about

A catchy ear worm about ear worms. But it's not all just bouncy fluff and wah wah funk - there is a serious statement here about artistic integrity.
This song uses elements from 2 songs by Hugo Wolf about rodents.

lyrics

Woke up with a song in my head.
It wasn’t mine, wasn’t a dream I had
Woke up with a song in my head:
Is it my fault that that song is bad?

Crafted for repeatability,
Pumped up media reality.

Woke up with a song in my head.
It wasn’t mine, wasn’t a dream I had
Woke up with a song in my head:
“OMG! This shit is rad!”

Mindless repeatability,
Welcome media reality,
Magical pop sensibility,
And rhymes and rhymes and rhymes…

a million dollar payload
image made and hollow
you get it, or you’re slow
just doing what you’re told

it’s so close, so dear
desire burning in your ear
catch it, hold it near
muzzle your fear

it’s better if you don’t think
you listen but you won’t blink
making it the missing link
wash your cares down the sink

the choices seem clear:
ironic or sincere,
bionic or in tears
iconic or… Right. Here.

Well, I won’t be manipulated by your
fashion statement
I won’t be lulled to sleep with
commercial containment
I won’t forget the Earth and its
blue-like raiment
I won’t forget justice for
sales and placement

Woke up with a song in my head.
Flash in the pan, lightning red.
Woke up with a song in my head –
Is my fault? Is my fault?

Crafted for repeatability,
Pumped up media reality.
Magical pop sensibility,
And rhymes and rhymes and rhymes…

Woke up with a song in my head.
It wasn’t mine, wasn’t a dream I had
Woke up with a song in my head –
I went on with the day instead.
