Ill-Advised Choices in Ad-Libbed lyrical additions when One is 'singing' INXS "Mediate" at an area Karaoke Bar in light of the questionable death of former lead singer Michael Hutchence (brought to mind recently with the arrival of the television program Rockstar: INXS)

Masturbate
Strangulate
Asphyxiate
Ass-Naked-ate

And especially don't change the line "Don't suffocate on your own hate" to "Don't asphyxiate while you masturbate" as I learned the hard way when a posse of previously unidentified Michael Hutchence fans (whom, as it turned out, refer to themselves as HUTS; for example, if your name was--say--Jabba AND you loved this particular performer, you'd call yourself "Jabba the HUT") threatened bodily harm upon me with a Keytar (I can only presume that it travels with them in case of impromptu street corner 'gigs'...either that or its hollowed out so as to allow them the ability to stash their accumulated 'booty' in it) and insisted that auto-erotic asphyxiation was NOT what befell the former long-maned Aussie uber-star. This fell on deaf fannish ears and, sadly, I learned that the Keytar IS an effective bludgeoning weapon...which may explain their prevelance in the 80s music scene.
