10 Songs That Can No Longer Be Played At Chris Christie Events

[okaawhatever]

More than eight months after the Chris Christie Bridgegate scandal first hit New Jersey, even music is no longer safe from the controversy.

The Associated Press reported that after Christie's remarks at Thursday's Sept. 11 museum dedication ceremony, singer Idina Menzel was slated to perform Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." A last-minute change pulled that choice from the lineup.

Museum spokesman Anthony Guido told the AP the change had nothing to do with Christie or the bridge scandal, adding that Menzel was sick. On the Sunday Shows last weekend, Christie reaffirmed to CBS News that he is considering a 2016 run for president.

Before things get serious, we're flagging a few more songs that should stay off the playlist at any of his upcoming events:

1) "Life In The Fast Lane" - The Eagles
9) "Apologize" - Timbaland & OneRepublic
10) "La La Lie" - Jack's Mannequin

1. I would suspect the Onion, but really Christie has that influence?

If he managed that pull his political instincts are seriously deficient and underline his guilt. Apparently Christie is incapable of even the slightest remorse the calling card of bullies everywhere.

2. This could go on the list. "I Got the Key to the Highway".

3. Gordon Lightfoot - Carefree Highway

[The Roux Comes First]

5. Terrific Call There

I would also offer up Jackson's Take It Easy.

And Dylan's Baby Blue, but as with the prior we are getting deep into the lyrics rather than the titles in this:

"the highway is for gamblers better use your sense" !

4. Irony alert -- Christie has been seen with Jon Bon Jovi

since Bruce threw him over. This is Lost Highway (2007):

And here's a lovely cover song he did for an AIDS charity in 1996:
