I've been racking my brain, trying to remember the song titles of all the big hits by that famous eBay Group "The Deadbeats".
I can recall 4 of them, maybe you remember the others?
The ones I still find myself humming from all too frequently, are:
Their anthem, the always powerful & totally annoying: "DEAD & BURIED (BUT STILL BIDDING)"
Their 20 minute electronic "white noise" guitar dirge, filled entire side 1 of their 1st LP: "NEGATIVE FEEDBACK"
Their catchy up-tempo dance number that somehow raises your temperature far above where it should actually be: "DO THE SHILL"
And their weird punk-country-religious melody: "SORRY (I'M SO VERY VERY SORRY)
So if you can recall any of the other greatest hits of The Deadbeats, add em here!

"I HAD A MISACARRIAGE." How can anyone resist that song? I hope it was true. I felt bad after that blazing negative feedback I gave. Especially since she was buying kids' toys! Awful, sad song.

Dead beats are all like country hits with 10,000 word titles that take over 30 days for the DJ to annouce.

how about this song "I LOVE IT ALL AND THINK I WILL BIDD ON ALL YOUR 45 AUCTIONS AND THEN GIVE YOU NEGATIVE FEED BACK 2 HOURS AFTER CLOSE

Have you ever heard "My Computer Crashed Blues" or "Must be a Mistake, I Didn't Bid"
And then the oldtime favorite "The Check is in The Mail.

"Slap your ass on the grill...
Fill the shakes till they spill...
Then, just for fun...
Blow your nose on the bun!
You deserve a break today...
So stand up & run away...
From the DEADBEATS!"

50 Ways to stiff your seller
(my apologies to Paul Simon)
"The problem is inside my PC", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
There must be fifty ways to stiff your seller.
She said "it's really not my habit to deadbeat"
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
So I repeat myself, at the risk of being NARU'd
There must be fifty ways to stiff your seller, fifty ways to stiff your seller.
Just block the email, Dale, make a new plan, Stan
Write a good story, Rory, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just get a new ID, Lee, and get yourself free
She said "it grieves me so to see you in such pain"
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said, I appreciate that, but would you please explain about the fifty ways
She said, "why don't we both just bid some more tonight"
And I believe, in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to stiff your seller, fifty ways to stiff your seller
Just block the email, Dale, make a new plan, Stan
Write a good story, Rory, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just get a new ID, Lee, and get yourself free

Mayfair: what a riot! Made my day. Thanx.
And now for some Presley hits:
Don't Be Cruel (to your seller)
It's Now or Never (or I'll give you a neg)
Return to Sender (bad merchandise)
Suspicious Minds (where's my money honey)

LOL! This reminds me of country/western songs!
My truck got stolen,
My ma passed away,
My dog ate it,
My wife left me,
I lost my paycheck,
My house burned down,
My computer froze up,
I lost your email and address,
I lost my job,
We were in a car wreck

Or how about that other Michael Jackson hit "Billie Jean", in which he asserts "...she's just a girl who says that I am the one, but the bid is not my own...."?

Well it's plain to see
You never meant to pay me
Although you placed a bid!
(Yeah eh!)
But don't surrender that check just yet
You'll find a good excuse I'll be..eh..et!
CHORUS:
When you want it the most
Just bid though you're toast(ed)
It will all be just fine you'll see!
(Yeah eh!)
If you play it right, won't get an NPB,
Just bs and threaten me!
When life seems empty
Don't just watch TV,
Go turn that computer on
(Yeah eh!)
Soon you'll find things and bid away
Didn't know what you were doing you'll say!
CHORUS:
When you want it the most
Just bid though you're toast(ed)
It will all be just fine you'll see!
(Yeah eh!)
If you play it right, won't get an NPB,
Just bs and threaten me!
And THAT's the way it is!
My apologies to Celine! (and to anyone who knows the song .. just read my sig line and you'll understand!)
Funny funny thread! LOL

I have a memory like a steel trap .. unfortunately it's rusted shut!
