Music To Torment By (Vanity)
December 9, 2008 | This Just In

Posted on 12/09/2008 10:55:37 PM PST by This Just In

As reported earlier today by msnbc, there are a number of musicians who want the military to stop using their music to torture our enemies. Frankly, if our military commanders really wanted to inflict serious psychological damage, they would drop flyers featuring images of these very musicians. A mug shot of Marilyn Manson would surely scar the Dickens out of the most war hardened devoted terrorist. Or perhaps a picture of Liberace lavished in fur and bling bling.

On second thought, those pictures would only provide the enemy with a false sense of security in believing that the United States, with characters like Marilyn Manson prancing running the stage and in public, is doomed to implode.

Naturally, this caused me to consider what kind of music I would wish to play for my enemies. The first song that popped into my mind was Muskrat Love. I am confident that a majority of individuals reading this post will not need me to tell them what artist performed that hit (Surely Willis Alan Ramsey must have been smoking some serious hash when he came up with that gem). The second opus that entered my mind was that infamous Barney song.

As I pondered a plethora of possibilities out there, I thought I'd enlist the help of you FReepers for some input in providing your very own personal playlist of songs to torment our enemies by.

Here are several of my own:

1. Shonberg's Pierrot Lunaire (Actually, this may be false start. Can the French really cause that much psychological damage?)

2. Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

3. Kajagoogoo's - Too Shy

I think liberals should be made to do Karaoke versions of that at every public gathering.

How about ‘All By Myself’ by Eric Carmen. I’d run my car smack dab into a tree just to clear my mind of that song.

“I think liberals should be made to do Karaoke versions of that at every public gathering.”

Yes, and while wearing the painted Sad Clown frowning face, with a hired mime and everything.

“I really underestimated the creepiness of the clown thing.”

Clown’s give my sister-in-law nightmares. She once watched a scary movie and the chief villain was a clown. She was never the same after that.

Personally, I don’t find them very funny or amusing. As you said, they’re creepy.

How about

Disco Duck
Rock Me Amadeus
Fish Heads

right now my head is about to burst with my 8 year old daughters favorite artist, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus

I’m partial to Commander Cody’s “Down to Seeds and Stems Again Blues”

Well my dog died just yesterday and left me quite alone
The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home
But that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you
And I’m down to seeds and stems again, too.

Fortunately, our family does not have televised programming. We view rentals, educations and film on DVD.

Forgot about Disco Duck.

I believe anything by Bartok would work. My relative once said that listening to Bartok made him feel like burning something to the ground.

Our family, otoh, thoroughly enjoy a lot of the HD programming. Nature and scenic programs really come alive. Not to mention the football!

If I may refer to this ancient thread I posted you will see.

A song designed by Mephistopheles's legions to torment humanity.

Was a great movie. Shame that Cagney didn’t do more comedy as he’s excellent in it but I think it was late in his career.
