Iraqis interrogated by US troops have complained of mistreatment such as this:

Al-Abally, 39, said that while he was bound and blindfolded, he was kicked, forced to stare at a strobe light and blasted with ''very loud rubbish music.''

So if you were interrogating enemy prisoners, what would get heavy rotation? Why do you feel it would be effective?

Any Clear Channel station would likely do.

Every song mentioned in last week's stupid lyric poll, with heavy emphasis on "I've Never Been to Me."

Oh, and everything Creed has every recorded.

Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song" should provoke a response. :devil:

Agree with you on Creed. But many of the stupid songs discussed last week start to grow on you, like a fungus. If you want an Iraqi to spill the beans on WMDs and stuff, you can't get there by playing songs about Pina Coladas and cakes left out in the rain. You've got to fry their brain. For interrogating enemy prisoners, you need something like Pigface, early Metallica, or endless bluegrass (I like bluegrass, but the human mind can only handle so many banjo solos).

Edited to add: I've reconsidered my position on Creed. We just want to interrogate them. We don't want to kill them.

Does anyone remember the music they played outside Noriega's compound, after the US invaded Panama and had him isolated? The only song I remember was "I Fought the Law, and the Law Won."

Heavy metal.

Loudspeakers, leaflet drops, radio and television broadcast, wanted posters as well as posters to turn in weapons for money, were all used in Operation Just Cause in 1989-1990 in the arrest of Manual Noreiga. It has been reported that heavy metal music playing 24 hours a day hindered Noreiga and his camp to think, plan, and sleep. (Clancy, Stiner, Klotz, 2002) This is an example of PSYOPS success.

Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" stuck in my memory, which was right for a change.

As to why so many people seem to expend inordinate amounts of energy to talk against homosexuality.

It is my experience that people who have a hard time understanding something sometimes over-argue the point to try and "convince themselves."

To people who take the bible literally, some of the hardest areas to deal with involve those biblical passages that are quite discriminatory e.g., prohibition against male homosexuality, slavery, etc.

It may be that many of these "anti-gay" people have an impossible time reconciling the biblical "anti-gay" position with their general tolerance towards other people and are vocal because sub-consciously they are trying to convince themselves?

What do you think?

My favorite from the list is definitely Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner. Oh, the IRONY!

More importantly, does anyone have musical recommendations for playing outside Frist's office until he concedes? How about a few choruses of TRB doing "Glad to be Gay"?

Anything by Queen.
Edited to add...and the Village People.

I don't know - Fat Bottom Girls isn't exactly a gay anthem.

No? You don't think Fat Bottom Girls sung by a gay man would drive him out of his house. Plus all the amusement of seeing the neighborhood stoners head bangin to Bohemian Rhapsody....c'mon!
