Music to torture terrorists by


Last week Mother Jones released a list of songs that are reportedly used as 'torture music' on terror suspects.

Says Mother Jones: "Music has been used in American military prisons and on bases to induce sleep deprivation, "prolong capture shock," disorient detainees during interrogations—and also drown out screams. Based on a leaked interrogation log, news reports, and the accounts of soldiers and detainees, here are some of the songs that guards and interrogators chose."

Topping the list is "F*ck your God" by Deicide. You can listen to a clip from the song on the Mother Jones website. What jihadist wouldn't crack after listening to this satanic, speed-core (complete with 'cookie monster' vocals) played at earsplitting levels 24 hours a day?

The list also includes the Barney song, the Meow mix jingle and curiously "Raspberry Beret" by Prince. Really?

Here are a few of my suggestions that didn't make the list:

Anything by Celine Dion (that bitch just annoys me)
the commercial jingle for Kay Jewelers
"Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham
The entire score of "Guys and Dolls"
"Proud to Be An American" by Lee Greenwood

Of course, there's more. But any of this stuff played 24 hours a day would cause me to either dig out my eardrums with a melon-baller, or confess to being a terrorist.

"Every kiss begins with Kay..."

O.k, I totally agree with that one, but I have to disagree with "Wake me up before you go-go".
C'mon! Doesn't it make you want to shake it? Just a little?

Fine. Nevermind.
