Tuesday Coffee Break: When A Date Goes Bad

Posted at 9:16 AM on July 27, 2010 by Steve Seel (18 Comments)
Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

This morning's trivia match concept with Sean McPherson of Trivia Mafia was about "dates," so we got to thinking: What are the qualities of a bad date? When you're bored, or your date is dumb or offensive, when you get stood up, when you get too drunk or even sick ... these are the things that make for a date gone bad.

We're wondering what some songs are that collect some of those ideas into a set for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs played:
Iggy Pop "I'm Bored"
The Kinks "Lola"
Ben Folds "You Don't Know Me" featuring Regina Spektor
The Kinks "Lola"
The Black Keys "Psychotic Girl"
Aretha Franklin "Chain of Fools"
Garbage "Stupid Girl"

Lola!? Great song, but not a bad date. I'd say the guy dating Lola is in love, in fact.
