Cruel and Unusual

What do songs by Barry Manilow, Eminem, Nine Inch Nails, the theme from Sesame Street, Enter Sand Man, These Boots Were Made for Walkin’ and I Love You (by Barney) have in common.

Yes, you guessed it; they were all used by various government agencies as a means of torture.

With the exception of I Love You by Barney and anything by Eminem there are probably better choices and I guess I could make a few suggestions but I will keep my opinions to myself.

    I wonder if the CIA pays the proper usage fees?

     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    A few minutes of Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed could do anyone in.

    Aren't they exempt from this fee since they have exclusive rights to use Warez?

    I don't know.

    I'm just thinking that writing torture songs might be lucrative (and take advantage of my natural "talents").

    I have yet to record my voice , and if you're looking to make millions in this torture thingy for someone to collaborate with on this venture, I know I can bring in a whole new dimension into this project. (In my karaoke circle, I'm known as The Head Turner).

    Do they translate them to other languages? It's the same as seeing the same TV commercial for several years.
