Ah, so that is what Morrissey meant about burning down the disco. It makes complete and perfect sense.

Heard today on the car radio at 2.54 pm. I'm gonna start noting every time I hear it. I request others do the same and I can draw up some kind of graph at a later date.

I'll do that, but I'm worried that these graphs are going to end up in some kind of evidence bunker.

I heard it a lot in the mid-80s, not coincidentally around the same time that I concluded there is no force for hope and good in the universe.

The time between entering a Nando's and then doing a horribly relieving shit is always pretty minimal.

If I remember it worked it's way out of my system very quickly and was just as easily forgettable.

Just be glad that Heston wasn't in the stall next to you misinterpreting its significance.

I'm sure I could hear someone humming the song in the next cubicle and mumbling something about "is that an A minor or A major 7th in the first line". As I was flushing I could hear a victorious voice say "well it's a naturally occurring diatonic nondominant seventh chord in the harmonic minor scale either way". I left the toilets quickly and informed the manager he may have a madman in the building.

And Heston quits his job at the sewage treatment plant after growing anxious from all the sinister plots he was sensing.

There was something really comforting in taking a shit and listening to WBTCORAR. Starship music to shit to.
