Torture Music Vol. 1

There has been claims that the United States has used music during interrogations as psychological warfare to try and get information from prisoners of war. Some of those songs are of the metal nature and include the Deicide’s “F*ck Your God, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”, and Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”. Other songs not in the metal category are the Barney “I love you” theme song and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The USA”.

I gots’ to-a-thinkin’ and thought…if I was to be interrogated, what songs would absolutely be torture for me to listen to over and over? Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head that if played…I would start singing like a drunken redneck at a bar when Hank Williams Jr. played on the juke box.

• Dragonforce: Through The Fire And Flames
• Any and all Britney Spears cd’s
• Anything that features Ja Rule
• Anything that features DMX
• The 4 Non Blondes – What’s Up
• Narcosis: Their entire catalogue (Seriously, this would drive me bat shit)
• Century: Black Ocean CD
• Metallica: St Anger CD
• Anything by Papa Roach
• John Lennon: Imagine (This is a great song that I can only listen every once in a great while. If I listen to it too much I start screaming anti-hippie stuff at the stereo and shut it off)

No just for laughs I thought of a few songs that they could probably play over and over and it wouldn’t even phase me. I would probably happily sing along ever time they played it. They’re also kind of guilty pleasures.

• The Bloodhound Gang: Fire-Water-Burn (I still love this song even though it’s become such a frat-boy sing along)
• Dynamite Hack: Boyz N Da Hood (not very metal, I know but I love this rendition)
• Nirvana: Penny Royal Tea (There is something soothing about this song to me)

Now there is a ass load of other songs that I would happily opt to hear over and over, but I’d be here al night.

What songs or music would work well to torture and get information from you?
