SURPRISE REQUEST LINE: Shake the Foundations

— The scene: The DFO clubhouse, present day. The gang surrounds DOKTOR ZYMM, who is tinkering with a large contraption in the center of the room.  She tightens a few more screws, takes a step back, and then wipes her brow. 

DOKTOR ZYMM: Ja. Zat should do it.

RIKKI-TIKK-DEADLY: Okay, so I understand the basic principles behind how it works…

DOKTOR ZYMM: I am quite sure you do not, but pleaze, do continue.

RIKKI-TIKK-DEADLY: …but can you explain again how the S.C.R.A.M. device is going to solve the problems you’re having with your neighbors?

DOKTOR ZYMM: I do not know why you inzist on giving each of my devizes an acronym, but the purpose of the Subsonic Comfort Reversal Acoustic Machine is very simple.  It vill make my neighbors veel uncomfortable, und zen zey vill leave.

YEAH RIGHT: Okay, but if it’s subsonic that means they can’t hear it, right?

DOKTOR ZYMM: Ja.

BRETT FAVRE’S COLONOSCOPY: But you could project regular old sonic sounds, right?  Things that people could hear?

DOKTOR ZYMM: I zuppose, yes…

While DOKTOR ZYMM: has been facing the others SON OF SPAM has been sneaking behind her towards the controls of the machine.  He reaches out for one of the buttons.  A flash of light, an electrical “popping” noise, and the smell of singed hair follows.

DOKTOR ZYMM: To answer your unasked question, yes.  We can use it to play music.  But you have to say pleaze.

Welcome to a special surprise edition of Request Line!  Today we’re looking for bass-heavy songs that Dr. Zymm can play in order to annoy her neighbors.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_M155_B3AstM0d3″ and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  I’ll get us started with one from The Temptations!

This, until I write my requiem and the Recordare uses either bass drum or TWO Mahler boxes to properly imitate a gavel. The gavel of God!

You have my permanent respect after saying you listened to Dixie Dregs.

No bass post would be complete without this sublime (not the band) bit of comedy.

I LOVE that Dok still has her German accent!

SonOfSpam

Cool-ass riff, could wake you up, but then you’d just be doing bong rips.

Any White Lion production works. This one is neat and tidy.

He should come back now that his er conflict appears to be gone. Moose too!

Do yourself a favor and never ever listen to Duran Duran’s cover.

ArmedandHammered

Now that is just plain evil.

Gumbygirl

That should do it. And it will probably scare off vermin and insects for at least a mile radius.

The late great Cliff Burton could do bass things. (As opposed to Troy McClure, who did bass things)

This bassline puts TOP and the Weather Report to shame. Eat your goddamn heart out, Jaco. JOE DART 4 PREZ

Game Time Decision

is that you on the bass?

The Maestro

God, I wish. My right hand cramps up after 30 seconds of walking 16ths like this.

The Maestro

They recorded the drums in a stairwell at 2x and then cut the playback in half to make it more boomy. Absolutely brilliant shit. One of my fave Zep songs of all time.

This guy goes into some more echo detail on the drums

Don’t it make you feel bad when you try to find your way home, you don’t know which way to go?

The Maestro

This is the shit that you need to make your kidneys rumble. When two people can sound this damn big, that’s when you know it’s quality.

While DOKTOR ZYMM: has been facing the others SON OF SPAM has been sneaking behind her towards the controls of the machine. He reaches out for one of the buttons. A flash of light, an electrical “popping” noise, and the smell of singed hair follows.

Am I okay?

Gumbygirl

No.
