"I HATE THE RADIO STATION AT WORK" SHOUTY RANT!! →[More:]OMG! SERIOUSLY, IT'S BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO SIT HERE ALL EVENING LONG OVERWHELMED BY TOO MANY TEDIOUS TASKS TO DO IN ONE SHIFT, DO I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE FUCKING "WARM FAVORITES" STATION TOO? SERIOUSLY, "DELILAH" MAKES ME WANT TO TEAR OUT MY OWN KIDNEYS AND STUFF THEM IN MY EARS!!! "*GLURG GLURG GLURG* OH AND HERE'S THAT DAMN LEANNE RIMES SONG THAT I PLAY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! AFTER THAT, SOME REALLY LOW QUALITY CHRISTIAN SOFT ROCK BALLAD, FOLLOWED BY THE THEME FROM THE GOLDEN GIRLS! ARE YOU STILL SANE? NO? THEN MY WORK HERE IS DONE! MWAH HA HA!!!" *Delilah turns into a giant spider monster and scuttles off to suck the soul out of some 28 year old mother of 3 whose husband is in Iraq and her mom is her best friend and her dog Patches just died of the hydrophoby*

Dude, she played the fucking Golden Girls theme. I once heard her play the theme from Cheers too. Bust out the theme from M*A*S*H* and you have yourself the soundtrack to a wristcutting.

PS, I finally remembered the "more" tag. Yay me!

Delilah is pure, rock-candy Evil.

She's one of those horrible unforeseen aural moments on a radio dial where, once you've heard even a few seconds, you are stained forever.

The only reason that asteroid missed our planet recently is because it knew, oh yes, it knew, Delilah would survive the blast.

She and her all succubitic, many-legged children.

They did the same thing at Abu Ghraib, but they had the decency to call it torture. Sorry EC, I've been in similar work environments, it's the worst.

So, I'm lost here. Is Delilah a song or an artist? I've never heard of either.

Yeah, control over my ears is a definite criteria for me in job searching.

I think Delilah is the DJ.

Delilah is a national syndicated radio host. One of those soft rock "dedicate a song to your loved one" saccharine djs.

Oh dear god. I had no idea DJs like this had made it past the 1970s.

dude, not only did they make it past the 70's - they breed in your walls.

Ick, I guess that's why I don't listen to commercial radio.

posted by octothorpe 07 March | 20:25

Given a choice, I wouldn't be listening to commercial radio either, but sadly I don't have a choice at work. Even if I turn it down in my area I can hear it everywhere else in the lab.

At least I protested against the 24hr Christmas music station and won. They start playing Christmas music on NOVEMBER 1st and play it until New Years.
