Barney, Babylon Tortures Terrorists

I don’t know about the rest of you, but the theme song to Barney (that “I Love You” song the giant purple dinosaur sings. If you’re not familiar with it, I’m sure the President is…) sends chills up my spine, and not because as a young girl, I installed a hack so that the bosses and demons in Doom sang it when they snuck up behind you in dark hallways on Mars/The Moon/Wherever the hell that portal to hell was. There’s something just really, really disturbing about a rather effeminate purple t-rex telling children how much he loves them (and loves to kiss them! HELLO!)

Apparently, I’m not the only one (who finds the song disturbing, played Doom as a child, or both) because the US military prisons have, apparently, been using it along with a few other songs I find annoying, including:

Bulls on Parade – Rage Against the Machine
Stayin’ Alive – The Bee Gees
Babylon – David Gray
Bodies – Drowning Pool
Kim – Eminem
Enter Sandman – Metallica.

I hope that they paid for the rights to Enter Sandman — we all know litigious Metallica can be when it comes to downloads of their music, and I’m sure playing it for untold numbers of people counts as performance.
