In an effort to better understand the players on the Pro Circuit, we asked some random “pros” to show us what was playing on their iPods. In the interest of unfairness and comedic embarrassment, we demanded that they put the iPods on shuffle and give us the first three hits.
Niles Rowland: “That’s embarrassing.”
Weezer — Holiday
Al Green — Let’s Stay Together
30 Seconds to Mars — Welcome to the Universe
Patrick Yapjoco: “Don’t put the Nick Cannon one.”
Guns ‘N Roses — Welcome to the Jungle
Kanye West — Jesus Walks
Nick Cannon featuring R. Kelly — Gigolo
Phimus Pan: “Yeah, this isn’t my iPod, I swear.”
Coldplay — Green Eyes
Hoobastank — Up and Gone
Blink 182 — Always
TBS: “This doesn’t seem fair.”
Tenacious D — Karate Schnitzel
Radiohead — Bullet Proof. . . (I Wish I Was)
Dido — Here with Me
Kim Caton: “Play. Play. Play. Play!” (Kim was very confused by this “shuffle” concept.)
Nine Inch Nails — Something I Can Never Have
Stabbing Westward — So Far Away
U2 — Where the Streets Have No Name
Anand Khare: “I’ve never done this before.”
Cake — Open Book
Stereophonics — Goldfish Bowl
Radiohead — Black Star
Erik Cabanero: “Oh gawd . . .”
Nickelback — Animals
Maroon 5 — Must Get Out
Black Eyed Peas — My Humps
“This is, by far, the worst iPod of the bunch.” — Patrick Sullivan
