Need suggestions for a road-trip with co-workers play list
In a couple weeks I'll be going to a conference six hours away in a rented van with three of my newish co-workers. (I've had my current job for six months)

What songs should I make them listen to?

Annoying them is acceptable as long as it doesn't cost me my job, which I happen to like.

2. It's the End of the World As We Know It
I have a hard enough time traveling with someone I know and love. I think I'd have to kill someone if I was locked in a van for 6 hours with any of my co-workers. :scared:

8. Just added REM's version of Pylon's Crazy
If my co-workers aren't fans of Pylon it's time they got educated

4. Pull up and gun the engine really hard with this playing.
"666 the number of the beast."

Follow that up with

"you're gonna burn in hell"

and as you get on the interstate.

"Highway to Hell"

5. The only version of Highway to Hell I have is by Hayseed Dixie
Perhaps a trip to the local record store is in order

12. I honestly have no idea what the Rodeo Song is
One of the things I like the most about music is that there are always new things for me to discover

14. Here are the lyrics - it is a country tune
Well it's 40 below and I don't give a fuck,
Got a heater in my truck and I'm off to the rodeo

It's an alla man left and alla man right
Come on you fuckin' dummy get your right step right
Get off stage you god damn goof you know

You piss me off, you fuckin' jerk
You get on my nerves

Here comes Johnny with his pecker in his hand,
He's a one ball man and he's off to the rodeo

It's an alla man left and alla man right
Come on you fuckin' dummy get your right step right
Get off stage you god damn goof you know

You piss me off, you fuckin' jerk
You get on my nerves

Well it's 40 below and I ain't got a truck
and I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm off to the rodeo

Where it's an alla man left and alla man right
Come on you fuckin' dummy get your right step right
Get off stage you god damn goof you know

You piss me off, you fuckin' jerk
You get on my nervs

Here comes Johnny with his pecker in his hand,
He's a one ball man and he's off to the rodeo

It's an alla man left and alla man right
Come on you fuckin' dummy get your right step right
Get off stage you god damn goof you know

You piss me off, you fuckin' jerk
You get on my nerves

19. Maybe I'll just make them listen to You Don't Have to Call Me Darling 20 times in a row
The version of the Rodeo Song that I heard was by David Allan Coe.

22. Put this one on about 4 1/2 hours into the trip
They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well. . .

You left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right. . .

You know you laughed, I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?!!
Hah. . .

Well you just wait
They'll find you yet
And when they do they'll
Put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

lost
don't forget the beer cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25. If they are repubs, have them listen to Stephanie Miller,
Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, etc.

Especially if they are slanthead and limpball fans!

Make their heads explode!

35. The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack.
That'll be a good way to find out who has a sense of humor and who doesn't... :P

And it'll be a good way to see who knows all the lyrics and call-back lines...
