26. The Internationale

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".

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

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.)

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.")

"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.
