Political Humor

A bunch of musicians including the likes of R.E.M., Pearl Jam, and Rage Against the Machine are mad their music was being used to torture prisoners at Gitmo.

They have a point. Those are good bands that generally play good music. When it comes to torture you want really annoying. The Meow Mix jingle, also used is not enough.

If I were in charge I’d play Nickelback, Daughtry, and every other band with the same sound and make the prisoners have to tell me which band is which or they get no sleep.

But I’m not running the show so all I can do is suggest songs that would really get under the skin of the terrorists until they gave in and spilled their secrets.

First up is this wonderful lyrical extravaganza.

Or how about this one.

This ditty would be good.

This one could be used in conjunction with the video. Tie in the “Clockwork Orange” therapy method for another layer of torture.

The terrorists would be screaming “uncle” after hearing this one non-stop.

If nostalgia and old-school musical torture is your thing this song is perfect.

But nothing tops this one. It is a song that gets in your head, and frankly, doesn’t end

Do you have any songs you’d like to see us use to torture terrorists? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below.
