truth or dare, question #4

This question comes to us courtesy of Yuki

If you had to stuff a loudspeaker blaring one CD for eternity into the anus of your greatest enemy, which CD would you choose? And why?

I would make a mix cd and put music on it that would remind him of the days when we used to be good friends. Music from the good old days, before he betrayed me and everything I stand for and all the people I love. Music that would force him to keep revisiting those painful old memories of the days when he was an actual, honest-to-god human being, if he can remember back that far. Those memories of how he lost ALL of us as friends - and how uniting against him just made us stronger. And, if someday he managed to become that person I used to love again, I would take it out.

At first I was going to say “Styx - Edge of the Century,” but then I realized that there are so many more horrible CDs out there. I mean, anything by Rod Stewart. Horrible musicals (“Metropolis” comes to mind; maybe the broadway cast album of “Jekyll & Hyde.” Michael Bolton’s opera album (“My Secret Passion.”). Oh wait, that one’s definitely the one I’d pick.

Lay off “Jekyll & Hyde”, you! It’s better than the version of it YOU have, with Colm Wilkinson wishing he could still sing without sounding like a hyena in heat! ;)

At least that was before Leslie Bricusse somehow managed to torch his own lyrics and write the hackfest that was eventually released on Broadway. The 1995 double-disc concept album has worth simply because of Anthony Warlow, love that voice. The Broadway… it’s just a waste.

yukino @ 04:38 PM | 2002/09/18

okay, HELLO. The double-disc one is the one I’m talking about. That’s the one I like. The one with Linda Eder and Vic Wardlow. Yes?

So we’re arguing about nothing….(?) Can’t we just get along?

freesia @ 04:41 PM | 2002/09/18

Ah, better.

But still (I can’t resist):

MURDER! MURDER! ONCE THERE’S ONE DONE
MURDER! MURDER! CAN’T BE UNDONE
MURDER! MURDER! IT’S IN LONDON
BLOODY MURDER IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

okay, fine. That song is stupid. But lots of it is good!

You can’t discount the whole thing just because part of it is bad. I mean, if that were the case, I couldn’t hang out with you anymore. I’d be like “Sure, I love Mike and he’s a great guy, but he can’t quite seem to ever clear those poles at Best Buy, so therefore he’s a TOTAL PUSSY and I never want to see him again!” You know?

As far as silly lyrics go, don’t MAKE ME go back and refer you to all of the lyrics of yours I’ve got in my blog. I’ll do it! Don’t tempt me!

i’m not sure yet
but i’m leaning to “leavin’ on a jet plane”

the original
not the 69 cover
and most DEFINATELY not the version my band does

nenie @ 09:15 PM | 2002/09/18

Anything by Britney Spears, N-Sync, Backstreet boys, etc…. I can’t stand that teeny-bopper shit

Whatever that Toby Keith CD with the “We’ll put a boot in your ass” song is on.

jet @ 07:33 AM | 2002/09/20

oh, god, don’t start with that song, please? please? I’ll do anything you want.

Nobody likes the Toby Keith attitude, it seems. Sigh. Y’all need to take a load off and come out west. ;)

There was a compilation made by the members of JAZZ-L some years back of the absolute worst songs of all time, called Weird Sh*t. It’s horrible, godawful crap, almost all of it. I think I’d use that.
