An article by an NYU musicologist in the Journal of the Society for American Music details how music was regularly used in interrogations on bases in Iraq and Afghanistan as a method of inducing disorientation to get suspects to talk without inflicting physical force. Here are some of the songs used by military and law enforcement entities to get their suspects to sing.
1. Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA"
2. Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty"
6. Barney the Dinosaur's "I Love You"
the power of music, eh?
how many times could hear the Barney song
before you started babbling?
... if you want to know the others tortuous titles,
click on the title of this post
and be amazed!
