— 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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD9j0VfX7QU
I guess I should post what I threw into the original comment thread:

One last one. Limp Bizkit Break Stuff
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUYjpKg9KY
Just about any Rage Against the Machine would do, but I’d lead with Bulls On Parade
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3L4YrGaR8E4
Late to the party as usual.
Beastie Boys: Sabotage
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE
Or you could just stay with one band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=953PkxFNiko
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpRm-p7qlY
And one of my favorite bass songs ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkbAMUo6VNA
This one will rattle out your goddamn fillings.

Any ZZ Top will do, but this one is a banger
https://youtu.be/ytZrzwfJn1g
Excellent. RIP Dusty Hill, and we would also would’ve accepted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db94lyKYOcg&ab_channel=DanielSoares
Close between this one and “We Care A Lot” but dammit I love this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32bdevGClD4&ab_channel=UPROXXIndieMixtape
No bass post would be complete without this sublime (not the band) bit of comedy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wadrtD7BIZM&ab_channel=SouthParkHD%F0%9F%85%A5
Full volume T Rex
https://youtu.be/JB6WZu8IAZg
Mmmm, that’s tasty bass!
https://youtu.be/iKllBHvpZcE
Fuck, I can’t see for shit!
This is not a charade
https://youtu.be/qDLd3n5VDlw
I LOVE that Dok still has her German accent!
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.

I can only imagine how sickened Beastmode would be if he saw my butchery of a write-up for this post.
I think you did a fine job!
I appreciate that, but it really is very bad. The first time I did it was distinctly better:

He should come back now that his er conflict appears to be gone. Moose too!
JIM IRSAY: Hey how about some White Lines?
RIKKI: Ooh, good song!
JIM IRSAY: Song?

Do yourself a favor and never ever listen to Duran Duran’s cover.
I believe this came up in the original discussion.

Now that is just plain evil.
That should do it. And it will probably scare off vermin and insects for at least a mile radius.

Maybe this will give them the hint:

Seems to annoy a lot of people I dislike:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th4Czv1j3F8
Every band should feature bass and trumpet imho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMjjsjNBS_4&ab_channel=RATMVEVO
I wish the RHCP version of this had a more prominent bass line so I could get a two-fer but it gets drowned out. The original has a lot more going on.

DOUBLE SHOT
There are SO MANY great Stevie Wonder bass songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRMgzhUYrfk&ab_channel=AlexNather
The late great Cliff Burton could do bass things. (As opposed to Troy McClure, who did bass things)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdlQyNe_9tE&ab_channel=Metallica
CanCon crap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiay8I5IPB8
This bassline puts TOP and the Weather Report to shame. Eat your goddamn heart out, Jaco. JOE DART 4 PREZ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le0BLAEO93g
is that you on the bass?
God, I wish. My right hand cramps up after 30 seconds of walking 16ths like this.
More bass drum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwiTs60VoTM
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZYDDX1DHDU
Don’t it make you feel bad when you try to find your way home, you don’t know which way to go?
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.

Lemmy is good for a wakeup call.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbvWn1EY6g&ab_channel=Mot%C3%B6rheadOfficial
Lemmy is good for all situations
There is some heavy bass drum in this.

We used to play this in college. One time it started resonating in a little alcove and started knocking stuff over.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4jR1RNypG0
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?
No.
