they start off with a crazy, over-the-top group number featuring great deals on things you never knew you needed or wanted. but then the music changes, and the evil roomba comes in and demands your attention courtesy of his $800 knife set, holding the poor woot-off captive for hours. when it seems that all hope is lost, the shirt.woot reckoning intermission arrives to provide another hour or so of respite, and the audience is lulled into a forgetful state in which they stop dreaming that their b.a.g. o.f. c.r.a.p. will soon arrive.

at that precise moment, the trumpets sound, and the elusive prize appears on the scene. the cast, crew, and audience make a mad dash to stuff one into their carts, but only the true stars succeed.

after a short time, the lights dim once more, and the wooters are left to contemplate a few sansas and art sets while imagining what could have been. and then, as the saying goes, it's all over when the caped monkey flies.

the end.

Yep, definitely Broadway, and most definitely with Ethel Merman and perhaps a bit of Nathan Lane & Mitzi Gaynor thrown in for good measure. And it's always a packed house!

I can believe no one has posted this yet so here goes... CHRISTMAS MUSIC, duh!!!!

The remix version of country music!

Cybergoth Industrial Trance

Musicals, sure, but instead of Nathan Lane we get Jason Alexander. And at least two or three overwrought, interminably bad songs (woot-off killers). And at the end we think, "I actually paid to sit through this thing?"

barry manilow singing a medley of Celine Dion hits

Country squaredance fiddle music, followed by mariachi, then zydeco accordion.

For items with quantity ten or less, "Flight of the Bumblebee".

It would definitly be the theme song from The Benny Hill Show!

Speed metal. Not that I like it, I just imagine a thousand nerds clicking furiously at once and it's instantly where I go.

This is my vote.

tish. It is 'Gospel', obviously.

Gothic Lolita ala Ali Project. Just when you think you've got the theme of the woot-off down, a completely different theme appears. It leaves yout curious to see what other products will appear. In the same vein, Ali Project surprises you with a classical introduction followed by a gut-wrenching, dilapidated symphonic-pop orgy.

Yep. Nailed it.

Top40. So bad I can't stand listening to it, and then after I hear it I can't stop hearing it.

Big band swing

Loud, fast and aggressive.

Awkward elevator music - where everyone is standing around waiting for their floor.

Not my first thought... but I think you are definitely correct!

A woot-off is like Classic Rock, you wade through some marginal songs to occasionaly hear a song that is really good.

Contemporary post-modern gangsta yodeling.

I vote SKA! Like Reel Big Fish or The Pietasters. Then switch to deathmetal for the Bundle of Crops

I want to hear that!!

Carnival style - calliope all the way!

Surf metal

Could "disorganized I-Pod" be a genre? That's what I'd say.

I want to change my vote! I hate Glee, but if woot made I would watch it. A short musical every week about slingshot monkeys and bags of crap, gloriousness!!

It would be like one of those small-town brass bands with the bright uniforms!

It would be the Stars-on-45.

Disco - same old $hit, different rhythm, doomed to be short-lived.

Grim Blackmetals from the frozen mountain forests of Norway

I was thinking, as I clicked on the comments link, "I hope someone said polka already, cause if I have to say it after 70 comments it's just gonna get lost in the shuffle".

Lo-and-behold, first comment. Thank god for that.

C'mon... this is WOOT.COM. It would be nerd-core of course. =)

Has to be Dixieland. Every item providing its own very individual style, with unexpected riffs and trills - sometimes veering off into areas where you think, "They'll never get it back on track to finish!", but finally wrapping it all up with a dramatic flourish.

Country-Rap a.k.a. crap! :-)

This one actually made me cringe and gag. Ewwww. Shudder. Unsee.

new wave polka!

Devo

Mexican Death Metal, of course
