   Okay, I invoke the author right to one impossible feature, namely a floating invisible bulletproof loudspeaker system. It flies, remotely control, totally invisible to any known human detection gear and can broadcast sound at the levels of a rock concert.

   So if you are given this device and it's controllers, what and how would you use it? Think directed youtube at your command.

   I'd fly it to the deep South and tell everybody I was the voice of God and have thousands of rednecks do my bidding.

   Douglas Adams always delivers, even in death.

   Terry Pratchett is a reasonable substitute for Adams, and far more prolific.

   Yay! Terry Pratchett!

   I often have contests (with myself, mainly) to see if I can get a certain song stuck in more than one person's head. I think a floating speaker system would be the perfect tool to improve my numbers. Bwahaha!

   ...hold the line (duh na na naah) love isn't always on time (whoa whoa whoa)...

    @Crouton15:

    Yup - you got one more with your little game...

    But 2 can play at that game:

    *** I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth... ***

    (Note: I hate that song by Willow Smith and my 8 year old daughter knows this and sings it to me when she wants to drive me nuts... it sticks in my head easier than crazy glue!)

    God Damn them all! I was told
    We'd cruise the seas for American gold
    We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
    Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
    The last of Barrett's privateers!

    This is the song that never ends.
    Yes, it goes on and on, my friends.
    Some people started singing it
    not knowing what it was,
    and they'll continue singing it forever
    just because...

    Fred, it only works if people have actually heard of the song...

    @ LRA - ditto

    @ Ursa - if he doesn't sing like a goat, I don't want it in my head.

    More like a pirate.

    Who sings like a goat? And why is that a good thing to have in your head?

    1. Stevie Nicks sings like a goat.
    2. Better the devil you know.

    Stevie Nicks always sounded more like a drill sergeant to me, the way she kicks those notes' butts around.

    Ursa-- I was born in 1974. I think this was before my time. That and my parents liked Jimmy Buffet and Al Stewart.

    I guess my senescence is showing. Time to touch up the painting in the attic again.

    Jimmy Buffett and Al Stewart are a truly bizarre combo.

    @Ursa: Nice! Shameless plug: I manage the official Stan Rogers web site in co-op with his widow.

    @LRA: What? You mean you don't know Barrett's Privateers? Then you've never been in a Canadian pub. After a few glasses of rye, sea shanties a plenty when you're in Fredland!

    I more like "cowboy songs" to "sailor songs," although I don't know a lot of cowboy songs.

    Yippee ki-yi-yo, git along little dogies
    It's your misfortune and none of my own.

    That's about it.

    Folkie songs like "sweet betsy from pike," and I used to know all the verses to "you are my sunshine." Re: Sailor songs - I know "Popeye the sailor man" and quite a bit of the aforementioned J. Buffett.

    @Joeagnost: Not a lot about goats. I know they're goats.

    Ursa, Margaritaville and The Year of the Cat are the soundtrack of my early childhood.

    Fred, I spent my 30th birthday in Montreal. It is the only place in Canada I've ever been and I was only there for a long weekend. Tell you what... next time I'm in Canada, would you be willing to take me to a Canadian pub? If so, I'll take you to a Texan bar and teach you to sing David Allen Coe.

    So who wins the earworm contest today? I've got Barrett's Privateers going in my head in six-part harmony to drown out the lone bleating of Stevie Nicks.
