What music is playing in your elevator ride to hell?
Mine? All my favorite songs but sung by prior competitors on that stupid "American Karoake". What's worse that music is playing while Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck talk about how great they are.

1. Michael Bolton
Oh wait...that's what I would hear for eternity once I was in hell.

The ride down? Michael McDonald.

40. Glad to find someone else who loathes Michael McDonald.
He has the worst voice in the universe, and I would totally expect him to be on the Muzak in Hell.

I can't abide her caterwauling. Or hardcore country stuff. (I have a hard enough time with modern pop/country.)

26. Tied with anything by Phil Collins
No foolin'. I had a Phil Collins earworm once (by which I mean for weeks) during a bout of depression and almost blew my brains out.

I'm lucky enough to have heard just enough of Celine Dion to know she is to be avoided at all costs, but not enough to acquire any earworms. :scared:

70. I remember washing my car in the driveway one day....
...and the guy across the street had his garage open and was listening to Phil Collins, and he had the same fucking song (I forgot which one) on repeat. Which meant I had to listen to the fucking thing over and over and over and over again, literally at least 10 times in a row. I honestly wanted to cross the street and yell at the top of my lungs, "CHANGE THE FUCKING SONG, DIPWAD!!!!!!!"

But I didn't.

I don't know why, but for whatever reason that song is just sheer torture to me. Especially the opening few stanzas.

11. "Skyyyyrockets in flight....afternoon delight!"
"Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting..."



The souls of the eternally damned scream for swift vengeance to be taken against The Starland Vocal Band.

16. That reminds me of a great scene from "PCU"
Jeremey Pivan leads the cool underground kids and David Spade is the leader of the republican-like snot nose elitists. At a gathering of College Leaders including Jessica Walters, as an overly-PC Dean of students, Pivan breaks in and steals all the booze. He had found a CD that had "Afternoon Delight" on it - so before he leaves, he puts the CD in the player, hits repeat 99 and puts the volume to 10. He then locks the cabinet that holds the sound system (takeing the key) and uses one of those Clubs you use to lock steering wheels to brace the double doors shut for the party.

65. Someone asked something like "What's the lamest music you know?"
.
I was trying for the longest time to remember their name... and
upon failure, realized once again that life is full of precious
miracles -- if we but take the time to look.
.
But now... you've reminded me.
.
Thank you. And the horse you rode in on.
