My deodorant ran out this morning. As I woefully pondered the empty plastic tube, Boyz 2 Men‘s “We’ve Come to the End Of the Road” started going through my head—which struck me as pretty funny, if I do say so myself. Thank you, subconscious!
The question is: Can you do any better? What should have been the soundtrack to my deodorant running out? Note: “That Smell” is taken.
I look forward to your responses.
HVB
Dramatic Re-enactment
How about Odorono?
Easy. The “Mandom” theme song!
James Brown, “Body Heat.” Hell, almost any JB song suggests, nay, screams out, sweatiness.
MC5’s “Skunk (Sonically Speaking)”
Smells Like Teen Spirit? too easy.
Oh, nice tags, HVB.
I like “Body Heat,” but what does it say about the fact that my deodorant ran out? There’s a sense of loss that most of these are missing. “Odorono” is at least wistful!
Poppa don’t take no mess, and JB don’t use no deodorant. A man’s gotta sweat. Bobby, can a man sweat over here? Can I sweat one time?
Those who get too close to you today may find it’s “Yesterday Once More.”
Cat’s In The Cradle.
Possibly the Ugly Kid Joe cover.
Is That All There Is? comes to mind.
How about -depending if you like Fritz’ stank –
“Close to You” or
“We got to get out of this place”
“Running on Empty”
So far Mod’s in the lead with “It’s Yesterday Once More.” Nice!
Spray or stick?
The 1975 single by Spinal Tap, “Nice and Stinky”. If you weren’t a dude it could have been Robyn Hitchcock’s “Filthy Bird”.
Your deep sense of loss might have been expressed by “Can’t Stand Losing You”.
George Harrison’s “Isn’t It A (Pit)y.”
Nice!
