Title: Worst Song To Get Clobbered To
Post by: amyfruitflavorins on January 16, 2013, 09:15:14 AM
For some reason, the first thing that popped into my head was "Shapoopie" from The Music Man.  How disorienting.  Buddy Hacket dancing in a candy-stripe jacket, blows reigning down.  Oof.

I'm thinking 'Let it Snow' would be particularly bad. Not only would it be jarring in the moment, but there's no way of avoiding it at the holidays. Every time it played you'd be brought back to broken noses and spitting out your teeth.

"Black Dog" b/c I'd have a Ludivico reaction to my favorite music like Alex de Large to Beethoven's 9th.

For disorientment's sake: "Stay" Lisa Loeb.

Yo La Tengo's "Story of Yo La Tango"  It would ruin my enjoyment of a great song forever, plus it's over 10 minutes.  So that's a pretty long clobbering. I've never been clobbered for more than 45 seconds or so and that was scarring enough.

R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts

If Quentin Tarantino had any real guts, this would be the music for his next extended torture scene.  Or Marty Scorsese would remove "Layla" from Goodfellas and put this in.
Title: Re: Worst Song To Get Clobbered To
Post by: dutch on January 18, 2013, 02:17:05 PM
I would go with either "Beat on the brat" because it gives the aggressor the suggestion of using a weapon (Baseball Bat) or "Tubthumping" because it encourages both the beater and the beaten to keep fighting.

We thought of many more tonight during dinner.  It's getting hard to narrow down....

Possibilities:

The ice skating song from Peanuts Christmas

"The Authority Song" by John Cougar Mellencamp

"Lucky Man"--ELP

"Parents Just Don't Understand"--Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (imagined a goon showing up with a massive vintage ghetto blaster.  Plopping it on the ground.  Rolling up his sleeves and saying, "sorry man, this is just how the boss told me he wanted it to be..." pressing the button.  "Parents Just Don't Understand" kicks in.  Beatdown commences.)

"TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS"  Seriously.  Ucccch.

And the one that gave me the worst skeevies:

"FREE BIRD."  Think about it.  Talk about insult on top of insult on top of insult.  Horrors.

Living in Hanoi at the moment and as the massive annual Tet celebrations approach it's getting increasingly difficult to escape the festive favourite "Happy New Year" by ABBA.

Let me elaborate on my choice a little.  Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock 'n Roll" would be horrible because you know the guys doing the clobbering would be getting into it, getting pumped up by it, and would start like preening and showing off for each other to it, and for them it would be like delivering a particularly brutal curbstomp was striking a really righteous blow for old time rock 'n' roll against all this new-fangled disco shit. And meantime you'd not only have to hear the song, you would know your asskicking was providing jollies for guys like that.

This topic was inspired by a friend of mine who was in a store that was playing this song when a group of large street toughs came in and started making a scene. There was no clobbering, but it seemed like a pretty bad song for it if it had occurred.

More time has now passed between that video and the present than had passed between 1959 and that video. Jeez.

Also, Billy Joel's "character" was supposed to be 18 + 25 = 43 in that video. Why did they make him look 65? He looks nuts now, but in some ways he still doesn't look as old as they made him look in that video.

Smooth by Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana

Good first post. I've been trying to decide what my first post should be.

I've been trying to decide what my first post should be.

You'll figure it out, eventually.

This is how my dad taught me about "the birds and the bees".  He had a twelve string and the production value was a little lower.

Some other ideas:

This was from the Doug Yule only album, the last track.

The Van Morrison Them version, not the later version without him.

Another take on that backing track. Could you stand hearing you own bones break as Beck Hansen croons out his LSD/sci-fi-inspired lyrics?

Will you last to the piano bit at the end?

My final suggestion.....the piano bit at the end is more plaintive, I think.
(edit: Video changed because the music video doesn't play the song to the absolute end for whatever reason.)

Don't have time to go through this whole thread. Has someone already suggested "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams?

Strangely I think someone did, I might be wrong
