Popularity.

The most overexposed song on the airwaves at the moment.

Malaysian airwaves, that is.

Every time you flick on your radio and tune into a station that plays current hit songs, you're bound to, heck destined, to hear that song come on.

It's like a ghost that follows you, that haunts you, the minute your radio is on.

It doesn't matter how often you alternate between channels, you can't run from it, you can't hide from it, and you definitely cant avoid it.

If it's on this channel, you're destined to hear it on any other pop/rock channel.

It's only a matter of time.

Tune into a particular station for an hour and I can almost guarantee that you'll hear that song play.

And when that happens, I tend to start hissing and clawing at my car's radio receiver with sheer horror before desperately switching to another radio station which would prevent that monstrosity of a song from making my ears and (somehow) my eyes bleed.

No kidding.

Don't get me wrong, there's completely nothing wrong with the song, it's most definitely catchy, it gets you singing, and after some time it starts playing in the back of your head with or without your mind's consent.

That's all fine, until you've listened to it being played for the 1565th time.

Which is when switching to another radio station just won't do the job, no.

But driving your car off into a ravine would.
