkick Murphys fan, there are dozens of other 00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:49.730 songs the Fighting Irish could have went with, 00:17:49.789 --> 00:17:51.490 so I'm actually surprised they went with I'm 00:17:51.490 --> 00:17:54.289 Shipping Up to Boston. But it's a fantastic song, 00:17:54.410 --> 00:17:56.509 and obviously it gets the crowd pumped. As a 00:17:56.509 --> 00:17:59.970 Yankees fan, I feel a little dirty saying it. 00:18:00.049 --> 00:18:02.670 But again, this is music. This is not a sports 00:18:02.670 --> 00:18:05.170 rivalry. This is thinking about it from a musical 00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:06.809 level, and you got to give love where love is 00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:09.910 due there. All right. My next one is another 00:18:09.910 --> 00:18:14.029 one that it's used by one team specifically and 00:18:14.029 --> 00:18:17.069 used by a lot of teams. Welcome to the Jungle 00:18:17.069 --> 00:18:22.369 by Guns N' Roses. The Bengals use it. Of course, 00:18:22.529 --> 00:18:26.369 of course. It's just like expert level. How can 00:18:26.369 --> 00:18:29.670 you not have Welcome to the Jungle playing in 00:18:29.670 --> 00:18:33.849 a sports arena? I mean, really, this song screams 00:18:33.849 --> 00:18:38.940 anthem. When the band plays it live. Even if 00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:40.920 it's their third or fourth song into the night, 00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:43.039 it feels like the concert's starting over again 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.819 because it's just that powerful. And obviously 00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:48.380 the Cincinnati Bengals are going to be another 00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:50.779 team in the NFL to be reckoned with over the 00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:54.579 next long while. I think they've got a long span 00:18:54.579 --> 00:18:57.420 of playoff appearances ahead of them. And with 00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:00.099 the cheapness of their owner, the Dolphins just 00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:03.440 fucked up the tank in 2019. I have to go against 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:05.720 my better judgment here. I know this is a music 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.779 talk show, but I have Jan, and sports is definitely 00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:11.819 what we're talking about tonight. So why do you 00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:18.259 think that is? They hired Brian Forrest, who 00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:21.700 basically had integrity and didn't want to lose. 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.279 So instead of starting Josh Rosen every game, 00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:30.079 he decided to start... Ryan Fitzpatrick, who 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.619 accidentally won five games. So they ended up 00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:35.740 getting like the fifth pick and drafted Tua while 00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:40.140 the Bengals sank to the bottom and they got Joe 00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:42.720 Burrow. I mean, just think how much different 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.819 it would have been if Josh Rosen started every 00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:46.440 game. And I wanted Josh Rosen to start every 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.519 game. So then I guess it's safe to say you would 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.180 have preferred Burrow to have been with the Dolphins. 00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:57.220 Yes. You're not a Tua fan? I don't hate Tua. 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.160 I just think that he's not durable. He gets hit 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.240 and he gets concussed. And then you have Teddy 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.519 Bridgewater. Teddy Bridgewater, someone breathes 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.160 on him. He he crawls into the fetal position. 00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:11.859 And then you're lucky with Skylar Thompson. Honestly, 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.740 you know, Bridgewater being a journeyman like 00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:17.599 he's somebody that I respect for his years of 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.119 experience and knowledge to this was a tough 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.539 season. You know, I watched the games where he 00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:24.940 got concussed. And in both games, I was just 00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:28.839 wondering. the thought process behind all that. 00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:31.420 But again, I'm not a doctor by any stretch of 00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:34.259 the imagination. He is a guy that's very easy 00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:37.460 to root for. And I could see him being very successful. 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.339 They just have to kind of continue to build the 00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.339 right tools around him. Yeah. They got to get 00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:45.440 the offensive line fixed. Yeah. They have a couple 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.900 of good offensive linemen, but they have people 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:50.559 like Liam Eikenberg who just can't block. Liam 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.160 Eikenberg, there are revolving doors that have 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:58.599 a better blocking than him. All right. Well, 00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:00.920 heading back to the music here. Welcome to the 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.420 jungle. Frank, I'm going to follow this up with 00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:07.420 something now to close outside a and we like 00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:09.460 different teams across the spectrum. You're a 00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:12.960 you're a Mets fan. I'm a Yankees fan. You are 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.859 a Dolphins fan. I'm Giants. There's really no 00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:19.250 rivalry or anything there. You're a Devils fan. 00:21:19.349 --> 00:21:22.150 I'm a Rangers fan. So there's not much you and 00:21:22.150 --> 00:21:25.450 I align on on the sports level. However, this 00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:28.890 song, I think you and I could both, for our own 00:21:28.890 --> 00:21:32.609 personal reasons, put an exclamation point at 00:21:32.609 --> 00:21:35.890 the end of Side A. And I'm going back to 1978 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:40.049 and the self -titled Ace Frehley album. And I'm 00:21:40.049 --> 00:21:42.829 going to go with the Mets victory song and the 00:21:42.829 --> 00:21:46.509 New York Giants touchdown celebration song, Ace 00:21:46.509 --> 00:21:50.589 Frehley. New York groove. Yep. Out from the Kiss 00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:54.490 solo albums. Yeah. Honestly, there is no way 00:21:54.490 --> 00:21:57.630 as a Giants fan, this song holds a special place 00:21:57.630 --> 00:21:59.589 that's near and dear to my heart. I'm sure as 00:21:59.589 --> 00:22:02.630 a Mets fan, this song holds a place near and 00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:05.029 dear to your heart. And I have to kind of balance. 00:22:05.089 --> 00:22:07.329 I gave the love to Boston, but I need to kind 00:22:07.329 --> 00:22:10.650 of keep that scale nice and even and kind of 00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:13.230 tilt it back and go with New York groove to close 00:22:13.230 --> 00:22:16.119 out. Side A. Now, I got to ask, this song must 00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.740 mean something to you. Oh, yeah, it does. It's 00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:20.400 good to hear it when the Mets win, of course. 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.579 But there are other songs that I associate a 00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:25.880 little bit higher than this, personally. Really? 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.539 Well, I guess we're going to have to dive into 00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:30.779 that more when we get to Side B. But before that, 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.000 I want to remind listeners about Side A of our 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.660 Sports Anthems mixtape, which kicked off with 00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:40.220 the Alan Parsons Project's Sirius, The Who's 00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:43.410 Eminence Front. The Rolling Stones, Start Me 00:22:43.410 --> 00:22:47.529 Up. Offsprings, Come Out and Play. Two Unlimiteds, 00:22:47.529 --> 00:22:50.470 Get Ready for This. Zombie Nation's Kern Craft 00:22:50.470 --> 00:22:55.109 400. White Stripes, Seven Nation Army. Dropkick 00:22:55.109 --> 00:22:58.230 Murphys, I'm Shipping Up to Boston. Guns N' Roses, 00:22:58.289 --> 00:23:01.549 Welcome to the Jungle. and Ace Frehley's New 00:23:01.549 --> 00:23:04.390 York Groove. You can always head over to myweeklymixtape 00:23:04.390 --> 00:23:06.849 .com to hear all the songs we've discussed in 00:23:06.849 --> 00:23:09.369 this mix through the playlist embedded on the 00:23:09.369 --> 00:23:12.069 episode page. Now, Frank, being the big sports 00:23:12.069 --> 00:23:15.829 guy that you are, how would you rate, as let's 00:23:15.829 --> 00:23:17.829 say we had a halftime report here, how would 00:23:17.829 --> 00:23:21.609 you rate our sports anthem mixtape? Is it bringing 00:23:21.609 --> 00:23:26.150 misery and pain? Not so much misery and pain. 00:23:26.509 --> 00:23:28.230 There's none of these songs that actually, like, 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.880 I hear it and I just cringe or or just hate. 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:35.880 But yeah, these are good pump up. All right. 00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:38.380 All right. Well, now, before we flip over to 00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:40.640 side B, I do have a question for you. And because 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.259 this is a music podcast, I like to always try 00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:46.200 to pull as much musical stuff out of people as 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.019 I can. So now I want you to drop your Mets fandom 00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:54.599 for one question here. OK, this is purely a musical 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:59.009 level. Nothing about sports. only about the music. 00:23:59.130 --> 00:24:04.009 From a purely musical perspective, what 80s rally 00:24:04.009 --> 00:24:07.470 song do you consider more iconic? The Chicago 00:24:07.470 --> 00:24:12.130 Bears' 1985 Super Bowl Shuffle or the New York 00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:16.950 Mets' 1986 rally song, Let's Go Mets? The Super 00:24:16.950 --> 00:24:19.170 Bowl Shuffle is not really a rally song. It's 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:23.609 more of a boastful rap song. I think the Let's 00:24:23.609 --> 00:24:26.410 Go Mets is more of a rally song. All right, cool, 00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:29.369 cool. I was curious how you'd find a way around 00:24:29.369 --> 00:24:32.289 that. To me, when I think 80s sports, those are 00:24:32.289 --> 00:24:34.390 the first two songs that come to mind for me. 00:24:34.549 --> 00:24:36.289 And believe it or not, neither one of them are 00:24:36.289 --> 00:24:39.089 on streaming, which I find very odd. Well, you 00:24:39.089 --> 00:24:40.789 can find them on YouTube sometimes. Of course, 00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:45.250 yeah. And then there's one that other teams tried 00:24:45.250 --> 00:24:49.150 this, like the Rams, who had a song, Ram It. 00:24:49.529 --> 00:24:52.990 We know how to ram it. Let's ram it. We'll be 00:24:52.990 --> 00:24:56.789 rocking L .A. all night and all day. Let's ram 00:24:56.789 --> 00:25:00.309 it. You know there was not a dry eye in the house 00:25:00.309 --> 00:25:04.410 when they were writing that, right? And then 00:25:04.410 --> 00:25:06.589 you play this break off in these raps and it's 00:25:06.589 --> 00:25:09.490 like, I'm a mountain man from West VA. I come 00:25:09.490 --> 00:25:16.089 out to play. Oh, Lord. Well, look, you know, 00:25:16.089 --> 00:25:17.970 considering the advances that have been made 00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:20.509 in modern technology and creating music, I have 00:25:20.509 --> 00:25:23.029 to say I'm kind of surprised that more teams 00:25:23.029 --> 00:25:25.950 aren't making rally songs as they go deep into 00:25:25.950 --> 00:25:29.269 the playoffs. However, maybe that cue from the 00:25:29.269 --> 00:25:32.769 1980s and that Rams song might have deferred 00:25:32.769 --> 00:25:34.750 them from that. Yep. Some of these songs are 00:25:34.750 --> 00:25:38.230 really bad. The Calgary Flames tried to do it 00:25:38.230 --> 00:25:41.369 once. They have this awful horn section going. 00:25:43.630 --> 00:25:47.269 You can't touch a flame when it's red hot. You 00:25:47.269 --> 00:25:53.529 can't touch a missile. Oh, Frank, I'm sensing 00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:56.869 another episode here. Worst rally songs of all 00:25:56.869 --> 00:26:03.069 time. You know, a lot of teams have songs that 00:26:03.069 --> 00:26:06.609 are buried. Like the Orlando Magic, when they 00:26:06.609 --> 00:26:09.910 first came out, they had this big show that this 00:26:09.910 --> 00:26:14.180 magician come out. Slam jam, Alakazam, slam damn 00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:22.700 your history. Orlando magic, Orlando magic. And 00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:26.680 even the greatest musicians of all time miss. 00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:31.119 And this song is difficult to find on the internet. 00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:35.400 But Prince tried to make an anthem for the Minnesota 00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:38.099 Vikings. That might have been the worst thing 00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:48.460 Prince ever produced. I forgot how it goes, but 00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:53.759 it's like the song is the purple to go. I'm a 00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:55.819 big Prince fan. How the hell did I never hear 00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:58.640 this? This came out right around the time that 00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.099 Brett Favre was there. It came out. It was poorly 00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:05.240 received and Prince buried it, killed it, destroyed 00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.859 it. I think he destroyed all the tapes of it, 00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:09.819 but it's hard to find on the internet. I remember 00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:13.400 when it came out, and if you could find it, that 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:17.740 would be something else. And you know, the Let's 00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:21.759 Go Mets was the alternative 86 Mets song. Really? 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.720 They tried to come up with their own, which the 00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.660 players produced, and it seemed to not license. 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.059 And the song was, Get Metsmerized, Get Metsmerized, 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.920 Get Metsmerized, Get Metsmerized, and all the 00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.880 players would come out and rap, Hi, I'm Lenny. 00:27:39.430 --> 00:27:43.329 People say what I had to wonder. I'm alive the 00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:46.589 way I crashed into the walls going after all 00:27:46.589 --> 00:27:49.569 the balls. I actually remember that. Did they 00:27:49.569 --> 00:27:52.630 put that out on like a 45 or something? I remember 00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:55.869 that you literally pulled something off the cobwebs 00:27:55.869 --> 00:28:00.269 of my brain from 1986. Get mesmerized. Get mesmerized. 00:28:01.710 --> 00:28:04.250 All right, Frank, I got to ask before we go into 00:28:04.250 --> 00:28:06.329 side B, we were talking about Prince before. 00:28:07.520 --> 00:28:09.740 Best Super Bowl halftime show, if you had to 00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:12.339 pick one. I think Prince in the Rain just tops 00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:14.640 everything. It's going to be hard to ever top 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.019 that moment. And I've been to one Super Bowl, 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:20.599 which was the Giants and New England Patriots. 00:28:20.619 --> 00:28:22.619 And I got to see my favorite artist of all time, 00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:26.140 Tom Petty, as the halftime show. And even then, 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.900 I had to tip my hat to Prince in the Rain. There's 00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:31.539 just no way you top that. And if you ever want 00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:35.079 to go to the worst, Google Super Bowl 23, Elvis 00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:38.509 Presto. Elvis Presto. I don't even need to Google 00:28:38.509 --> 00:28:43.410 it. That one is infamous. Uh -huh. Uh -huh. Is 00:28:43.410 --> 00:28:46.349 this your card? In a minute, the whole audience 00:28:46.349 --> 00:28:48.829 is going to show, hold up your placards and that's 00:28:48.829 --> 00:28:54.130 your card. Uh -huh. Uh -huh. So bad it's brilliant. 00:28:54.269 --> 00:28:58.430 I'd have to put that under. Well, starting off 00:28:58.430 --> 00:29:00.630 with side B, I'm hoping that we don't go down 00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:02.309 that road. And I want to start with something 00:29:02.309 --> 00:29:05.809 big. for Side B. I want to start with something 00:29:05.809 --> 00:29:09.450 anthemic. I want to give a little bit more love 00:29:09.450 --> 00:29:11.910 to the New York Giants because I don't get to 00:29:11.910 --> 00:29:14.970 talk sports on this show often. So I am going 00:29:14.970 --> 00:29:17.529 to go with the New York Giants kickoff anthem, 00:29:17.809 --> 00:29:21.609 ACDC's Hell's Bells. I know there are a ton of 00:29:21.609 --> 00:29:25.569 ACDC songs that fall under this category. Thunderstruck, 00:29:25.569 --> 00:29:28.710 Back in Black, TNT, High Voltage, they all work. 00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:32.259 But as a Giants fan, From a little bit of a personal 00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:35.200 perspective here, but also a song that a lot 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.740 of sports teams can rally around and a band that 00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:42.039 is synonymous when it comes to stadium anthems, 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:46.920 that would be ACDC, Hell's Bells. Well, I can't 00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:49.460 disagree. You've busted New Jersey Devils take 00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:51.859 the ice playing Hell's Bells. There you go. Another 00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:56.640 time we agree. All right. You go to a Mets game 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:01.490 and a crowd chants, let's go Mets. How does the 00:30:01.490 --> 00:30:04.950 Let's Go Mets clap go? The Let's Go Mets clap 00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:09.609 chant was born out of this song. And I'm talking 00:30:09.609 --> 00:30:13.910 about We Will Rock You by Queen. All right. And 00:30:13.910 --> 00:30:16.170 that's a tough one because, Queen, when you think 00:30:16.170 --> 00:30:20.569 stadium anthems, you immediately think there's 00:30:20.569 --> 00:30:22.369 more than one possibility because you have We 00:30:22.369 --> 00:30:24.769 Will Rock You and then We Are the Champions. 00:30:24.930 --> 00:30:28.009 But because we only pick one song per artist, 00:30:28.309 --> 00:30:31.470 I could see why you went with this one. And I 00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:34.170 remember, Rod, during the 1986 World Series, 00:30:34.569 --> 00:30:38.170 Daryl Strawberry hit this towering homer in Game 00:30:38.170 --> 00:30:41.730 7, and the whole crowd was chanting, we will, 00:30:41.809 --> 00:30:46.529 we will rock you. All right. Well, coming out 00:30:46.529 --> 00:30:50.130 of that, I want to bring up the energy now. I 00:30:50.130 --> 00:30:53.769 want the place to go from level 90 to a level 00:30:53.769 --> 00:30:57.029 100. And the only thing I could think to start 00:30:57.029 --> 00:30:59.710 that, this song is used in NASCAR all the time. 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.980 for a good reason because of Mick Mars opening 00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:06.460 guitar squeal. That sounds like a car revving 00:31:06.460 --> 00:31:08.539 its engine, but I've heard it at football games. 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.839 I've heard it at baseball games and I'm going 00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.619 with Motley crew. Kickstart my heart. That's 00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:16.579 a good one. Very good one for especially NASCAR. 00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.160 Definitely. And, and that, you know, but you 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.599 get that opening guitar. It doesn't matter. You 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.359 hear that opening slide guitar, even if you're 00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:28.910 at a football game and that riff. And then you 00:31:28.910 --> 00:31:31.250 get all the woes and the yes and the chorus people 00:31:31.250 --> 00:31:34.829 chanting along with it. It's built for stadiums, 00:31:34.829 --> 00:31:37.109 which is why when Motley Crue plays stadiums, 00:31:37.109 --> 00:31:39.970 this song has never left the set list. It's built 00:31:39.970 --> 00:31:43.150 for concert stadiums as well as sports stadiums. 00:31:44.009 --> 00:31:46.849 Okay. This one is going to probably eliminate 00:31:46.849 --> 00:31:49.589 a song that you were going to use on your list. 00:31:49.970 --> 00:31:53.289 Okay. And it's a band that has several that could 00:31:53.289 --> 00:31:57.339 be on here. But I'm going to go Metallica, for 00:31:57.339 --> 00:32:00.640 whom the bell tolls. Ah, you are killing one 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.380 from my list. You ever go to a Rutgers football 00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:07.519 game or see a Rutgers football game? Yep. Every 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:11.099 time the defense, it's like, they play that over 00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:17.579 the loudspeaker. I am never going to argue old 00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:20.380 school Metallica on this show, Frank. I love 00:32:20.380 --> 00:32:23.730 this song. This was Metallica before they were 00:32:23.730 --> 00:32:26.990 a household name. So I love the deep pick, but 00:32:26.990 --> 00:32:28.990 y 'all are kind of killing me being a Yankees 00:32:28.990 --> 00:32:31.190 fan and I can't pull out the inner Sandman to 00:32:31.190 --> 00:32:34.869 give some love to the Sandman. And I know I get 00:32:34.869 --> 00:32:41.549 it. I get it. I get it. Oh man. Well, it looks 00:32:41.549 --> 00:32:43.549 like we're going rock heavy here. I mean, this 00:32:43.549 --> 00:32:45.990 side too is, is just, we're, we're bringing the 00:32:45.990 --> 00:32:48.750 rock. So I got to stay with it. And I'm going 00:32:48.750 --> 00:32:52.009 to go with All Aboard 1981, Blizzard of Oz. And 00:32:52.009 --> 00:32:54.650 we're going with The Ozman Cometh, Ozzy Osbourne's 00:32:54.650 --> 00:32:57.910 Crazy Train. Here's another one. I don't think 00:32:57.910 --> 00:32:59.529 I've ever been to a stadium event where this 00:32:59.529 --> 00:33:02.710 song hasn't played. And it's so awesome. Who 00:33:02.710 --> 00:33:06.150 cares? It's his most popular song. I get it. 00:33:06.250 --> 00:33:09.910 But that is what stadium anthems are. And this 00:33:09.910 --> 00:33:12.589 is one that as soon as you hear All Aboard, it 00:33:12.589 --> 00:33:15.099 doesn't matter. how old you are, you know what's 00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:17.339 about to happen. And it's just built for this 00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:20.640 type of crowd. So coming out of Metallica and 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.960 Motley Crue, Ozzy really keeps that energy level 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.160 up. So I got to give it to Crazy Train here. 00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:30.519 All right, here's a song. The artist is an asshole. 00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:34.480 One of the worst human beings possible. Oh boy, 00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:35.880 I think I know where you're going with this. 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.660 He's a piece of shit. Yep. And the song's no 00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:41.799 longer played at stadiums because of it. But... 00:33:42.190 --> 00:33:46.069 It was the devil's gold song for years. I'm talking 00:33:46.069 --> 00:33:49.529 about rock and roll part two. Gary Glitter is 00:33:49.529 --> 00:33:52.750 a terrible person, deserved to be canceled, but 00:33:52.750 --> 00:33:56.049 there was nothing that blew off an arena more 00:33:56.049 --> 00:34:00.329 when the devil scored an excellent play. Well, 00:34:00.349 --> 00:34:03.109 look, there's really no way to skirt around this 00:34:03.109 --> 00:34:06.589 one. I normally don't talk about artists' personal 00:34:06.589 --> 00:34:08.369 lives on this show because at the end of the 00:34:08.369 --> 00:34:12.480 day, I'm here to talk about the music. But I 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:16.340 100 % agree with everything you said. Having 00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:18.820 kids of my own, I don't even want to go down 00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:23.320 that rabbit hole. It's, to put it bluntly, a 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.639 song that everybody loved at one time from a 00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:34.179 person that everybody deservedly hates. And taking 00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:38.610 that out of the equation, the song... Was and 00:34:38.610 --> 00:34:42.849 is still played in sports arenas all the time. 00:34:42.889 --> 00:34:45.489 I've heard it several times in recent years at 00:34:45.489 --> 00:34:48.110 sporting events with my kids. But at the end 00:34:48.110 --> 00:34:52.269 of the day, from a musical perspective, I understand 00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:55.190 why the song is being put on there. Also, as 00:34:55.190 --> 00:34:57.750 a Devils fan, why you're putting that song on 00:34:57.750 --> 00:35:00.150 there being a goal song. You're taking it from 00:35:00.150 --> 00:35:02.829 the memories you have of going to Devils games 00:35:02.829 --> 00:35:05.690 and the team scoring. And I totally get that. 00:35:06.250 --> 00:35:09.050 But I back and support 100 % what you said about 00:35:09.050 --> 00:35:10.769 him as a human being. And that's all I'm going 00:35:10.769 --> 00:35:13.730 to say about it because the artist's name does 00:35:13.730 --> 00:35:15.829 not deserve any more time on this show. But the 00:35:15.829 --> 00:35:20.150 song is, when all is said and done, a sports 00:35:20.150 --> 00:35:23.849 anthem. It's a great song. It's a shame that 00:35:23.849 --> 00:35:26.809 this guy was so bad that teams are now reluctant 00:35:26.809 --> 00:35:29.269 to use it. And understandably reluctant to use 00:35:29.269 --> 00:35:34.289 it. But it's just so good. All right, so coming 00:35:34.289 --> 00:35:36.170 out of that, I'm going to have to try to change 00:35:36.170 --> 00:35:39.429 the vibe a little bit. And I'm going to go with 00:35:39.429 --> 00:35:42.050 one where it's a band that everybody kind of 00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:44.309 holds in a very high regard. Let's try to balance 00:35:44.309 --> 00:35:47.449 that scale a little bit because, look, Gary Glitter 00:35:47.449 --> 00:35:49.889 kind of tilts the scale and kind of throws all 00:35:49.889 --> 00:35:51.889 the other songs up in the air just in terms of 00:35:51.889 --> 00:35:55.030 garbage. So here's a band where everybody across 00:35:55.030 --> 00:35:59.269 genres and across musical spectrums respect for 00:35:59.269 --> 00:36:04.210 the musical legacy they bring. The song is a 00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:08.489 bop, both figuratively and literally. And I'm 00:36:08.489 --> 00:36:13.070 going with Blitzkrieg bop from 1976, The Undeniable 00:36:13.070 --> 00:36:16.710 Ramones. This is a song where it changed the 00:36:16.710 --> 00:36:19.630 musical landscape forever. It became a stadium 00:36:19.630 --> 00:36:22.630 anthem. It became songs that adults and kids 00:36:22.630 --> 00:36:25.090 can all sing along with. And again, it really 00:36:25.090 --> 00:36:29.010 works at the sports level. All right. Now I got 00:36:29.010 --> 00:36:32.590 a band. There's one of two songs I can go with. 00:36:33.710 --> 00:36:36.909 And I'm going to go with Running with the Devil. 00:36:37.349 --> 00:36:40.309 Van Halen. Love it. Nice. I could have gone with 00:36:40.309 --> 00:36:42.130 Jump, but I'm going to choose Running with the 00:36:42.130 --> 00:36:43.889 Devil because I just think it's a better song. 00:36:44.150 --> 00:36:46.929 And your Devil's fandom has nothing to do with 00:36:46.929 --> 00:36:49.110 the fact that you picked that one at all, in 00:36:49.110 --> 00:36:53.730 the slightest. Maybe, but, you know, it's just 00:36:53.730 --> 00:36:58.500 a better song. Hmm. All right. I've got only 00:36:58.500 --> 00:37:01.099 one song left and you've only got one song left. 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.239 So I'm going to use one that's not tied to a 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.980 team, but it's a little bit more modern and it's 00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:13.599 a hip hop song, but it absolutely rocks because 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.719 there is a rock intro to it. And to me, again, 00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:19.059 closing out as we're starting to get to the end 00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:22.360 here, I can't think of one that brings you towards 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:26.119 that part. other than 2002's 8 Mile Soundtrack 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.659 and Eminem's Lose Yourself. Yep. The song is 00:37:29.659 --> 00:37:33.519 a monster and deserves to be played at every 00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.039 sporting event. Eminem is a hip -hop legend. 00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:40.000 I think the Jets use that as their intro. Even 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.400 though I am a New York Giants fan, I always root 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.659 for the Jets because I have this dream of a Subway 00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:46.699 Super Bowl, but I have no idea if that was their 00:37:46.699 --> 00:37:49.599 opening song or not. And I probably should know 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.360 that. So yet another sports fact that I... Just 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.280 don't know. Well, Frank. I got the last one. 00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.619 You have the last honor here. You get to close 00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:04.300 things out. Two sides of stadium anthems. Hold 00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:10.719 on a second. Oh, he's walking away. Have to give 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:12.920 the play -by -play for the audio commentary here. 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:21.159 It's Narco. By Blaster Jackson, Timmy Trumpets. 00:38:21.739 --> 00:38:27.099 This is obviously the Edward Diaz song. What 00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:29.440 better way to close it out than, of course, this 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:37.199 bobblehead actually plays Narco. That is one 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.980 hell of a bobblehead. That certainly is. What 00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:42.639 better way to close it than with Narco? There 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.780 you go. And if you notice, after the Mets last 00:38:44.780 --> 00:38:47.139 year, it blew up with the Mets. It got up in 00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:50.780 the top 10 of Billboard. Because of the Mets. 00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:52.260 And this is like a song that's been out for like 00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:56.599 five years at least. And it's like Richard Stratus 00:38:56.599 --> 00:39:00.260 here has made Timmy Trump a lot of fame there. 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:04.019 And I now hear it at a lot of stadiums. Of course, 00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:07.019 because honestly, the beauty of sports is even 00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:09.920 though there's rivalries, a good song is a good 00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:13.650 song and it transcends. the game sometimes and 00:39:13.650 --> 00:39:15.369 I feel like that's starting to happen similar 00:39:15.369 --> 00:39:18.150 to like what you said obviously the Irish thing 00:39:18.150 --> 00:39:21.329 with Dropkick Murphys with Notre Dame I'm shipping 00:39:21.329 --> 00:39:24.210 up to Boston but again that song it becomes other 00:39:24.210 --> 00:39:27.329 stadiums start using it yeah it feels like almost 00:39:27.329 --> 00:39:29.449 like a bullfighter coming in it's got that like 00:39:29.449 --> 00:39:31.789 that beat and that like that slow build -up and 00:39:31.789 --> 00:39:35.929 then the horn comes out Absolutely love it. Well, 00:39:35.989 --> 00:39:38.530 there you have it, folks. Side B of our stadium 00:39:38.530 --> 00:39:41.630 anthems playlist, starting with ACDC's Hell's 00:39:41.630 --> 00:39:45.389 Bells, Queens' We Will Rock You, Motley Crue's 00:39:45.389 --> 00:39:48.489 Kickstart My Heart, Metallica's For Whom the 00:39:48.489 --> 00:39:52.670 Bell Tolls, Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train, Rock 00:39:52.670 --> 00:39:56.949 and Roll Part Two, Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, Van 00:39:56.949 --> 00:39:59.889 Halen's Running With the Devil, Eminem's Lose 00:39:59.889 --> 00:40:04.320 Yourself, and Timmy Trumpet's Narco. Head over 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:07.380 to myweeklymixtape .com to hear all the songs 00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:10.300 we discussed across both sides of our stadium 00:40:10.300 --> 00:40:15.579 anthems playlist. Frank, the 2023 Major League 00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:19.880 Baseball season kicks off this week. We're taping 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.389 this before the season starts. So we get to do 00:40:24.389 --> 00:40:26.989 a little bit of crystal ball foreshadowing here. 00:40:27.110 --> 00:40:30.090 Will the pain and misery finally end? What is 00:40:30.090 --> 00:40:35.110 your prediction for the Mets 2023 season this 00:40:35.110 --> 00:40:38.989 year? They got to get rid of Darren Ruff. He's 00:40:38.989 --> 00:40:41.789 like an anchor on that team. It's like putting 00:40:41.789 --> 00:40:45.789 a boot on a race car. Do you think the Mets will 00:40:45.789 --> 00:40:49.010 end the streak this year and get back into the 00:40:49.010 --> 00:40:52.269 dance? They got the talent, they got the players, 00:40:52.409 --> 00:40:54.489 but you never know. It's always something goes 00:40:54.489 --> 00:40:57.909 wrong. It's always something. Well, I hope that 00:40:57.909 --> 00:41:01.989 we can have another fun, spirited Subway series 00:41:01.989 --> 00:41:05.949 like what happened in 2000 again. I understand 00:41:05.949 --> 00:41:08.150 being on the other side of that, you might not 00:41:08.150 --> 00:41:11.590 feel the same as I do, but from a sports lover 00:41:11.590 --> 00:41:16.130 in New York, I went every night. because I sure 00:41:16.130 --> 00:41:18.409 as hell couldn't get into the games, we went 00:41:18.409 --> 00:41:21.210 out to the bars every night, and I never saw 00:41:21.210 --> 00:41:24.849 more of a group of people just enjoying the fact 00:41:24.849 --> 00:41:28.349 that the rest of the world was watching two New 00:41:28.349 --> 00:41:31.150 York teams duke it out. And I've always dreamed 00:41:31.150 --> 00:41:34.190 for a Subway Super Bowl, and I'd love to see 00:41:34.190 --> 00:41:37.670 another Subway Series again. I don't think you're 00:41:37.670 --> 00:41:39.230 ever going to see a Subway Super Bowl, but it 00:41:39.230 --> 00:41:41.829 could be a Subway Series. Could be, could be. 00:41:41.989 --> 00:41:46.449 And you know, if the season ended today, first 00:41:46.449 --> 00:41:51.650 round, Rangers, Devils. Ooh, that would be a 00:41:51.650 --> 00:41:54.150 fun fight. But we got a long ways to go in that 00:41:54.150 --> 00:41:57.329 as well. Frank, this has been an absolute blast 00:41:57.329 --> 00:41:59.329 catching up with you. Brings me back to electronic 00:41:59.329 --> 00:42:03.329 journalism in 1999.
