On the regular music thread, our friend @TomSea offered us up Brian Hyland's pleasant cover of the Impressions'
classic "Gypsy Woman." Seized by an ungodly impulse, I couldn't resist countering by mentioning Hyland was the
same kid who---when he was sixteen, in 1959, and therefore still old enough to know better (as were the guys
who wrote the thing for him)---dropped this on us:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPg4SxMvxpg
Now, I have two memories of that song:
1) My young aunt Lois singing it to me to amuse me when I was five, which wasn't very amusing---not because she
didn't have a pretty voice, either. (She did. She was also very pretty herself, not to mention smarter than the proverbial
whip: she ended up joining IBM after her sons were in high school and, along with my uncle Ira, worked for IBM
until they retired in the Aughts.)
2) Billy Wilder (and I mentioned this in the other thread) used the song in his Cold War satire, One, Two, Three.
It was the song he had the East German secret police play to torture a suspected spy.
In the immortal words of Bob Newhart, it got me to thinking. Why the hell don't we pipe "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie
Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" into the cells of captured ISIS terrorists? I guarantee it. They'll surrender, spill, and convert
rather than have to sit through more than one playing of that. And for the poor saps who have to play it for
them, well, it could be worse . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIMSbKU2oZM&t=1193s
. . . for the poor saps, that is. (Please, let's remember that for our guys there's still such a thing as the Eighth
Amendment!)
Soooooooooooo, if the ISIS bastards need more than a mere itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini to yank
them inside out before some re-assembly is required . . . well, that's where you all come in.
Introducing . . .
The Official TBR Terrorist Torture Music Survey. In B Fearless.
What would you pipe into the bastards' cells to crack them? All entries welcome. All jokes welcome. Provisions
for hollowed-out headphones to give our guys so they don't have to hear it would certainly be welcome, I'm
sure. Sourpusses can provide their suggestions (thank you, WFB!) in stamped, self-addressed envelopes.
Let the Geneva Convention violations begin!!

@EasyAce GMTA on Barney. I wasn't aware of Foot foot or the other one, but they are definitely torture material.

That's the way to violate the ol' Geneva Convention.
Remember---the survey doesn't exactly have to be downright terrible, though it sure helps . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI0SngmFGdw
. . . but anything you think would turn the average terrorist's stomach will do just fine, such as this which
I actually like but you can figure out why a jihadist would think he was being tortured . . .

Compared to this (and this thing was made by a group of excellent jazz musicians who should have known better
than to dabble in whatever controlled substances had to have inspired it) . . .

Now, this isn't exactly the kind of torture we've been talking about or sharing, but I think you could
understand why a jihadist would have his nineteenth nervous breakdown over it . . .

(Fair disclosure: my new band has "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" in our book. We do it with guitar/
bass/organ/drums at low enough volume to make Miles Davis's In a Silent Way sound like
Led Zeppelin . . . )

Eldest grandaughter just arrived for breakfast (since I'm at home now, all the local grandkids get one on one breakfast and dinner with the old man - it keeps the peace) and she suggested this, on the condition I didn't actually play it where she could hear it:

No argument here. Put it all together, loop it, pretty soon tears of joy would come to their eyes when they heard the Barney song...that would be the beginning of the end.
Bwahahahahahaha!

I have to get off of this thread for a bit. Mrs. Joe is ready to crack (she can hear the "research"), and that wouldn't be pretty.
Between research and the lab/husky cross nose whistling, she said she has about 1/4 a nerve left and I'm standing on it. 22222frying pan

Obviously, you don't remember his Tin Machine experiment! ;)

absolute-must-have album of his career, may he rest in peace . . .)

Depending on several factors this may not be your idea of torture music or mine,
but it'll sure drive the ISIS insects out of their actual or alleged minds . . . (I'm only

What I do is a Google search for the song. In this case "disco duck youtube" The URL there is the one you want. Copy and paste it and remove the s.
