Basically, the thing here is to take a song and find its opposite. Ideally, playing these two songs at the same time would make the radio station implode. This all began because there’s a new song out titled “Superman” (I can’t remember the name of the group that sings it), and I was thinking - what would happen if you played that song and 3 Doors Down’s hit “Kryptonite” at the same time? Or Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC? Or “Nobody Knows” by Kevin Sharp and “Everybody Knows” by Trisha Yearwood? You get the idea. Your turn. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by missdavis102 \* > Little Red Corvette > vs. > Pink Cadillac > (neither of which is sung by The Cars) You can add “Little Deuce Coupe” to that one. There’s something about “California Girls” by the Beach Boys and “Where the Boys Are” by Connie Francis that seems oddly appropriate. Or inappropriate, maybe:) ---
