O....Kay....
Feb. 10th, 2004 07:55 amSo you have the Beatles' song Paperback Writer. And you have the Monkees' song I'm A Believer. And you put the lyrics of the former with the music of the latter using digital technology. And you get what I heard on the radio on the way to work today.
The effect was...weird.
When you listen to a song over and over again and memorize it and sing along to it, your brain starts to expect the next note, the next word before it comes and if something breaks the rhythm that you're used to, the result is...jarring.
Especially when you tune to the station in the middle of said song so you don't know what they're doing ahead of time. It took me only a few seconds to know that something about this wasn't "right". And it took me only a few seconds more to figure out what was going on.
Not that it was bad, per se. Just...odd. Not what I am used to.
So my reaction was, o....kay....
