FirstMeasure Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I wanted to vote for Billy ray so bad, but nothing's worse than Culture Club, and that song is a crystallization of all that sucks about them (no pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I loved Glen Campbell but everytime I hear the words Rhinestone Cowboy, I think about that song Wine-stoned Plowboy It was a toss-up between We Built This City and Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, to which the answer is 'yes, I want to really hurt you'.

albertjohn Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Culture Club by a mile. I like the rest. C'mon Neo, what about your country's finest export (and indeed our finest import!) in the last 30 years - Long Haired Lover From Liverpool by Little Jimmy Osmond? (or anything by Beyonce.........I'm going to stop now or I could be here all day.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Okay, you've heard the story about some "arteests" who are whining because the Evil Government uses music for "torture" in some instances. It's a common tactic used anyplace you have people holed up and you want them to come out peacefully instead of just blowing them to pieces - which is usually my first choice. :- Military does it, FBI does it, CIA does it, SWAT teams do it, many Sheriff's departments.... What would you use to get under the skin of gun and explosive-wielding murderers? How would you "reach" people who have no regard for human life? How would you make them decide "Oh my GOD!!!! I can't take it anymore!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 So far, we got; "Achy Breaky Heart," Billy Ray Cyrus 28 % "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" Culture Club 47 % "Rhinestone Cowboy," Glen Campbell 0 % "Burning Love," Elvis Presley 0 % "We Built This City," Starship 23 % Any other suggestions are fine by me! :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bol316 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I voted for Rhinestone Cowboy. I dont even know what to say about that song. But the 1 song that tortures me from beginning to end is "Old Time Rock n Roll" by Bob Seger. That song just flat out sucks. It makes me want to start shooting :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 At Tom Cruise? In his Fruit Of The Looms? THAT'S a picture.... :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Tough call between "Achy Breaky Heart" and "We Built This City" but I had to give it to Billy Ray because he annoys me on multiple levels. I'm a little disappointed to see Culture Club on the list as I actually like some of their songs, including that one (really!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Achy Breaky because it still gets requested once in a while. If I don't have to play them, they are only uncomfortable, not torturous :D BTW, you neglected to add Macarena and the Lou Bega version of Mambo Number 5 (although the original Perez Prado version is pretty good). Fortunately all three of these have died out in popularity, and don't get requested very often anymore. Insights and incites by Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I believe radios around the world playing those 2 songs over and over over the years have prevented lots of bad people from doing very bad things Hell, with those 2 songs sometimes I feel like I could just get out of the car, with my head on fire, screaming "please make it stop".

EVOL! Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 All of those are pretty bad, but nothing hurts my ears more than post rehab Aerosmith. My two torture songs would be Love in an Elevator Just push play (although that truck commercial did bring about hours of laughs imitating Steven Tyler "ba-daba-bon-do-di-ba" or whatever garbage he is scatting).

Unionman Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 'How would you "reach" people who have no regard for human life?' If I were trying to get information from health insurance industry lobbyists and John Boehner I'd use recordings of the screams people emit when they get their medical bills (assuming they didn't forgo treatment and died because they didn't have the money or medical coverage that the lobbyists and Congress has). I would also have to hold some money under their noses though, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
