The vengabus is coming.

gotta hire the six flags guy then

Maura beat me to the WWE entrances.

joke suggestion: 30 minutes of Idina Menzel 'Let It Go'

Or "Let It Go" in 42 languages! You'd only need to play it twice.

Serious suggestion: Stereolab's "Ping Pong."

sincere thanks for the real suggestions and lol suggestions, you guys have def helped me get a start on this thing

are you going to post the final list?

Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand"

just the noise outro on loop

http://open.spotify.com/user/callalldestroyer/playlist/6rp1LexjJMfMDBgdie2zYG

this is what i sent to my co-worker for a screening/second set of ears. ultimately i just didn't want to do anything that scanned only as middle-aged white guy music, so it's a combination of recent pop and 70s soul/r&b.

"champion" by kanye was the hardest thing to cut because i think it's perfect in a lot of ways, but he says shit twice and i didn't want to risk someone failing to get the clean version.

like the thought of using anything on this was extremely depressing.

haha i love how "happy" is first on the list, i remember someone here (lex) aptly describing it as a song for corporate meetings/conferences/team-building exercises

haha yeah it's a safe open because it's totally unfuckwithable for the situation

i was asked to come up with another 20 minutes or so....can't believe i forgot about "roar," duh

we had a party at work here on saturday --- party went for 5 hours or more, I swear they had maybe a 30 minute playlist on repeat the whole night

even the barstaff were commenting about how many times they'd heard certain songs

yeah i'm trying to pad this thing out a little bit because there's nothing worse than repeats

bastille - pompeii
imagine dragons - monster
imagine dragons - radioactive
onerepublic - counting stars

otm, those terrible songs are very good for my purposes. i did wind up using counting stars and radioactive.

Grass Roots - Sooner or Later

^ maybe fails the "non-romantic" test

gdammit all my hard work is getting ruined bcz ppl want to use the songs on like their workout playlists

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS
