This is a topic I stole from a girl named Krissy, a friend of a friend who I do not know.
The topic is: ironic songs to hear on hold, while calling a hotline.
Krissy's 2 classics are:
"I Won't Forget You" by Poison - on an Alzheimers hotline.
"Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J - on a Child Abuse hotline.
Krissy & I both independently had:
"I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar - on a traffic school register-by-phone system.
Here are some of my ideas:
"Changes" by David Bowie - on a hotline for those considering Sexual Reassignment.
"Hard To Handle" by The Black Crowes - on an Erectile Dysfunction hotline.
"Me Myself and I" by De La Soul - on a hotline for Schizophrenics.
"Summertime Blues" by various (Beach Boys notably) - on a Seasonal Affective Disorder hotline.
"Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran - on an Anorexia hotline.
"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood - on a hotline for people with nervous issues.
"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen - on a hotline for people grieving the loss of loved ones.
"You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" by BTO or "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood - on a hotline for people with stuttering issues (you may have to think about those songs a bit).
"Parents Just Don't Understand" by Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff - on a hotline to help parents talk to their kids.
"Loser" by Beck - on a hotline for athletes trying to get over a tough defeat.
"She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd - on a hotline for dudes trying to overcome a rough breakup.
"Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar - on a hotline for bullies trying to change their lifestyle.
"Blow Up The Outside World" by Soundgarden - on a hotline for reporting potential terroristic threats.
"Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin - on a Depression hotline?
"Freedom" by George Michael - on a hotline for prisoners (made better by the fact that he likes man sex).
"Touch Me" by The Doors - on a hotline for molestation victims (sorry).
"Big Balls" by AC/DC - on a Penis Envy hotline.
"Walk Tall" by John Mellencamp - on a hotline for midgets.
"Beat It" by Michael Jackson - on a hotline for those obsessed with masturbation (ummm, I'm like, not one of them, or something).
Disclaimer: there is nothing funny about any of the diseases, conditions, or situations listed above (aside from E.D. and of course midgets).
How about-"The little things that kill" by Bush on a hotline for midgets.
ReplyDeletep.s. now I'm obsessed with the idea of there being a hotline for midgets. What do they talk about?
"My Generation" by the Who for the stuttering hotline
ReplyDeleteExcellent contributions y'all!
ReplyDeleteA midget hotline: they would discuss all the woes of being a midget, such as being called a "midget" vs a "little person," the ethics of dwarf tossing, and playing stand-ins for child actors.
How would you like to be the one fielding the calls for the stu-stu-stuttering hotline? Oh, that would be so fru-fru-frustrating!
