The Mike Hamby Experiment

Well, I got a good bit of feedback regarding musical selections for Athens-Clarke County District 10 Commissioner Mike Hamby's intro for Friday's bachelor's auction benefitting the American Cancer Society.

Hillary offered R. Kelly's Sex In The Kitchen, a song I am not familiar with at all and, apparently, is banned on YouTube due to copyright reasons in the U.S. Another song that I had never heard was reader P.A.'s suggestion Miss Officer by Lil' Wayne.

Reader M.M. offered James Brown's Sex Machine, while Hamby's fellow commissioner, Alice Kinman, had a variety of suggestions ranging from The Boy From Ipanema to ABC by The Jackson Five.

The most entertaining suggestion, however, comes from reader R.S. who offered 'anything by The Lonely Island' ... which is comedian Andy Sandberg's project, which is very funny, albeit incredibly vulgar. A few examples would include I'm On A Boat, Like A Boss and the uniquely named J*** In My Pants. It goes without saying that all three of the final selections are, um, not safe for work.
