They'll be very annoyed that I only know like half the refrain but let it loop anyway.

I also have a rather limited knowledge of popular songs. I completely stopped listening to radio in like 2010, the only person I know who sometimes sends me links to music is mostly listening to niche stuff and most of what I seek out myself is electronic music and other niche stuff. Hope you're into European dubstep, my alien brethren!

I feel like they would just wind up with a 5 Second Loop but okay

Hmm.. I don’t think that would work particularly well with me..

The only things that ever get stuck in my head are Christmas songs. And typically badly mangled with new words and incorrect melodies because I fucking hate Christmas music. Mutating them makes them go away faster in my experience.

I consider this the strength of aphantasia; no pictures mean there’s a constant monologue, and that overrides any other pseudo-auditory thoughts fairly well. Except Christmas music, but that’s probably because it’s on constant repeat for 6 months..

This should’ve been a thing in the Orville.
