Milos! "I try hard to be good workerman, but refigemator so messy. So, so messy."
D'oh! I really wanted to include "Complaint Box" in the list but I couldn't think of any musical references, but now it dawns on me (which is to say smacks me upside the head)... Shaft! "I thought we'd all enjoy that." D'oh! -- there's also, "'I have doobie in my funk,' which I assume is some sort of reference to the Parliament Funkadelic song, 'Chocolate City.'" My mind is mush.
Not work safe, and really, really odd.
For those of you who can't check it out, two people whose organization, or maybe their motto (I don't feel like checking), is "Fuck for Trees," did just that onstage at a concert. Apparently they've done it, and not just in a manner of speaking, in other public venues. Doing it in public is in fact their m.o. The story Gandalfe linked to has pics from the show. The, ahem, moneyquote: "'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."
"'The goal is to take over the entire commercial porn industry and transfer all the money to protection of the environment,' Ellingsen explained."
I think the word "explained" really should be in quotes here.
A banner was raised on stage informing the audience that the couple was having sex to save the rainforest.
This makes Lennon and Yoko's "Bed-in for Peace" look sensible.
Well, it's all about wood isn't it?

That would explain the Green Peace and Viagra sponsorships.

Ah, complaint box. I think I have that whole exchange as an mp3 somewhere.
I heard about that Fucking for the Rainforest couple on another board the other day, but had forgotten all about them. It's funny all over again!
In case people were complaining about the lack of fun songs about necrophilia, Of Montreal has delivered with "Chrissy Kiss the Corpse".
In other news, I just heard a Mamas and the Papas cover of "Twist and Shout." It was...wrong.

Yeah. But there are even more wrong covers out there. Paul Young's soulful crooner version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" comes to mind. Also Grand Funk Railroad doing "Gimme Shelter."
Wrongest possible combination imaginable? (though never done) I'm thinking that Most Wrong would be Abba covering "Strange Fruit."
I've got a hate on for Rod Stewart doing Downtown Train.
My favorite necrophilia song is Robyn Hitchcock's "My Wife and My Dead Wife."
"And I can't decide which one I love the most
The flesh and blood or the pale, smiling ghost"

The only positive is that Tom Waits got a bunch of money for it. At least I assume....

How about Slayer doing "Sugar Sugar"? Or NSYNC scatting their way through "A Love Supreme"?
