iTunes Blues
Lately I've spent my precious few free moments at work loading songs into iTunes. I have the program on my home computer, but it's the very first version and doesn't have the much-lauded "Party Shuffle" feature. So I was excited to try it out at work.
Results have been mixed so far. It will play a song and then the same one will pop back up in the rotation about 15 minutes later. There are tunes I've heard eight times in the past two days, while I've yet to hear others even once. Of course, the problem could be that I only have about 150 songs loaded so far.
Since I mostly have a room to myself, I never bother listening with headphones. This has caused a few awkward moments, though. I work with a horny bastard who has been known to use my computer after hours to search for porn sites. This is a man who does not need to get more hot and bothered than he already is. But inevitably he will be standing over me chatting and all of sudden "Let's Get It On," "Sexual Healing" or "I Want You" will come gently warbling out of the speakers. I suppose it's what I get for flaunting my Marvin Gaye love at the office. I need to find some music that is a sure turn-off. Any suggestions?

Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know." Most guys I know hate that song.

I love your guys' suggestions. They're better than my ideas. I was thinking Clay Aiken because he's so asexual that nobody could possibly get turned on by him. Or a shrieking harpy like Courtney Love.
