    I once worked a 12 hour shift at a MarketPro computer show booth where, I shit you not, the booth next to us was selling computer speakers and the guy running it let his child play Around The World on repeat all day.

    No other songs

    No break

    No reprieve

    Just almost 12 straight hours of Around The World.

    I loved that song, but to this day I can’t tolerate hearing it without triggering something akin to PTSD

    Me in 2024 when a robotic voice says “Around the world” any even number of times

    As someone into lyrics and complex songs, that song bored me to tears. The repetitiveness is a right turn off for me. Even a monkey can be learned to copy and paste, but the real musical talent is in transitioning into new melodies.

    It is the same as with the “Push me, and then just touch me” song.

    I can’t listen to either of them without getting irritated to how little effort was put in them.
