Weekend Discussion Thread: Difficult Listening

The opposite of easy listening, ya see.

Suggest a three-song set of tunes from MSTed movies that would be the most punishing, a set that would ruin the evening of anyone who heard it.

I’m gonna go with:

1. The baby piano music from “Robot Monster”
2. The dah-duh-duh-duh-DAH-duh theme from “Beginning of the End” and
3. The Ukranian National Anthem from “Racket Girls.”

What’s your set?

Thanks to Christopher Carey, who had a slightly different suggestion, but whose idea I springboarded off of.
Please keep those suggestions coming!
