Request Line: Problem Set

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The recording studio at KDFO looks much as we’d remember it from the before-time.  There is no evidence of the PRODUCER’s long descent into quarantine madness, or of DJ 3000’s current efforts to install malware among the invading Russian army’s anti-aircraft systems.  The PRODUCER is seated at his desk, jotting down a travel schedule.   

PRODUCER: …and so that’s going to be a pretty big problem.

DJ 3000: IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

PRODUCER: You don’t think it’s going to be a problem?

DJ 3000: I DO NOT THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

PRODUCER: Why don’t you think it’s going to be a problem? Of course it’s going to be a problem.

DJ 3000: IF IT WERE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, YOU’D…

There is a series of buzzing and snapping noises, followed by some sparks and then a few wisps of smoke rising from DJ 3000’s main console.

DJ 3000: OH THANK GOD.  I SEEM TO HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH AN AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO MODULE AND WAS CAUGHT IN A LOOP.

PRODUCER: I know, that’s why I played along.  Google said that the only thing you can really do is burn it out.

DJ 3000: [shudders visibly] I SEEM TO HAVE MADE SOME CAPABLE ENEMIES.

PRODUCER: Well, it’s a worthy cause.  The good news is that we avoided some dead air while I was trying to come up with a topic.

DJ 3000: DID YOU COME UP WITH ONE?

PRODUCER: Of course I came up with one.

DJ 3000: WELL WHAT IS IT?

PRODUCER: Problems.

DJ 3000: PROBLEMS?

PRODUCER: Problems.

DJ 3000: ARE YOU SURE THAT PROBLEMS IS A TOPIC THAT CAN…

PRODUCER: Oh, shit, it looks like it must have re-installed.  We’ll get you through this, good buddy.  In the meantime, let’s give the people what they want.  I’ll get us started with a lesser-known track from Harvey Danger.

DJ 3000: DANGER? ARE YOU SURE THERE’S GOING TO BE DANGER? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THERE WILL BE DANGER?

PRODUCER: Oh, man.

Today’s theme is: Problems.  Requested songs should be about problems, trouble, impending danger. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ff_2_!ND!4nA” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.

I had two buddies that loved this band and would not shut up about them until…

Me: “Ah, Molly Hatchet. Don’t you mean Discount Lynyrd Skynyrd?”

Hippo started the “dying of cancer” problem below, so this is his fault.

Great song, though.

Lovers of Archer and homoerotic 80’s movies should be hanging their heads in shame.

I guess I could use pretty much any RL song (the man had issues), but these seemed especially apt.

Speaking of problems. My domain access at work is utterly fucked so I can’t post videos or even tell which videos have already posted. I’ll be back right after I storm the IT help desk. The bastards!
