Oh, wow…I remember listening to that song just once. In 1960. For 20 minutes.

(sorry…)

**Excitable Boy** crossed my mind. But then, I’m not a boy.

**Never Learn Not to Love** - The Beach Boys. It was written by Charles Manson so I figure it has the street cred.

Depends on my method.

If I’m using multiple explosions, **1812 Overture**  
If I’m using poison, **O Fortuna** (starting as they realize something was in the drink!)  
If I’m following them through the woods, pursuing relentlessly to engage in melee, **Mars, the Bringer of War**

Am I overthinking this?

The first thing I thought of was “Killing me Softly with his Song” by Roberta Flack, but maybe because I heard it on the radio yesterday.

“Love Train” by the O’Jays

“People all over the World, join hands, start a Love Train”

Perfect music for putting a sharp spike slowly(very slowly) in the Medulla Oblongata from the rear. Er’ that’s what I hear every single time.

😉

That’s good for starters, but you might want to get out your Walkman and play the CD version. Part 1 is 25 minutes, so you don’t have to rush your spree-ing; go straight into Part 2 for an additional 24 mins, allowing you to spree at your leisure (Pt 2 is a little more jaunty than Pt 1.) Order now, operators are standing by. 😃

It’s a Small World After All.

In fact, now I’m trapped with that earworm for the rest of the week. I hope I don’t snap.

Try the Simpson’s version:

“Duff Beer for me, Duff Beer for you. I’ll have a Duff, you have one, too.” (ad infinitum)

Iggy Pop, [Lust For Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQvUBf5l7Vw).

Or for something beautiful, but creepy in this context, it has to be a golden oldie. Nat King Cole’s Wonderful World, maybe.
