Politics Musical Psychological Torture for the Scofflaws Among Today's Protesters

Today, all across this great nation, legitimate protesters are protesting legitimate concerns, and, as usual, there are a few fucking morons breaking windows and nabbing all the press, which is too glib to actually interview someone sane and articulate. Therefore, I wish I could subject these handfuls of idiots to psychological torture of the nth degree. You could go the obvious route, and pick something like "Macarena," or "I Love You," Barney's theme song, but surely there's something even more punishing out there. Glenn Branca? Merzbow? WHAT SAY YOU?

For all we know, the 1996 modem sound was what got us into the WTO mess in the first place. Don't make it worse.

"We didn't start the fire" on repeat. It might have people raising fists for the first 2 listens, but watch the magical power of Joel calm the masses.

#7 -- no, Yoko is great and "Why?" would make great protest music. I vote for "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra.

Anything by any "popular" singer- Bieber, or the twat that screeched the one about the days of the week. If we're picking old songs so as to avoid royalty payments- Mmm-bop by Hanson should do it, oh wait... you meant something to avoid riots? Uhmmm... Enya?

They should have listen to a recitation of this on repeat:

...which is dumber and more annoying than the dumbest, most annoying song ever written.

I hesitate to mention this - because of the severe emotional, psychological & spiritual pain it will inflict, but I will anyway...

"Big Yellow Taxi" - Counting Crows

...Adam Duritz' wailing, as he butchers Joni Mitchell's mini masterpiece, is akin to fingernails on a blackboard ...pure torture!
