Excerpt from an email from the head of our IT department at work:

In other news, India is about as much fun as I remembered it being, and the 12-hour workdays are killing me.  By the time I get back to the hotel room, all I want to do is sleep.  So I doubt I'll be online very much over the next month.  I'm drafting entries piecemeal so I may/may not have a post up about once a week, depending on my level of productivity.

My wife works out regularly at the YMCA in town - sometimes she does the aerobics classes, but on the weekends she'll just go use the exercise machines.

Devil Flanders

Anyway, Saturday, while she was there on the elliptical machine, she noticed the song playing over the speakers was none other than Van Halen's Runnin' with the Devil.

We've got a pool going on which song she'll next hear at the YMCA that will evoke a similar sense of irony.  My vote is on AC/DC's Highway to Hell, my wife is going for Squirrel Nut Zippers' Hell.  Others we discussed but decided not to go with:

- Tenacious D's Tribute
- Sum 41's Hell Song
- Toadies' Hell Below, Stars Above
- Sting's St. Augustine in Hell
- Toadies' Little Sin
- Letters to Cleo's Demon Rock
- The Village People's YMCA

Devil Robot

Anyway, anyone else want to get in on the pool?  Feel free to take any of the above, or suggest your own.  I'll share the list with my wife and let you know if anyone ever "wins".
