It's the End of the World as We Know It (idea)

This song, like Magnolia, goes a million miles an hour. That is to say, it's like a sensory overload. The words overwhelm your defenses and burrow into your brain. Sort of like chiggers.

This could probably be an effective brainwashing technique - overload the higher brain functions with a torrent of information, and the message will be embedded in the deep structures of the brain. Sort of like Snow Crash. Scary.
