14. The Rolling Stones' "Cocksucker Blues"

― Lee G (Lee G), Thursday, 12 December 2002 19:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

My singing voice would cause everyone to beat me up.

15. "A Little Respect" by Erasure

― James Blount, Thursday, 12 December 2002 19:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Y.M.C.A.", particulalry if I was doing the attendant arm movements. Destined for a can of whup-ass from my grain-fed farm-boy classmates.
They were mean, amoral bastards.

16. "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People. Just wanted to formalize that.

Tindersticks, "Travelling Light"

I'm sorry, but anyone who gets beat up by the physics club deserves it.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 12 December 2002 22:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

I didn't get beat up, but I distinctly remember a classmate telling me to "shut up" when I was singing "Seven Languages" by Camper Van Beethoven. I guess that would make this one #22.

"One" (the "one singular sensation every little step she takes" song) from A Chorus Line.

picturing someone singing this in a grade school hallway just made me laugh out loud at my desk and get a funny look from a temp!

i'll ruin her

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 12 December 2002 23:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

23. Frankly Mr Shankly
24. On The Street Where You Live
25. Lady In Red

― Charlie (Charlie), Friday, 13 December 2002 00:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think singing Lady In Red would provoke a beating at any age.

"You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'" by Leo Sayer

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 13 December 2002 03:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

I actually got clotheslined by some Another Bad Creation fans in elementary school for having the R.E.M. "Losing My Religion" cassingle as they chanted "R.E.M. Sux!" I'd hate to think what would have happened if I sang the song.

Pete Shelley, "Homosapien"

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 13 December 2002 03:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

shit. sorry fritz. you got it first.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 13 December 2002 03:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I remember one kid who got in big trouble with a teacher for singing "Just A Gigolo". Evidently gigolo was a "bad word."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 13 December 2002 03:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Tiptoe through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim?

― Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Friday, 13 December 2002 05:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ready For The World "Oh Sheila" -- pummeled.

― Winslow (winslow), Friday, 13 December 2002 06:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

26. The Internationale

― Fritz Trotsky, Friday, 13 December 2002 07:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Not a beating, but in grade six someone brought in a tape of their cousin singing "Lollipop", which everyone had a hearty laugh at. I should talk, there once existed a tape (same timeframe, even) of my best friend and I singing a terrible acapella rendition of "Man In The Mirror".

"Do you really want to hurt me?"

The theme song of Karate Kid Part II by Peter Cetera

― William R Henderson (Cabin Essence), Saturday, 14 December 2002 06:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hard to get beaten up in a girls' school. My Leonard Cohen impersonation would've done it though.

― Hilarious Pseudonym, Sunday, 15 December 2002 04:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

27. "The Rainbow" by Ween.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 15 December 2002 04:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

"It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"
"Ring Morning Bells"
(sung in high, vibrato 'English lady' voice)

Anything and everything by The Polyphonic Spree.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 25 December 2002 17:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Anything by Kylie.

I am still waiting for the opportunity to write, in a review, that even if you went to a high school entirely composed of Belle and Sebastian fans you would still likely get beaten up for liking Blueboy's "Imipramine."

(This is a song where Blueboy sort of try to umm "rock," and the singer puts on this breathy wounded yeah-yeah-yeah voice and starts off singing "you said love can break a boy's heart ... I said there's no - such - thing ... no - such - thing." And then for the chorus he's all "Pessimistic an-gel ... pessimistic an-gel..." like this is the most hardcore thing ever.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 December 2002 21:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Come to think of it Blueboy as a whole is just so begging for a swirlie at any North American middle school that maybe the sheer hubris of it would protect you. (Although good luck with sweetly-sung lines like "you think it's so easy pigeonholing my sexuality" and especially "I'm young and quite pretty, don't hurt me.")

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 December 2002 21:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Sensitive" and "Fabulous Friend" by The Field Mice would do as well. Sometimes I'm tempted to beat myself up when I listen to The Field Mice.

The theme song of Karate Kid Part II by Peter Cetera

That would be "The Glory Of Love" and you're absolutely spot-on - it's right up there with "Walking In The Air" on the scale of one to whuppass.
