I heard a song the other night. At first it was annoying. The second time, strangely funny. Then I realized I'd heard that song before in conjunction with a short film. Third play through, I listened to the words as I found the YouTube video by Parry Gripp. Backwards on a pig from YouTube "The world has gone insane and you don't know what is right.
