Repetune - The Songs of our Heads

Radiohead - Karma Police

Before I heard this song, I knew Radiohead for that song Creep and for making a video where people lie down for no good reason. Then I heard this song, and I had to know who was singing it. Lo and behold, it was Radiohead. And a minor love affair with Radiohead continued, until I realized the band was worshipped to the point where they could fart into a microphone and the fans would love it.
I was never into them that much, and did not want to be so into them that my judgement would be clouded. That being said, I think they make fantastic music, but Karma Police is where it all began.
Much like remembering firsts with a girlfriend, I distinctly remember the first time I heard Karma Police. I was in a dorm room and someone had his mp3 collection on shuffle. The opening chords hit, and the voice… oh, the voice. I don’t remember that much after it, but if I ran out and bought the album immediately after, it would not surprise me.

What is a repetune?

It has happened to us all. For any reason, and sometimes for no reason at all, some obscure song we have heard but try to avoid manages to sneak itself into our head. It does nothing but repeat in our head over and over until one day, we realize it is gone. Then it only comes back again. These are those songs. These are repetunes.
