Simple one-step plan to ruin Lumines

Bad Music.
12 licensed tracks for the forthcoming PSP sequel to the only good PSP game Lumines have been announced. Here we go:
Beck - "Black Tambourine"
Black Eyed Peas - "Pump It"
Chemical Brothers - "Star Guitar"
Fatboy Slim - "Gangster Trippin'"
The Go! Team - "Bottle Rocket"
Gwen Stefani - "Hollaback Girl"
Hoobastank - "Born to Lead"
Junior Senior - "Take My Time"
Missy Elliott - "Lose Control"
New Order - TBD
Junkie XL - "Breezer"
Stigmato Inc - "Reality Check"
Now, sure, not every game involving music can have a stellar track list, in fact even my two favourite music-involved games have tracks I wouldn't mind never hearing again, but shit, Hollaback Girl? Are they serious? They can't be serious.
I really should have seen this coming, what with the little snippets of gameplay we saw of Lumines 2 at E3, but I just didn't expect it to be this bad.
It should be noted that this news comes only in reference to the title "Lumines 2". Lumines 2 is not the only Lumines title on the horizon, as we still have the release "Lumines Plus" coming to the PS2 in October. Everything I've seen about Lumines Plus is that it's more or less a direct port from the PSP but with more skins, but since it's being developed by the same devs responsible for localizing Lumines 2, anything can happen.
