Nerdism Embeded

I decided to add some new songs to my MP3 player to tune out the scilence of working till 2am. now, when i say new, i use the term very loosely, the music on my laptop is anything but new.

but, it did lead me to discover something new about an old song...

We've all heard the song Weapon Of Choice by Fatboy Slim...
yes, yes you have, but you probably remember it as "that song in the video with Christopher Walken dancing."

here's a little refreasher for you:



when this song originally came out it was on the radio all the time, so often was it on that it became as familar as the hum of the truck's engine it's self. in fact it's been forever since i've acctually listened to the words, but having it on my MP play exposed me to a chrous unbeknowst to me.

about mid song, right before Mr. Walken dances infront of the mirrors there's is a chrous that struck me familiar...

it goes: "walk without rythum, and it won't attract the worm..."

the first time i dismissed it as giberish
the second time my ear was pricked
the third got the gears turning
and before another repitition i remembered where it was from...



My inner nerd resonated like a tuning fork at this

yes, i read Dune, and i knew the ways of the desert...

  • At first, I thought the line was "walk without rhythm, won't attract the women". But on subsequent listenings, I got the right lyrics. :)

    I KNEW I had heard that somewhere before, but could never place it! Thanks, Exile, for clearing up this mystery! :)

    HUGS...
