I PROMISE TO BE GOOD FROM NOW ON!

I personally don't believe in a literal HELL.
That being said if I am wrong I know exactly how I will be tormented for the rest of ETERNITY.

In order to receive my just reward of torment and anguish for whatever it was that I did wrong I wouldn't have to be roasted and jabbed with a pitchfork..Oh no.

You see there exists a punishment far more sinister and diabolical. A soul shredding condemnation so evil that I can barely summon the strength to contemplate its application...
I would be forced to listen to one song forever and ever...

Neil Sedaka singing BAD BLOOD
over and over and over again ...
just like 1975.

Do you remember ..

"It coulda been me but it was you
Who went and bit off a little bit more than he could chew
You said that you had it made, but you been had
The woman no good, no how, thinkin' maybe the blood is bad

Bad (ba-a-ad)
Blood (blo-o-od)
The woman was born to lie
Makes promises she can't keep
With the wink on an eye

Bad (ba-a-ad)
Blood (blo-o-od)
Brother, you've been deceived
It's bound to change you mind
About all you believe
Is takin' you for a ride"

(*wailing and gnashing of teeth can be heard)

The cruelest and most irritating part of the song is of course Elton John echoing the chorus in the background wailing...

Bad (ba-a-ad) Blood (blo-o-od)!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

I can only hope that HELL will freeze over before I get there.




WHICH SONG WOULD THE DEVIL PLAY TO TORMENT YOU?

  1. Heck, where do I even start? Achy Breaky Heart is up there. Ice Ice Baby. Show No Mercy. Barbie Girl. The list goes on. And on. And on.

  2. Torment my butt with songs of heavy metal.

    Have me having seizures and convulsions listening to that!

    Dante please come take me to the outer limits of hell.

  3. I am laffing too hard to comment.

    And now it will play on a loop in my head all week.

    Thanks a lot.

  4. HE, I think my Top 40 circle of hell resides close to yours: Paul Anka's 'Having My Baby.'

    How appropriate. Two 50's pseudo icons inflicting such agony. Makes me glad to hear the tale of how Jerry Lee Lewis once terrorized Paul Anka backstage in the 50's.

  5. stace,
    HA! You are doomed!Those will all be on heavy rotation.
    btw;I like Barbie Girl.

    awaiting,
    C'mon 'fess up....
    Isn't there any thrash tune in 5/4 time with growling undecipherable lyrics that you like?

    mj,
    Neener!

    frontier editor,
    OMG Yes! What a lovely way of saying how much you hate that song!

    Jerry Lewis..a bully?

    You are an evil, evil man.

    Sedaka.

    I'm sending you all of my therapists bills for this. And just wait until you get the bills from the pharamists!

    shudders

    And FE, did you have to drudge up Anka and "Having my baby"? I swear it's the fear of some edjit man singing that song to me that's kept me childless!

    crawls into the corner and assumes the fetal position... whimpering... must bleach brain

  7. Laura E: Just think how creeped out I felt for several weeks in junior high that someone like Paul Anka could even think of breeding.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Who can argue with FE's Anka choice?

    That said, I have a song in my head that is on a constant loop and I swear someday I'm gonna go completely bonkers as a result.

    I'll be out going about my business, and suddenly, out of the nowhere, this tune will come on over my personal interior broadcast system.

    Tell me if you recognize it from the first few lines. And let me just say this much... I am not a Fanilow.

    Are you ready? And a one and a two...

    Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
    With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
    She would merengue and do the cha-cha
    And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
    Across a crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
    They were young and they had each other
    Who could ask for more?

  18. Shame on you. That's a song I haven't heard or even remembered existed for, like, 25 years! Thanks a lot. You may not believe in hell but instant karma's gonna get you for sure!

  19. le editor du frontiere,
    C'mon, pleading 'Ankh-le' is not in the American lexicon. Canadians just say "OW I give, I give!"

    andrea,

    EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW! Brain Bleach!

    I'm sorry mj, but I love Manilow.

    I remember all my life
    Raining down as cold as ice.
    Shadows of a man,
    A face through a window cryin' in the night,
    The night goes into
    Morning just another day;
    Happy people pass my way.
    Looking in their eyes,
    I see a memory I never realized how happy you made me.

    Oh Mandy well,
    You came and you gave without taking,
    But I sent you away.
    Oh, Mandy well,
    Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
    And I need you today.
    Oh, Mandy!

    I'm standing on the edge of time;
    I've walked away when love was mine.
    Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
    The tears are in my mind and nothin' in rhyming.

    Oh Mandy well,
    You came and you gave without taking,
    But I sent you away.
    Oh, Mandy well,
    Kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
    And I need you today.
    Oh, Mandy!

    Yesterday's a dream
    I face the morning
    Crying on a breeze
    The pain is calling
    Oh Mandy
    Well, you came and you gave without taking
    But I sent you away oh, Mandy
    Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
    And I need you today Oh, Mandy
    You came and you gave without taking
    But I sent you away oh, Mandy
    Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
    And I need you

  22. But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe
    It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
    Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe
    And let it shine, shine, shine
    All around the world
    sing it to the world, sing, sing


    Don't ever try pop culture with a history major in the room - it gets really brutal

    ReplyDelete
  23. LAURA ELIZABETH YOU GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!
    I did this exact same thing to within, without..the whole song...
    BRAVO!

    I hate to admit it but I do actually listen to Mandy every once and a while but the rest are just too sickly...
    anyway thank you I deserve this karmic boomerang... and let us just say that you can expect a lyrical retaliation in your backyard in the very near future...

  26. I'm going to heaven! :P
    I wonder what songs will play in heaven, probably elevator music. If God turns on Celine Dion, I'll meet you guys in hell.

    My hell song would have to be something by Rush or Yoko. *shudder* Or maybe that fish heads song.

    Fish Heads, fish heads

  31. Thankfully, I have never heard that song.

    When I reach hell, it will be playing a mix of rap, country and songs by those crappy indie-rock bands that all the teenage girls listen to now.

    I guess that's why I find listening to the radio hell in itself now.

  32. that agadoo song you know...

    You've got each and every one of these songs among your 4,538 MusicMatch Jukebox personal collection.

  34. Any english Celine Dion song.

    By the way, I don't know that Bad Blood song. Perhaps it was before my time.

  35. Anything rap or country and you would convert me to Islam, second-day adeventisism, or anything, just to make it stop.

    When you get there it will be EMO bands 24/7! Rap and country will be elevator music in ten years so don't worry about them.

    Hey did you see that laura laid down Mandy! Instant Karma got me,

    anna,
    You do not prefer her pronunciation of the words
    love..'lurve'
    and baby..'baybay'

    the michael,
    I must confess that I did like Grandmaster Flash and the Sugarhill gang back in the day but now that genre has pretty much sold out...I predict a day somewhere down the line when the Lawrence Welk Retro Band will be performing 'I like the way you do that right THUR right THUR!'

    It's not all bad. I was able to
    see an example of a unit of measure, to which I've refered from
    time to time (without ever really considering its true magnitude).
    Some Bozo was peddling bubble gum
    tunes of the 70's (an anthology),
    7 or 8 CD's worth- now, that's a
    full Schittload of musical trauma!

Also annoying is anything disco like "Oh wonchu take me toooo FUNKY TOWNNNN?" And particularly annoying: Ebony and Ivory (Jacko and Paul), anything by Lionel Richie (baaaaabyyyyyyy, I think I'm capsizing, the waves are risin' and risin') or by Rod Stewart after Mandolin Wind (Iiiiif you want my body, and you think I'm sexy...)

    but he did.

    and so Michael bought the Northern Songs catalogue with all of those great Beatles songs and started whoring them out to advertisers like NIKE. Thus began the descent of Michael Jackson's career into freakville and his soul into hell....
