Hey Ya!

I realize that there is a lot of deep rooted psychological manipulation involved in the writing of a pop song. Furthermore, putting those simple (sometimes inane) lyrics over a catchy hook is the work of purely evil producers and writers. I have a problem escaping from the hook of a certain Outkast song. I hear it in my head when other songs are on the radio, I hear it in my sleep, I hear coworkers singing it, of course I hear it on the garsh darned radio, and Jason has it on his Tibook. I simply can’t escape, and believe me I have tried.

I have considered forcefully jabbing my thumbs into my ears with the aim of penetrating my tympanic membranes (eardrums - see I’m using my degree). Of course I don’t think I’ll be able to get my thumbs in that far. Of course I could use sharp implements like pencils or pens, but the effect wouldn’t be the same. I will figure out some way to make the song stop penetrating my existence even if it involves mutilation or attacking several electronic devices.
