Here's a helpful hint for all the fellas out there from Washington CityPaper's Amanda Hess: Performing Sublime's "Date Rape" at karaoke will not help you get laid. It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but she's got both video and anecdotal evidence to back it up.
Conversely, I understand Richard Cheese gets mad tail from this cover.
Shouldn't the real point here be that karaoke won't get you laid? That guy isn;t getting laid because of the song, he's not getting laid because he has given himself the nickname "SINNED" and looks like an Ed Hardy childrenswear model.
Also, Date Rape is actually a very ANTI date rape song. The "if it wasn't for date rape I;d never get laid" line is what the guy says in the song... before getting convicted and - ha ha - ironically I suppose, "His butt was raped / by a large inmate." Then something about him screaming but the guards not caring.
I would say some woman singing nirvana's Rape Me... or Polly Wants a Cracker... or any one of a number of Korn or Insane Clown Posse songs or Bloodhound Gang's "A Lapdance is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying" would be much much worse. Or, really, even some karaoke standard like Girls Girls Girls or Don't Go Away Mad, Just Go Away...
But karaoke does get you laid.
karaoke and sex are usually both symptoms of booze.
Don't forget Possom Kingdom by the Toadies. Serial killers are so sexy!
Oh, I should read the whole thread before posting.
On the otherhand, FEAR's "Fresh Flesh" brings orgies.
That '90s song "Possum Kingdom" that's all like told in the voice of Charles Manson would be another good one to avoid.
What if you sang "grape" every time the words called for "rape"?
The result would be kinda' the same as when Pulp Fiction is on TBS and Sam Jackson says, "It's the one that says bad motherflocker." That is to say, it would be ridiculous (and maybe even draw MORE attention to the word) AND you STILL wouldn't get laid.
I am shocked.
