- …thing I ever ate was a balut.

- …movie I ever saw was Alien.

- …song I ever heard was “DOA” by Bloodrock.
- …thing a date ever told me was that she was a Mafia princess.

That scariest “single moment” would scare the hell out of anyone.
As for the scariest date, I wonder how it felt and if she’s even serious when she told you.
LOL! I remember hearing DOA by Bloodrock myself as a young fellow. Scared the crap out of me.
There was another song out around the same time I think about 3 guys who think they’re trapped in a cave. Two of them panic and kill the 3rd for food. Just as they finish eating they see light from the rising sun filtering in thru another way out of the cave. That one creeped me out as well.
PS: Of course the actual song might not even faintly resemble the description I gave above. That’s just how I remember it. 🙂
Victor: A couple of folks who were thrown from the pickup with me don’t remember it at all. I wish I didn’t.
I think my date was creatively blowing me off. It worked.
Lee: DOA is really, really creepy. My regular babysitter introduced that one to me. It gave me more than one nightmare.
I don’t know the cave song. Probably I’ll randomly encounter it sometime years from now and think of you. 🙂
So, I got here from the post yesterday…The song about the guys in the cave was “Timothy.” I remember it well. I even have it on my iPod. However, I did NOT know it was written by Rupert Holmes until just now! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_(song)
