Today is Repeat Day, so we want to know: what song do you have currently have on repeat? Bonus points if you share it with us!
This morning as I drove into work I put my iPod on "Mystery Meat", which basically means I scorn any pre-made playlist I've made and just set it to "Songs". It's the first time I've done so in a very long time and I didn't even skip over any that came up. I was treated to Beastie Boys, Francois Dompierre, a few of my own songs (out of the hundreds I have loaded two of my own came up, probably as a reminder to clear them out), Andy Bell, The Ramones, and Flight of the Conchords. Then Stewart Copeland's (officially Klark Kent's) "Away From Home" came on. I've heard it LOTS of times, probably more times than my kids could stand hearing it. At my house, my Blackberry doesn't ring... my kids say, "Mum! Your phone is making that Stewart Copeland sound!" But I hadn't heard this particular song lately as I have two of his other ones on my favourite playlist instead, and for some reason this morning, it was like I was hearing this song for the first time.
I was laughing hysterically, so much so that I think the car behind me was calling the men in white jackets with giant nets. And I had previously passed her because she'd almost gone right off the road, so you know SHE wasn't in her right mind to begin with, so who was she to judge?
Anyway, I'm huge into the bonus points thing (even though they mean nothing) because I'm a big nerd and need all sorts of external approval, so I've uploaded it to share. I'm not sure it you'll find it as entertaining as I did -- certainly not enough for me to want you to cause any car accidents -- but it's an awesome track and fun to listen to while sipping locally-roasted coffee and trying not to eyeball some death rays at fellow commuters.
