From 1962, here's venerable greaseball Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon" and his oft-covered hit "Palisades Park." And yes, it was actually written by Chuck Barris. Yes, THAT Chuck Barris.
As is customary, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to Friday's Weekend Listomania.

It's been an uphill battle ever since for Jersey, in my book/
Jersey has its moments.
