TT: Worst Songs for Romantic Interludes

Thirteen Worst Songs for Romantic Interludes

I’m borrowing this idea from a short list on EW.com and expanding it a bit. The first 5 are from the original post from EW.com. The rest are my contributions. Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments!

“1. Mr. Roboto by Styx - The only thing robots put me in the mood for is break dancing. Plus, who wants a ménage à trois with Kilroy?

2. I Drink Alone by George Thorogood - Nothing spells romance more than an ode to solitary boozing in which the main object of affection is Jim Beam.

3. Anything by Weird Al Yankovic - Go ahead, you try being intimate to the sweet sounds of My Bologna. There’s nothing funny about that.

4. I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls - Good song, but you know in the heat of passion you’re gonna think about that dude’s wacky hairstyle. Too distracting.

5. Ninja Rap by Vanilla Ice - It’s Vanilla Ice rapping about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Is any further explanation really necessary?”

6. I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On by Robert Palmer - Good song, but the wrong message, ya know?

7. You’re Cheatin’ Heart by Hank Williams - unless you revel in being a two-faced, lying, cheating, scum bag and are doing it with your ho secretary while your wife is stuck home with the kids.

8. Independence Day by Martina McBride - “Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it’s Independence day.” Always sounded to me like she had revenge on her mind. Guys - watch out if your woman puts this song on the stereo when she’s getting romantic. She just might have something more violent on her mind. Remember Loreena Bobbitt?

9. Anything by Boy George or Cyndi Lauper - Weren’t they the same person? I mean, they had the same fashion sense. If I hear “I Tumble For Ya” or “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” I picture nearly the same hairstyle and clothing on a somewhat androgynous form. Not sexy at all and kinda creepy. Definitely kills the mood.

10. Anything by Michael Jackson - after watching the freak show of a court trial and hearing about all the wacky goings-on at Neverland, I’ll never hear one of his songs the same way again. And can you even IMAGINE him and Elvis-ette getting it on? Now THERE’s a freak show!

11. I Get Around by the Beach Boys - Ever heard of AIDS? Damn, boy! If you “get around” I don’t want to get around you!

12. The Chicken Dance - you know that stupid thing they make you do at wedding receptions? Not romantic at all.

13. The Hallelujah Chorus - well, not unless your partner’s REALLY good.

TT: Favorite Fantasy/Paranormal TV Shows

June 21, 2007 on 3:03 pm | In Just For Fun, MeMe's | No Comments

Thirteen Fantasy/Paranormal TV ShowsThis list is some of my favorite fantasy/paranormal TV shows. Not an all-inclusive list and in no particular order. I’m sure I missed a few, so feel free to add yours in the comments!

Highlander - an excellent extension of a sometimes questionable movie franchise. Loved this series!
Xena - She kicks ASS! Who wouldn’t want to be her?
Hercules - Kevin Sorbo and assorted hot guys with rippling muscles. Yum.
Missing - Who doesn’t love a psychic FBI agent who dresses like a hipster?
The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne - Steampunk with Michael Praed. Mmmmmm.
Robin of Sherwood - Michael Praed and Jason Connery. (Yep - Sean Connery’s son.) Yowza! I also loved the connection to Druid legends and the mystical take on the Robin Hood legend. Very creative and great writing, casting and musical score (by Clannad).
Forever Knight - LOVED this show when I was in grad school! Vampire cops from Canada. LOL
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues - Kane’s son grew up to be a hottie! So, um, the actor who played Peter Kane was also in Silk Stalkings, the Vin Diesel movie The Pacifier (which I loved!), and did the (super sexy Cajun) voice of Gambit on the X-Men cartoon.
Raven - a very cool, mystical martial arts show that didn’t last too long on CBS. Lee Majors was in it as a super-annoying con man, sidekick character named Ski. But the hero was incredibly hot and mostly shirtless, doing martial arts moves on the beach in Hawaii. Jeffrey Meek was his name, I believe. Very cool show! (If anyone knows where I can lay my hands on DVD’s of this, please let me know!)
Dark Justice - another favorite from grad school. It featured a Robin Hood-like vigilante judge who rode a Harley. By day he’s a buttoned up judge who follows the letter of the law. By night, he’s got a band of merry con men who entrap the criminals that escape the system and serve up their own brand of justice. A lawyer’s version of Robin Hood. LOL!
Sabrina The Teenage Witch - okay, I admit to stopping on this show when channel surfing all too often, but it’s so cute! I love the sarcastic talking cat.
Charmed - I watched a lot more of this when it first started, but got a little tired of the story line. Demons aren’t my thing. Sorry. (Which is why Buffy/Angel isn’t on my top list. I liked it as far as it went, but when it became a soap opera, I tuned out. Actually, the Buffy movie was hilarious, but the TV show started to take itself a little too seriously for me. Whatever.)
Early Edition - I loved that cat! LOL. And the star of this show had that Jimmy Stewart presence. Sort of the all-American good guy. It was a clever show that entertained with an often charming twist.
