[Dr. Sivana]

Out of those four years, I found 1953 to be the problem. I don’t know what I would have done if I were constantly exposed to “I Believe” by Frankie Laine. My only worse experience was working an office summer job in Chicago in 1984, tuned into some urban station that had a three song play list, guaranteeing that I would be exposed to “State of Shock” by Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger every half hour.
