You remember the old game people used to amuse themselves before the internet was invented? You know, thinking of song titles that include the word "love" and then replacing that word with the word "crack" in order to make them funnier? Like, "The Power Of Crack" by Huey Lewis And The News, "I Want To Know What Crack Is" by Foreigner, "Greatest Crack Of All" by Whitney Houston, and, of course, "Addicted To Crack" by Robert Palmer.
Well, I do, because it changed the way I listen to hit radio, watch MTV and read music charts, forever. But now, I'd like to
inflict another plague sprinkle even more amusement on mankind, namely, by inventing a variant of that old game. In it, you simply substitute the word "us" with the much funnier word "ass" in your chosen song title.
Here are some examples for your listening pleasure:
All About
Us Ass - t.A.T.u
Breaking
Us Ass In Two - Joe Jackson
Can't Hold
Us Ass Down - Christina Aguilera
Don't Forget About
Us Ass - Mariah Carey
I'm Waking Up To
Us Ass - Belle and Sebastian
Love Will Keep
Us Ass Together - Captain & Tennille
Love Will Tear
Us Ass Apart - Joy Division
Never Tear
Us Ass Apart - INXS
Nothing's Gonna Stop
Us Ass Now - Starship
One Of
Us Ass - Joan Osborne
Tearing
Us Ass Apart - Eric Clapton
The Difference Between
Us Ass - The Dead Weather
The Planets Bend Between
Us Ass - Snow Patrol
They Don't Care About
Us Ass - Michael Jackson
What About
Us Ass - Ministry
You Love
Us Ass - Manic Street Preachers
You've Made
Us Ass Conscious - The Audition
Two Of
Us Ass - The Beatles
Us Ass - Regina Spektor
Us Ass Against The World - Westlife
Us Ass And Them - Pink Floyd
Come to think of it, you could go one step further and replace both "love" and "us" in some song titles, like "Crack Will Tear Ass Apart" by Joy Division. But no. That's vulgar.

Due to the fact that I have finally started tearing myself away from academia, I got myself a (nearly) real job and no longer spend all day on the internet because I have patients to attend to. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find three new posts on this blog when I finally got around to having a look. Such excitement! I have to admit that this post was not particularly boring and it made me laugh.
