I'm one of the weird ones I think, because I always listen to it all the way through. Most people are sick of it of course.
But you guys have any candidates for most played or heard song ever and that which we will always hear for the rest of our lives? Obviously anthems and stuff like that sorta count.
In The Divine Invasion, a late Dick novel that carries on many of VALIS' metaphysical themes, electromagnetic noise play a liberating role. From his private dome on the off-world colony CY30-CY30B, Herb Asher transmits information and music to the other colonist domes. His high-tech entertainment system continually plays videos and tapes of his favorite pop singer Linda Fox, whose holographic posters cover the wall. But he keeps picking up a soupy muzak version of Fiddler on the Roof. Asher later discovers that he is actually in cryonic suspension, where his inert body picks up signals from a nearby radio station broadcasting the Broadway musical. Like the spirits in Swedenborg's afterworld, whose first order of business is to convince incoming souls that they are actually dead, the radio interference acts as an Intercessor, calling Asher to wake up to his actual condition.
