JANUARY 6, 2008: OPERATION RESCUE
SAVED FROM THE DREADED TEN:


But it JUST got sent down in November! Edged out "Hot Hot Hot" by two votes.
SENT DOWN TO THE DREADED TEN:








This was tied with Creed's "Arms Wide Open" so we had a sing-off to see which song would stay on the badd list. No one would volunteer to save Creed so I had to play Scott Strapp. I've never heard the Creed version but I've heard Dave Grohl sing it so I just did that and Jude & Dear Diary butchered Sublime. So now Sublime fans are going to have to pay $10 for the only song we have. I can't wait to have to explain that.
CRAPPY REQUEST I JUST BOUGHT:








Crappy? Well, just boring. Beat Alice In Chains' "Rooster" by just one vote.
CONTESTS WE WILL BRING BACK:
BEST FUCKING KARAOKE CONTEST EVER (SONGS WITH CUSSING)&TRANNY NITE (BOYS SING GIRLS, GIRLS SING BOYS)plus 2008 Karaoke Contest winner Jude Evans says he chooses to bring back Rednecks, White Trash & Blue Ribbons.Dates sooN!
