oh, this is such a dirty trick, copyranter, you sneaky devil!

This is the last thing I need. Clever!

The song Super Bass (by Nicki Minaj) is now playing in Copyranter's head.
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?
He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass
Never heard that ditty (that i know of) either.

oh, sweet, swe-e-e-et revenge... rumer
The Final Countdown isn't that catchy, so it doesn't work (for me). A better iteration is the trick with Futurama's Professor Farnsworth: "Good news, everyone! I've invented a device that makes you hear my voice in your head!" You can't not read that without hearing it in his voice (if you've watched the show).
That synthesizer opening gets in your head, it's hard to get out.
You know what? Final Countdown running in my head is a vast improvement to my day. Know what else? I'm so sick of taking on these freelance gigs with "digital"shops. They are across the board full of inept, fearful, bleeding edge cunts. I vow to you now - I will never take an assignment from a "New media/digital" agency so help me Jesus Motherfucking Christ. Goddammit it all to hell!
nothing that a dose of Motorhead won't cure
