Anything Celine Dion (current track count at 29 and holding)

Okay, I think we have a winner...

Nah, I've got Enya on my player.

Who was it, on this BBS, that said it's cheap to be a fan of Enya because she never tours and you only need to buy the one album?

Actually, I'd have said buy one track from the Apple Music Store.

Nah, I've got Enya on my player.

I think Celine Dion is much more embarssing than Enya. At least you can say Enya is background music for studying or coding or something. I don't think anyone could use Celine Dion as background music with that shrill nails-on-chalkboard voice.

<best poker expression>

I see your Celine Dion, and raise you a Sarah Brightman & Andre Bocelli duet!!!

How about the Weird Al parody of achy breaky heart. I'm sure outside the car when you can't hear the lyrics it sounds like the original.

<Moe Szyslak>Awww crap, I fold.</Moe Szyslak>

<shuffles>

I see your Weird Al (I can match it), and raise you Frank Zappa's "Jazz Discharge Party Hats"...

This game is completely unfair. It's like we're all playing and you come in with a 33 gallon trash bag full of chips. Come on, you have every song ever recorded! Of course you have a few stinkers in there.

Valid point. And I must honestly admit that some of those tracks are not in my standard mixes, but are really only visible if you look for them on the player. Still...

I am looking for a good copy of Kermit the Frog's rendition of "The Rainbow Connection" from the Muppet Movie soundtrack. Amazon has them out of stock / used, but I refuse to pay $89 for it!!! I may be insane, but even I have my limits!

Edit: Senility strikes deep! I forgot to check ebay!!! Nevermind!

Here's a decent copy.

I have the Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman duet...
and I've seen Bocelli in concert...
and I have Sarah Brightman's entire album...
along with that Bee Gees dude and Barbara Striesand's album (my wife forced me).

Others include:

Adam Sandler's "At A Medium Pace"
Dalida
Lords of Acid's "Pussy"
Bloodhound Gang can get pretty perverse with songs like "You're Pretty When I'm Drunk" and "I Wish I Was Queer So I Can Get Chicks".

afroman,She won't let me [censored].That was on my 20 gig I bought off ebay.It came on when me and my wife were on are way out to dinner.She got alittle upset.

"Gulp"

I have William Shatner doing "It Was A Very Good Year"...

/me hangs head in shame. =^D

Ok, I have some Starship and the John William's theme from Back to the Future - great for driving up to 88mph!

Men Without Hats: Safety Dance

Men Without Hats: Safety Dance

How's this for sad - I found a copy of the video clip for that on Kazaa. I was actually out looking for other video clips and thought 'why the hell not' - and believe me, it's nothing like I thought it would look.

In my comedy list we have:
* Charlie Drake : My Boomerang Won't Come Back
* Scaffold : Lily The Pink
* Rolf Harris : Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
* Val Doonican : O'Rafferty's Motor Car
* Eric Bogle : Little Gomez
* Flanders and Swann : The Hippopotamus Song (Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud)
* Morris Minor and the Majors : Stutter Rap
* Dr. Demento - The Monster Mash

All classics - but then I have the entire collection of Goon Shows and a large swathe of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue on there, so I don't think my definition of 'classic' can be really orthogonal with everyone else's...

I went through the list looking for things that I'd have to censor should anyone sensitive to swear words get into the car, and I couldn't actually find anything! Well, maybe 'The Reefer Song' by Mindless Drug Hoover... or some of the Monty Python...

Have fun,

Paul

The original, or the Orb remix?

A vicar-proofing wendy filter on my empeg would have to exclude Fatboy Slim's "~ing in Heaven", Peaches' "~ The Pain Away" (actually, that whole album), that Alanis Morrissette song, the live version of "Kinky Afro", the original versions of "Short ~ Man" and "Go See The Doctor" (which I only knew the radio version of for years -- when I heard the original I was amazed they'd managed to make a radio version), and, most un-vicar-friendly of all even though it's got no lyrics, Lil Louis' "French Kiss".

I had sent a Camelot off for a potential customer demo, forgetting it was my own music collection one, rather than the "cleaned" one (which lost about 50 tracks with dubious titles) - Fat Boy Slim's "F...ing in heaven" apparently came up as the first song on a random choice. Lucky I wasn't there to see the scramble for the volume control! It's so much more fun when it scrolls across the screen at them, rather than waiting to see if they have noticed the lyrics.

I was also demo'ing an MP3 CD player to a car manufacturer's marketing guys (in my own car). I offered a selection of disks, and they chose a comedy collection. The first words on that disc are Bill Hicks - "Anyone here from Marketing - KILL YOURSELF - Just a suggestion".....

Whoops!

Agreed. It's just frightening that such a thing would even exist in this dimension, let alone on this planet.

Boxer, do you really own that, or are you just messing around?

Good lord; that's just down right frightening!

Men Without Hats: Safety Dance

Dude, Men Without Hats rocks. I have that and "Pop Goes the World" and "I Wanna Be A Cowboy". I also have an excellent cover of "Safety Dance" that The Echoing Green did a few years ago.

I have copious amounts of Weird Al, old school rap (Grand Master Flash, Ultramagnetic MC's, etc.) and entirely too many Madonna songs. That and my synthpop collection always draws strange looks when it comes up.

Actually, my musical tastes in general require a lot of explaining usually. But I'm not usualy embarrassed by any of it. Of course, if The Reverend Horton Heat's "Cowboy Love" were to come on with certain passengers in the car, that might be a bit embarrassing.

Boxer, do you really own that, or are you just messing around?

- er, only kidding - it's a joke, but I did know someone whose mother had it.
Many years ago a DJ in London, Kenny Everett, did a bottom 30 and one of the tracks from that LP was fairly highly regarded, along with Ferlin Husky's drunken driver song - if I can only remember which corner of Boxer Towers I put the cassette of the show in, I can claim legitimate ownership.
Many years ago, I was shown round the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe and they were finishing a shocking pink Roller - who the hell would buy/order that, we all said - and a few months later it turned up on Kojak: Just about as much taste as the L.P.!

Oh, But I do actually have this LP

A vicar-proofing wendy filter

Of course, the ordination of a gay bishop might require the creation of more than one filter to cover the subject!

You might be surprised what your vicar listens to...

A few additions to the list... Not because they're really that embarassing but because people are surprised I have them.
She Hates Me... Puddle of Mudd
It's Been Awhile... Staind
Bitch... Meredith Brooks

Bit late replying to this, but today 'C is for Cookie' by Cookie Monster came on. I couldn't even begin to explain.

How about sitting in traffic in the boy racer mobile on a friday night in the middle of manchester with the stereo up loud and trying to look cool. One minute it's Supermodified by Amon Tobin then on next it's the theme tune to 'Grange Hill'!

Random shuffle, it can be a blessing and a curse. Very embarrasing...

Uhm.. hehe.. Okay:

1. Gummi Bears / Talespin / Darkwing Duck Themes from Disney Afternoon.

I think THAT about wraps it up..!

Me.
