Repetune - The Songs of our Heads

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

This repetune is truly one of the greatest inspirational songs of all time.  Though perhaps, I speak a bit strongly. It is truly one of the greatest montage songs of all time. When I listen to the song, I cannot help but picture Rocky training to beat up Mr. T. From its opening chords, which is really all one needs to hear, the song whips you through any possible hardship you can possibly have. After all, the song was created specifically for Rocky III, and thus was created specifically for that underdog triumph, where David slays Goliath.

Because of this, whenever the song is stuck in my head, any activity I am doing at the time will suddenly become dangerous to anyone that comes within proximity. Imagine it for a moment, I am at the office making some copies, and Eye of the Tiger begins to play in my head. Suddenly, making copies becomes exercise, my heart starts racing, and I yell for Adrian after every clean copy. By the time I’m done, I look around and find the bodies of co-workers, covered in paper cuts, begging for their lives. After sparing them, I kick down my office door and make hot, sweet love to every woman I run into… unless they’re ugly, but then again, with this song playing, anything is possible.

And might I add, having this song playing in my head as I’m rolling a condom on about to invade a woman…

Eye of the tiger, baby.
Eye. Of. The. Tiger.

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.
