Skipping Music Syndrome
Yeah I’m chinese, and what?
Yeah you know who this is, Jin
And let me just tell you this
The days of the pork fried rice and the chicken wings
comin to ur house by me is overYa’ll gonna learn Chinese
Ya’ll gonna learn…(holds fast forwards button for about 7 seconds)
… cowboys roam through like Clint Eastwood
I wish you would come to Chinatown
Get lost in town, end up in the lost in found
Eyewitnesses, you must be crazy

Post-skipping Scenario
Mad Dude: Oi! What you doing?
Darryl: Nothing.
Mad Dude: Skip tracks for fucks ah?
Darryl: Er…

It’s an awkward habit indeed - skipping tracks before giving the band the liberty to convey their messages.
But I do it. Often enough to frustrate the living hell out of the people around me.
Why?
- It allows me to listen to up to 107* songs in an hour. After all variety’s a spice of life.
* My personal best record - It keeps my finger busy. That explains why my remote batteries die so soon.
- It gets boring after a song rambles on for 43 seconds as I already know how’s the song going to be for the next 3 minutes. Sometimes 4. Or 5. 6? That’s way too long!
- Lyrics are meant for karaoke junkies, the depressed and bastards who are just plain bored. Screw lyrics. I want the tune to fire me up to press on the skip button.
What on earth is Nice Stupid Playground singing in their catchy single, Bedroom Window? Also, good luck understanding Jason Lo’s Evening News.
Great songs are written to be skipped or fast-forwarded.
