"Do You Wanna Dance" by the Ramones

In my opinion, this is the second catchiest song of all-time, behind only "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

"Mickey Mouse Theme" from Full Metal Jacket

Such an eerie scene.

The comments on the video's actual YouTube page are worth a glance because they're hilarious. Due to it being a place where people are going to have their things read, the commentary is about the relevance of Vietnam War, and debating over whether it was a good war or not.

Although slightly different, I'm partial to this comment:

"Imagine Charlie listening to Mickey in the dead of night wondering what these sick Americans are singing. Spooky."

Seriously, I like that comment. At the very least, it's much better than:

"Vietnam War is a really complex thing to discuss about. They called the wrong generation for a right war battled in the wrong way. Vietnam became communist and it wasn't good for Vietnam people."

Uhhh, sure, daveinrome.

"Tango til They're Sore" by Tom Waits

Meeting Michael Bluth

During a press stop for Hancock (although he talked mainly about Arrested Development, the reason I was there), Nadia and I got got to meet Jason Bateman, and we got pictures with him and he autographed my copy of Arrested, season one.

"Lie to Me" by Tom Waits

The Darkest Night

A few nights ago, I had a dream in which I was a citizen of Gotham City, where Batman takes place. What made this dream special was that the townspeople, myself included, were under attack by...the Joker, specifically the Heath Ledger version, not Jack's.

As The Dark Knight inches ever closer to being released, I'm looking forward to it more and more--including, evidentially, even when I'm sleeping in dreams, although this was more of a nightmare.

I, along with about 30 others, was waiting on a subway platform for a train to arrive, when we heard banging and crashing from above. A few Gothamities went to take a peek to see what was going on, but moments later, there was screaming, and we all knew that they had died. I woke up just as soon as the Joker's shadow was becoming visible on a wall, and his voice could be heard.

Last summer, I really looked forward to The Simpsons Movie and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but never so much that the film crept into my unconscious. Now all I have to do is wait until July 18 at 12:01 a.m. to see if Nolan's The Dark Knight is as scary as Josh Kurp's The Dark Knight.

"Heroin" by the Velvet Underground (acoustic)

Just fantastic.

The first time I ever heard "Heroin," it scared the shit out of me. It was while driving to my job at a local supermarket, Price Chopper, from my senior year of high school internship. As soon as the song started, I felt chills and knew that I'd never hear a song like this ever again.

To this day, I still haven't.
