Which songs out there do you dread hearing because you know they’ll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day? Love them or not, there are those certain tracks that stick to your brain like peanut butter, and the only way to get rid of them is to try scrubbing your brain with some other, more powerful, song or activity.
Right now I’ve got Zombie by The Cranberries doing rounds. God help me, if there’s one thing I know about this song, it’s that I’m going to be forced to listen to two straight hours of progressive metal to cleanse my ear-palette.
This has been playing in my head for 2 days straight. TWO DAYS. I tried to drive it out with other music, but it comes back as soon as I stop playing other music. I am resigned to it. Its like a delightful tinnitus.
DON’T CROSS THE STREET IN THE MIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK!
My brain screams that at me pretty much any time I can’t keep it adequately distracted ever since I heard it. One day I imagine I’ll probably be found shouting this at the top of my lungs while I try to smash a golf club through whichever one of the Johns happened to be handy when I finally snapped.
It’s here, but for the love of god don’t click the link. It’s fucking weaponized audio. I mean, it’s kind of supposed to be (it was on some kind of PSA in the seventies), but still…
Edit: Here’s what it replaced. I wish I could get it back. I really do. Because at least that has a couple of cute Japanese ladies and a chicken that…has sex with your girlfriend? Boyfriend? I mean the haircut makes it a little ambiguous. Or maybe chickens stretch out all your shirts and make terrible house guests? I gave up trying to make sense of Cibo Matto a long time ago.
