love it! But gotta say, in such a situation no self-respecting Head would show up to an attempted conversion with a copy of Steal Your Face!
The tucked-in shirts also would never happen

If I can find it, I'll scan in the "motivational" poster from my last Fortune 500 gig which showed a child in front of a bowl heaped with little green things, captioned "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your peas?" It was perhaps the most insulting thing I've ever personally heard from management, so of course I stole it. I am an American artist and I feel no guilt.

He didn't play this one when I saw him Thursday night, but he was pretty great anyway:

As a kids we always listened to a lot of comical music and it's really cool to find this stuff on youtube to show my grand daughter.
Yesterday I ran across an old favorite "witch doctor" which led me to "my boomerang wont come back", another favorite. I clicked
on it and started singing along. When I got to the part "I practiced till I was blue in the face" The video is singing "black in the face"
What? Am I that old that I don't remember the words? Then I notice "USA version" in the side bar video's and instantly click to that
one. Then I start reading the comments and American's hate the British version and visa versa Imagine that. Then I find this
link for an explanation.

Am I a bad person for liking this song?

This was one of my favorite compilation albums when I was a kid. I suppose it contained the American version. Good stuff!

I try not to dwell on death too much, but I’ve always wanted to at least go out with dignity. I wanted the story of my death to not be tragic or embarrassing, and now the story of my death is going to go like this: “He died on the Kid Rock Chillin’ the Most Cruise — a six-day festival at sea curated by Kid Rock, featuring acts such as Steel Panther and activities such as the “Hot Tub Bellyflop Contest” — after an inexperienced roadie tried to hammer a microphone plug directly into a wall socket, started an electrical fire and exploded a hole in the ship.”

Head and neck injury risks in heavy metal: head bangers stuck between rock and a hard bass.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risks of mild traumatic brain injury and neck injury associated with head banging, a popular dance form accompanying heavy metal music.

DESIGN: Observational studies, focus group, and biomechanical analysis.

PARTICIPANTS: Head bangers.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Head Injury Criterion and Neck Injury Criterion were derived for head banging styles and both popular heavy metal songs and easy listening music controls.

RESULTS: An average head banging song has a tempo of about 146 beats per minute, which is predicted to cause mild head injury when the range of motion is greater than 75 degrees . At higher tempos and greater ranges of motion there is a risk of neck injury.

CONCLUSION: To minimise the risk of head and neck injury, head bangers should decrease their range of head and neck motion, head bang to slower tempo songs by replacing heavy metal with adult oriented rock, only head bang to every second beat, or use personal protective equipment.

But wait! There's more!
