Mix Six: Hell and Heaven

As Kate Bush once wrote, “Some say that heaven is hell. Some say that hell is heaven.”  And so it goes with today’s mix for a Friday the 13th.  Remember: the majority of these were picked by yous guys, and some of you will probably quibble with what ended up getting love and being the object of hate. It’s all in fun, right?  Let’s start with the bad, shall we?

Five for Fighting “Superman” (Listen HERE)  In J’s version of Hell, it’s just a given that this song is on an endless loop. 

Rascal Flatts “What Hurts the Most” (Listen HERE) Maya just cringes when this song is on.  I’m not sure if it’s the “Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” at the end, but it sure isn’t helping things.

Shania Twain “Man! I Feel Like a Woman”  (Listen HERE) This one is mine, and I think it’s the perfect song to play when you want a party to end/clear a room.

James Blunt “You’re Beautiful”  (Listen HERE) Sorry Beenzzz, but your vomit-inducing tune made The List.

Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard “Can’t We Try”  (Listen HERE) Ml…I feel your pain. I used to play this POS back in the day when I doing the weekend DJ thing at KKIS in Concord, CA.

Dexy’s Midnight Runners “Come on Eileen” (Listen HERE) I was  surprised when C-Lo told me how much she hated this song.  But… “Some say that heaven is hell. Some say that hell is heaven.”

Saosin “Voices” (Listen HERE) Eric said that he has a love/hate relationship with this song. I have to admit to not knowing it, but I’ve played it a number of times and it’s pretty great!

Avril Lavigne “Girlfriend”(Listen HERE)  Maya picked this one ’cause she said that if there was one song she felt a bit guilty about liking, it was this Tony Basil/”Mickey” sounding ditty.

Hilary Duff “Come Clean”  (Listen HERE) Cherry is showing her love of frothy Disney Channel pop here! 

George Michael “Father Figure”  (Listen HERE) It feels like it’s 1987 all over again for Beenzzz. 

REO Speedwagon “Can’t Fight This Feeling” (Listen HERE)  J said she can’t explain it, but when this song comes on the radio, she finds herself just singing at the top of her lungs.  Again: “Some say that heaven is hell. Some say that hell is heaven.” 

Neil Diamond “Love on the Rocks”  (Listen HERE) I asked C-Lo why she likes this song so much, and she answered “Uh, duh…’cause it’s good!” 

 Happy Friday (the 13th) everyone. 🙂

  1. That was sensational! I’d like to point one thing out…almost every “Hell” song can be heard Monday-Sunday from 12:01am to 11:59pm on 101.7 KKIQ. Tune in and gag or just download the mix.
    Great job Py!

  2. Awesome mix! Thanks (I think 😉 ) for including my hell music.

    Have a great weekend!

  3. You’re so right C-Lo! Thankfully we DON’T play Dan Hill.

    Ml: If you want to bug the guy who farts all the time in the cube next door, just roll the “Hell” mix and turn it up. 🙂

  4. What a great idea! You should have heard this git yesterday – it sounded like an entire symphony playing over there! Thrombone anyone?

    Hey coming up to SF at the beginning of May. Would love to see you guys!

  5. Yay! I made it in the mix six! James Blunt…..AHHHHH! He’s like nails running down a chalkboard for me. Dan Hill comes in second. I think the rest are just peachy though. 🙂

  6. This is great. And thanks for the Saosin track. If you were to do another mix like this, I suggest some disco.

  7. I had to laugh last night when Py was putting this together…he kept saying, “I can’t believe I now have this crap on my hard drive!” Too funny.

    I don’t know why the heck I always sing to that stupid song, but I just do. Luckily, we’re always in the car.

    I liked Come On Eileen. Sorry C-Lo. And your Jazz Singer song blows. Not to get personal or anything, because YOU rock. But come on now…

  8. Py – I’m too nervous to listen to this mix as even the slightest whiff of James Blunt sends me psychotic. It’s a shame as there are some cracking tunes in the mix – but I can’t risk hearing Blunt.

  9. Ploop: If you want to avoid James Blunt, you can just click the individual tracks by choosing the “Listen HERE” link. 🙂

  10. Hey I know all of these songs. I danced to a few of them with the Lou-kies. That was fun. I love these guilty pleasures..
