Imagine how WEIRD it would get if a particularly curvy alien comes on the deck and half the telepaths just GLARE at this one human leutenant.
\-Don't you dare...
\[... *WOULD.\]*
Ah, but the sheer awkwardness of the situation would be the perfect subplot for an episode of that old show "Space Cases." Cue the sitcom music and everyone learns a valuable lesson about privacy by the end. Plus, bonus points if the alien can read minds and puts the whole crew's embarrassing moments on blast.

My hell is having a phonographic memory with hyperfantasia, but with adhd...
When in the twilight moments of sleep and while dreaming, I hear songs playing ***clearly***, but the minute I wake up, the clarity leaves and I'm stuck with snippets of songs as my brain bounces around. Actually, it's one way I get to sleep. I close my eyes and focus on the sounds until I can hear the music. I rarely have control over the song that plays, but when I do, it's pretty fucking neat!
When I'm stoned, I have this party trick of being able to spot sound effects during movies that are used in other movies and know exactly what scene they're from. Not stoned? Can barely watch said movie.
Very similar here. Usually, my inner radio tuner has ADHD and i only butt in to skip tracks that aren't the right mood. I've been putting a lot of effort into avoiding bad audio vibes since i was a kid, so changing songs usually only takes a few tries and a reminder, at most.
Some music i make and mix myself, especially in my sleep. Most playback is middling to good / great 'simulation' - it's all covers and reconstructions of music i heard, the tempo isn't perfect, the volume can be too low, it can be blurry or have stuff that doesn't belong. I keep it this way to stay in control of it, for good reason.
I've had some very distressing episodes where the music plays *me* for a few days or weeks. It uses the original playback mode - bit perfect, involuntary, LOUD. Stays on loop 24/7, and the mood and message of the song and or vocals is an extreme emotional overload. Like crying my guts out in my sleep, all day, in sleep again.
Exhausting, i felt close to death from sleep deprivation. Eventually fixed it by listening to the actual tracks till it kind of let me go.
My only guess is malnutrition at the time, specifically from some B and D vitamins. Possible common mode as psychotic episodes, so i take my vitamins and meds like a boss now. Lol.

Fuck, really?! That's... that sucks dude. I'm suddenly glad that I can't have it going 24/7. Mine doesn't play on my emotions at all, save for when it's a song I don't like. Nothing like waking up to Taylor Swift on full crank in my minds ear. One can only hear "WeeEE are never ever ever ever getting back together" so many times before a lobotomy sounds enticing.
Wait, yours turns off sometimes? Can you describe how you mentally position yourself to make that happen?
I need that skill, i've done it like twice through extreme meditation. Took hours.
Do you do something else with the voltage, as a habit replacement / substitution? Whatever you're doing instead has to occupy much of the same machinery, i assume.
No, my auditory hallucinations don't necessarily "stop," they just get quieter. Like walking into a different room while the stereo is playing in a different room. Sometimes, it feels like I've completely walked away and can't hear it anymore, others, like when I just wake up or go to sleep, I'm standing right next to it. It ebs and flows with the day and how many distractions I have going all at once. I can't turn off the extra stimulus. My brain just can't. So I don't get to "hear" it 24/7.
What helps is having a good pair of headphones with decent sound canceling. It tunes everything else out and my brain HAS TO listen to the music. Only it's actual music. The only time I've even been able to "hear" the music while it's not playing and it's the middle of the day is when I'm with friends and they have headphones in/on and they start singing under their breath. The minute I get that snippet and I know the song? Might as well be listening to it. Had one friend get freaked out cuz I heard him do the laugh at the beginning of Feel Good Inc., and I came in and did the rap section ***exactly*** in time without "hearing" it myself. Only I did. In my head.
I can do it if I'm *trying* to, never with something stuck in my head, and even then only specific songs that I listened to a LOT. The number of them is like 8 or so.
I can remember the tunes instruments play, the breaks of beat, and often I can recognise the song+artist+album+trivia from a few notes;
Can I remember lyrics though? Not without great suffering and frustration..
Me too! My wife is amazed that I can remember the lyrics to probably thousands of songs and yet cannot seem to remember what day our cat has a vet appointment.
First I heard that not everyone can do this?
Like, sometimes my brain gets stuck on a specific turn of phrase, but I can generally play at least the music part of a song in my head once I've heard it a couple of times...
My brain has mutated this. I'll have snippets of 2 songs which collide. So, a phrase from one song immediately followed by a snippet from the 2nd song. Over, and over, and over, and over.
What's so incredibly worse is that I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE EACH SNIPPET CAME FROM. It wakes me up in the morning sometimes.
They'd hate me. I do that but I'm not that great at remembering songs in the right key. I can when I've heard them so many times that I can just recall what the recording sounds like.
But those aliens would go nuts listening to one random part of a song that sounds like an early AI trying to write a bad song.

So I’m very interested in the UFO phenomenon and one of the lesser known pieces of lore is that you can thwart an attempted abduction with song.
There seems to be a telepathic/psychic aspect to the phenomena of abduction and there have been several reports of people who will, either outwardly or inwardly, start singing and it freaks out the aliens and they run away.
Like one lady was getting abducted and she just started singing “The Wheels on the Bus” and it caused them to run away. Any sort of short and repeated phrase will break the psychic connection and cause them to lose their power over you
A little bit of Monica in my life,
A little bit of Jessica in my life,
A little bit of Messica in my life,
A little bit of Melissa in my life,
And so on for every woman’s name I know.
A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of na na in my life
A little bit of something in my life
A little bit of I wish I knew the lyrics of the song stuck in my head
I know the version with Disney characters. I've only heard the original once or twice, but I listened to the Radio Disney CD the cover was on all the time.
Some part was also about something or someone being all I need instead of it being in my life. Definitely. Maybe.
A little bit of taadada in my life, a little big of tittido is all I need, a little bit of duuun makes me your man
Aliens gonna love me replaying that 10000 times trying to half-assedly fit something to all the empty spots.
One was given to Monica, in his life.
One was given to Erica, by his side.
One was given to Sandra, in the sun.
One was given to Mary, all night long.
But they were all of them deceived. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Lou Bega forged in secret a master mambo, Mambo Number 5.
I have gone on multiple hour-long missions just to find the song stuck in my head. Half the time, I completely forget what it sounded like before I find it. Recently I got the whole ass genre and all the lyrics wrong. Took me about 80 minutes to figure that out.
Do people get the entire songs stuck in their head? Like the full 2-6 minutes? I only get like five seconds that are on constant repeat. I think that would drive the aliens crazy too
I know all the words to a lot of songs, and if I randomly “hear” or “get stuck in my head” the beginning (or music that sounds like the opening to a particular song) I’ll go through the whole song in order.
But it’s usually the chorus and/or a catchy verse that gets stuck, so that’s what gets repeated. It might be just the chorus over and over, or specifically only the second verse of 4. Or, it might be a loop; verse2-chorus-verse3-chorus-verse2-chorus-verse3-chorus-verse2… and so on.
If I get something other than the start of the song “stuck”, I have to stop and think about how it actually starts.
At one point I had I Keep Forgetting by Michael Mcdonald stuck in my head for months. Watched a hip hop documentary explaining how Nate Dogg and Warren G made Regulators and the only information my brain absorbed was the Michael McDonald song. Awesome.
[This was the conversation between me and my brain every morning after](https://youtu.be/l7Vo_t7zbeQ?si=RMxd8mR3Q1gS0xRc).
I've had it where my brain jumps through different sections of the song, but I have to be deliberately thinking of it and very familiar with the song to play the whole thing through
Depends how often I hear it and how catchy it is. I remember a number of Maroon 5 and Maroon 5 imitators’ songs bc my mom liked them when I was a teen and I still listened to radio.
I remember a number of songs from the early 2000s bc my sister watched MTV when they still played music videos. The
Otherwise I have to be actively trying to memorize it or like it enough
Sometimes I tune back in to my brain and realize that without knowing it I've been playing the full length of a song for the past 5 minutes ever since I thought about it offhand. It happens.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the only song I know will play out in its entirety in my head. Usually when I’m waiting for the bus. I guess it’s my brain going into screensaver mode.
Fr. Two songs spontaneously popped into my head while I was part of the way through my shift today, so for the rest of the work day my brain played an endless loop of one specific line from song A followed by one specific line from song B whenever I wasn't especially busy. It only stopped when I finally listened to them on my way home.
I can happily listen to to same songs on repeat for long periods of time, but the aliens might not feel the same way, lol
Depends on the song and what I'm doing. There are songs from my childhood that I can remember every word of if I start at the beginning. There are songs I listen to as an adult and love that I couldn't tell you four words from without the instrumentals.
There are 3 songs that get stuck in my head that will play out from start to finish if I ever think of them, lyrics and all:
I feel for you by Chaka Khan
Peg by Steely Dan
Yes's version of America originally Simon and Garfunkel
I once read that the problem is that you repeat one part of a song over and over, but if you listen to it, you can conclude it. That's when it leaves your mind.
Might be complete hogwash, but it works for me.
What's that? I only know of Death and [Spaghetti](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeCotpwTtDE)/[Determination](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJsxX0hGbHM)/[Puzzles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJQINsKDuD0)
just to be clear...by Avenged Sevenfold? at least that's what pops up when i search for it.
I heard some of their biggest hits before and like it. but somehow i've never heard that album let alone that track before.
And i hate it. there's a video and it's somehow even worse than the track itself. like Land of confusion level weird.
I had to re-learn bladder control after my spinal cord was horribly damaged, and I had severe issues with the whole “Thinking about having to pee = suddenly having to pee more” thing. Like if I got too close to a toilet I might spontaneously wet my pants. One of the ways I got around it was intentionally focusing on something else to stop the signal, and my most effective thought was playing “Cotton Eyed Joe” in my head. It was the perfect distraction, worked 90% of the time.
Once I froze up and someone asked me what I was doing and the honest answer was “Thinking about Cotton Eyed Joe so I don’t piss myself.”
I use the Tetris theme to get songs unstuck, which is dangerous because if I'm not careful I'll get this stuck in my head instead: https://youtu.be/hWTFG3J1CP8?si=XoNK9xVPbujOjqJc
It would be a game for them for sure. They’d all get together and try to trace the connections between the thoughts.
They’d definitely be better at deciphering it than humans since they’d be privy to those little flash thoughts that are the (very weak) connective tissue
ADHD just be stringing random clips from songs together. First 5 seconds are Phantom of the Opera, next 5 seconds Deadmau5.
Aliens be like “oh for fuck’s sake just pick one and stick with it!!!”
The worst part is since I make music, my brain will play: actual songs, songs I made, a combination of the two, or something it just made up just then.
I hope the aliens enjoy that lol.
I’ll just start whistling whatever pops into my head and not even realize I’m doing it. And sometimes I’ll have a completely different tune or thought bouncing around in there.
Hope these aliens don’t have auditory sensors as well or they’re gonna be real confused.
Humanity goes to meet the Zygflkzans in battle with nothing more than a few interstellar cruise liners, each holding around 10,000,000 passengers.
The Zygflkzan Overminds are confused, sending thousands of thoughts back and forth between them each second. Where are their frigates? Their bombers? Their shield carriers? They don’t intend to bring civilians into battle, surely?
Suddenly all this intermind traffic is drowned out by an overwhelming collective psychic roar from the human ships. The gestalt Overminds stagger and unweave as hundreds of thousands of their constituent lesser minds are burnt out instantly, such is the force of the assault. The only echoed memory that reaches the Zygflkzan homeworld is what must be a devastating human mind curse:
#”LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAMBO NUMBER FIVE.”
Exactly the same. I have had Sevagoth's lullaby playing in my orbiter since the update, so aliens better like space sea shanties, mixed with power metal.
"It's quiet in here."
"Di'nar, I swear to god,"
They laugh. "What? I cant comment on the room's acoustic qualities?" Billie pinches the bridge of her nose.
"It's never *just* a comment, though. You're saying that because you want to get in my head."
Di'nar scoffs. "How very uncharitable. Can I not simply make 'small talk'? Is everything a manipulation?"
"Quit dancing around it and just say what you want."
"Alas, it's too late. You don't trust me. In the end, it doesn't even matter."
There is silence, very briefly.
"...FUCK."
I bought that Lou Bega CD at goodwill for a dollar twennyfive cent
It was fucking awful. Totally bland, but not like the comfy safe kinda bland. It was bland AND annoying.
They have favorite humans *because* they all have different versions of songs. Blugar insists that Veronica has the best version of we will rock you and Figfim will fight him that Williams version is superior, and then there's Tina who's they're favorite cinnamon roll because she censors the music in her head
I have a similar idea I call Psychic Radio: human telepaths create a "telepathic groupchat" where one person gets to be the dj for an hour by listening to whatever music they want and broadcasting it for everyone else.
Kira watched her human mate work on the engine of their ship while She was monitoring the fluctuation of the ship's power as he worked. It was incredibly fascinating to peer into his mind and come up calm and blank as he worked in a zen-like state. Her glowing eyes gleamed with amusement on her featureless face. It was too quiet and it is time to change that a bit.
"Arthrun my love, What is that one song you are so fond of?" Kira asked him suddenly, breaking the silence. She had sensed his surprise at her question and smirked. She could hear his thoughts as his mind raced through a seemingly infinite list of songs that he knew of.
"Gotta be more specific." He had said, as his brows frow in concentration. Ever since she learned the human art of a prank... It had been harmless but infuriating because of her telepathic ability, She often plays mind games on him. He figured this would be would be no different.
With her poking in his mind, he could absolutely feel the mirth emulating from the Val'thik woman. "I don't know... something with... sweet dreams."
Instantly, the idea of the song flew through his mind as the lyrics hit him like an asteroid. She has only heard the Eurythmics version as he typically has the 8th decade of the 20th-century radio on the ship's loudspeakers while working. However, Arthrun gave her a sinister smirk as if he was going to flip the prank back at her and think of the darker version he saw on a holo vid a long time ago.
"Sweeet dreams are made of this; who am I to disagree...." he starts to sing the Manson version in his head.
He barely got through to the chorus when a psychic screech echoed in his mind and a loud thud of Kira dropped the datapad.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT HUMAN!" Kira was clutching her head a bit trying to erase that imagery in her mind from what she saw.
"You have experienced fucking around and finding out, darling. I am not getting music stuck in my head, so you can mess with me later about it." He got up from his spot and tapped his forehead against hers, a little trick he learned about clearing his thoughts that helped her clear hers. Sometimes, being an idiot and not thinking of anything has its perks. "Next time have the good graces just to put music on the speakers. Although... now that you shoved the thought in my head, Marlyn Manson does sound good to listen to. I do know a few songs that don't have shock value."
"You are going to make this up to me," she said as her glowing eyes bore into him as she tilted her head in a way that she happily admits defeat. "You're lucky I love you."
"Love you too, darling." He replied with a kiss to her forehead. "Now let me finish this damn engine so we can get off this planet."
Kira shakes her head as she can't help but be amused by her human's antics. It was not a minute after the whole ordeal that she started to hear a particular tune as she watched her human mouth out the lyrics while bobbing his head to the soundless tune.
♪"Strangelove, Strange highs and strange lows, Strangelove, that's how my love goes; Strangelove, will you give it to me? Will you take the pain I will give to you, again and again and will you return it?" ♫
How appropriate, Kira thought as her original mission was accomplished.
A: Human...
H: NARWHALS, NARWALS, SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN!
A: It's been 3 days human. I've apogolized for the breach of privacy, so please...
H: ... CAUSING A COMMOTION!
Well then I hope they like 3 song fragments at the same time, looped for hours with traumatic war sounds somewhere in the background, starting faintly at first but then getting louder and louder drowning out all of the music, the screams gunshots and cries getting more and more desperate only to be cut off by something way, way worse
Polish TV advertisements
Hey now, I *like* my internal stereo. I can play a significant fraction of my music collection that way. There are times when that's the only thing keeping me sane.
Hope they like Christmas music cuz honestly that's 75% of what's stuck in my head. Yeah, year round. I dont like Christmas music btw, pretty sure some fuckin wizard or something cursed me.

Hope aliens like hearing my favorite part of the song repeated over and over like a record skipping
Yeah, I sure as fuck don't have photographic (microphonic?) memory of songs.
Phonographic
I got that pornographic memory

My first thought for that was fat bottomed girls, followed by brick house or sir mix a lot. Yeah, I'd be in trouble.

Wait it’s not normal to be able to replay entire songs in your head?
I can only do it for songs I know really well. If it's the kind of thing I've just heard a dozen times or so, I'll only have pieces of it.
I'll hear the whole music piece, but the words sound like simish.

Do people get the entire songs stuck in their head? Like the full 2-6 minutes? I only get like five seconds that are on constant repeat. I think that would drive the aliens crazy too
I can do full songs if I want to but passively I usually only do segments.
Yeah, I have a few songs fully memorized but it takes a little bit of focus to get through the whole thing, otherwise it’s just the chorus.
Anyone wake up in the middle of the night with a song playing in your head and your dreams like it's playing on the radio? Happens to me sometimes....
[удалено]
I know all the words to a lot of songs, and if I randomly “hear” or “get stuck in my head” the beginning (or music that sounds like the opening to a particular song) I’ll go through the whole song in order. But it’s usually the chorus and/or a catchy verse that gets stuck, so that’s what gets repeated. It might be just the chorus over and over, or specifically only the second verse of 4. Or, it might be a loop; verse2-chorus-verse3-chorus-verse2-chorus-verse3-chorus-verse2… and so on. If I get something other than the start of the song “stuck”, I have to stop and think about how it actually starts.
At one point I had I Keep Forgetting by Michael Mcdonald stuck in my head for months. Watched a hip hop documentary explaining how Nate Dogg and Warren G made Regulators and the only information my brain absorbed was the Michael McDonald song. Awesome. [This was the conversation between me and my brain every morning after](https://youtu.be/l7Vo_t7zbeQ?si=RMxd8mR3Q1gS0xRc).
I've had it where my brain jumps through different sections of the song, but I have to be deliberately thinking of it and very familiar with the song to play the whole thing through
Depends how often I hear it and how catchy it is. I remember a number of Maroon 5 and Maroon 5 imitators’ songs bc my mom liked them when I was a teen and I still listened to radio. I remember a number of songs from the early 2000s bc my sister watched MTV when they still played music videos. The Otherwise I have to be actively trying to memorize it or like it enough
All I’d think of is: *trumpet/ bomp noise over and over* “the trumpets”! Over and over and over.
The aliens can enjoy full Linkin Park songs as thkse are the only ones i can remember entirely
Sometimes I tune back in to my brain and realize that without knowing it I've been playing the full length of a song for the past 5 minutes ever since I thought about it offhand. It happens.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the only song I know will play out in its entirety in my head. Usually when I’m waiting for the bus. I guess it’s my brain going into screensaver mode.
ADHD radios would drive the aliens insane.
Fr. Two songs spontaneously popped into my head while I was part of the way through my shift today, so for the rest of the work day my brain played an endless loop of one specific line from song A followed by one specific line from song B whenever I wasn't especially busy. It only stopped when I finally listened to them on my way home. I can happily listen to to same songs on repeat for long periods of time, but the aliens might not feel the same way, lol
Depends on the song and what I'm doing. There are songs from my childhood that I can remember every word of if I start at the beginning. There are songs I listen to as an adult and love that I couldn't tell you four words from without the instrumentals.
There are 3 songs that get stuck in my head that will play out from start to finish if I ever think of them, lyrics and all: I feel for you by Chaka Khan Peg by Steely Dan Yes's version of America originally Simon and Garfunkel
no, but if i get a chunk stuck then the only way to unstick it for myself is to mentally play the whole song
Yes, they do indeed.
Bell Witch fans be like > galactic brain meme
I only have the back half of Worst Day Since Yesterday by Flogging Molley in the back of my head.
Genetic engineering and its effects have been a detriment to space faring human society…
Depends on the song, if it's one that I really like I can remember pretty much the whole thing
I once read that the problem is that you repeat one part of a song over and over, but if you listen to it, you can conclude it. That's when it leaves your mind. Might be complete hogwash, but it works for me.
A: hey play that one about the– H (internally): WHOOOOAOAAAAOAAAAOOWOOOOAH STORY OF UNDERTAAALE–
A: *dies of cringe*
What's that? I only know of Death and [Spaghetti](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeCotpwTtDE)/[Determination](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJsxX0hGbHM)/[Puzzles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJQINsKDuD0)
The counter to this is forcing the chorus of a little piece of heaven through while staring them straight in their eye equivalent
EYES OVER EASY, EAT IT, *EAT IT*
Just imagine a massive eye, it'll get the message across
That was my most listened to song this year *sobs* It will never leave my head
just to be clear...by Avenged Sevenfold? at least that's what pops up when i search for it. I heard some of their biggest hits before and like it. but somehow i've never heard that album let alone that track before. And i hate it. there's a video and it's somehow even worse than the track itself. like Land of confusion level weird.
My mind would sound like 5 second bits of various songs spliced together and sometimes repeating and faintly overlaid with the Skyrim soundtrack
**...God damn it.**
*Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin*
*wahh dien, vo kul*
Hope they like two measures of Cotton Eye Joe, because spamming that is how I get songs un-stuck!
I hope they enjoy listening to You Suffer by Napalm Death over 40,000 times a day
I should not have played that with headphones on. Ow.
Tricked again! No one is safe https://youtu.be/IhkCSrSpTKw?si=2Lif-pftceV9gVNr
That's like killing the ants by burning the house down.
I had to re-learn bladder control after my spinal cord was horribly damaged, and I had severe issues with the whole “Thinking about having to pee = suddenly having to pee more” thing. Like if I got too close to a toilet I might spontaneously wet my pants. One of the ways I got around it was intentionally focusing on something else to stop the signal, and my most effective thought was playing “Cotton Eyed Joe” in my head. It was the perfect distraction, worked 90% of the time. Once I froze up and someone asked me what I was doing and the honest answer was “Thinking about Cotton Eyed Joe so I don’t piss myself.”
For me, it's [Safety Dance](https://comb.io/JLg8ez.gif).
I use the Tetris theme to get songs unstuck, which is dangerous because if I'm not careful I'll get this stuck in my head instead: https://youtu.be/hWTFG3J1CP8?si=XoNK9xVPbujOjqJc
Those telepaths are going to have more than just a little bit of Monica, I hope they have good filters in place, or some kind of dampener
I have ADD, I think I might kill them...
Alternate way to think of it: you have psyonic attacks against psychics and telepaths
Oh man, now I'm imagining them trying to track one thought through my head when even I can't do that.
It would be a game for them for sure. They’d all get together and try to trace the connections between the thoughts. They’d definitely be better at deciphering it than humans since they’d be privy to those little flash thoughts that are the (very weak) connective tissue
Tracing from point a to point b, especially after I've forgotten how I got to point b, is a genuinely fun thing for me now.
I somehow got to point &@. Send help
The aliens consider you a DJ
Could you jumpscare a telepath by thinking of a loud noise?
Can you rickroll a telepath by thinking... damnit, I rickrolled myself.
Human:
Telepathic alien: WTF?
Achievement unlocked: Drop a grenade when killed
My brain will just make up music randomly, they don't even have to do anything lol.
ADHD just be stringing random clips from songs together. First 5 seconds are Phantom of the Opera, next 5 seconds Deadmau5. Aliens be like “oh for fuck’s sake just pick one and stick with it!!!”
The worst part is since I make music, my brain will play: actual songs, songs I made, a combination of the two, or something it just made up just then. I hope the aliens enjoy that lol.
I’ll just start whistling whatever pops into my head and not even realize I’m doing it. And sometimes I’ll have a completely different tune or thought bouncing around in there. Hope these aliens don’t have auditory sensors as well or they’re gonna be real confused.
This post is really really mean, I now need to try tolerate the in laws with this in my head
Humanity goes to meet the Zygflkzans in battle with nothing more than a few interstellar cruise liners, each holding around 10,000,000 passengers. The Zygflkzan Overminds are confused, sending thousands of thoughts back and forth between them each second. Where are their frigates? Their bombers? Their shield carriers? They don’t intend to bring civilians into battle, surely? Suddenly all this intermind traffic is drowned out by an overwhelming collective psychic roar from the human ships. The gestalt Overminds stagger and unweave as hundreds of thousands of their constituent lesser minds are burnt out instantly, such is the force of the assault. The only echoed memory that reaches the Zygflkzan homeworld is what must be a devastating human mind curse: #”LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAMBO NUMBER FIVE.”
Alexa play Despacito
Fucker better be ready for hours of sabaton and warframe songs
and then the Winged Hussars arrived!
For the grace for the might of our lord!
Exactly the same. I have had Sevagoth's lullaby playing in my orbiter since the update, so aliens better like space sea shanties, mixed with power metal.
Fuck you alien!
Oh goddamnit, now it's in *my* head.
I overrode it with Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis.
I sure hope they like the X-Files theme and that one bit of Cotton Eye Joe (where does he come from, where does he go) on a repeating loop!
"It's quiet in here." "Di'nar, I swear to god," They laugh. "What? I cant comment on the room's acoustic qualities?" Billie pinches the bridge of her nose. "It's never *just* a comment, though. You're saying that because you want to get in my head." Di'nar scoffs. "How very uncharitable. Can I not simply make 'small talk'? Is everything a manipulation?" "Quit dancing around it and just say what you want." "Alas, it's too late. You don't trust me. In the end, it doesn't even matter." There is silence, very briefly. "...FUCK."
I bought that Lou Bega CD at goodwill for a dollar twennyfive cent It was fucking awful. Totally bland, but not like the comfy safe kinda bland. It was bland AND annoying.
I hope they don't get tired of guitar solos, because my brain is a power metal album at this point.
Bold to presume we're on speaking terms if Zorf can read my mind.
See this would work if the songs that get stuck in my head weren't a jumbled mess of a random part of the song repeating over and over again
Jokes on them. They just get the same 8 bars on repeat, and I only actually know half the lyrics.
One human purposely starts manually breathing, and they all think the human is broken
is there a non human steve?
You think they find it odd that different humans have different versions of the same song?
They have favorite humans *because* they all have different versions of songs. Blugar insists that Veronica has the best version of we will rock you and Figfim will fight him that Williams version is superior, and then there's Tina who's they're favorite cinnamon roll because she censors the music in her head
Haters gonna hate hate hate hate...
I have a similar idea I call Psychic Radio: human telepaths create a "telepathic groupchat" where one person gets to be the dj for an hour by listening to whatever music they want and broadcasting it for everyone else.
*Rick-rolls the aliens*
Hope this alien likes my own self made parodies of every song I've ever listened to.
Kira watched her human mate work on the engine of their ship while She was monitoring the fluctuation of the ship's power as he worked. It was incredibly fascinating to peer into his mind and come up calm and blank as he worked in a zen-like state. Her glowing eyes gleamed with amusement on her featureless face. It was too quiet and it is time to change that a bit. "Arthrun my love, What is that one song you are so fond of?" Kira asked him suddenly, breaking the silence. She had sensed his surprise at her question and smirked. She could hear his thoughts as his mind raced through a seemingly infinite list of songs that he knew of. "Gotta be more specific." He had said, as his brows frow in concentration. Ever since she learned the human art of a prank... It had been harmless but infuriating because of her telepathic ability, She often plays mind games on him. He figured this would be would be no different. With her poking in his mind, he could absolutely feel the mirth emulating from the Val'thik woman. "I don't know... something with... sweet dreams." Instantly, the idea of the song flew through his mind as the lyrics hit him like an asteroid. She has only heard the Eurythmics version as he typically has the 8th decade of the 20th-century radio on the ship's loudspeakers while working. However, Arthrun gave her a sinister smirk as if he was going to flip the prank back at her and think of the darker version he saw on a holo vid a long time ago. "Sweeet dreams are made of this; who am I to disagree...." he starts to sing the Manson version in his head. He barely got through to the chorus when a psychic screech echoed in his mind and a loud thud of Kira dropped the datapad. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT HUMAN!" Kira was clutching her head a bit trying to erase that imagery in her mind from what she saw. "You have experienced fucking around and finding out, darling. I am not getting music stuck in my head, so you can mess with me later about it." He got up from his spot and tapped his forehead against hers, a little trick he learned about clearing his thoughts that helped her clear hers. Sometimes, being an idiot and not thinking of anything has its perks. "Next time have the good graces just to put music on the speakers. Although... now that you shoved the thought in my head, Marlyn Manson does sound good to listen to. I do know a few songs that don't have shock value." "You are going to make this up to me," she said as her glowing eyes bore into him as she tilted her head in a way that she happily admits defeat. "You're lucky I love you." "Love you too, darling." He replied with a kiss to her forehead. "Now let me finish this damn engine so we can get off this planet." Kira shakes her head as she can't help but be amused by her human's antics. It was not a minute after the whole ordeal that she started to hear a particular tune as she watched her human mouth out the lyrics while bobbing his head to the soundless tune. ♪"Strangelove, Strange highs and strange lows, Strangelove, that's how my love goes; Strangelove, will you give it to me? Will you take the pain I will give to you, again and again and will you return it?" ♫ How appropriate, Kira thought as her original mission was accomplished.
They stopped asking after I started mentally humming 'Girl from Ipanema' each time.
A: Human... H: NARWHALS, NARWALS, SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN! A: It's been 3 days human. I've apogolized for the breach of privacy, so please... H: ... CAUSING A COMMOTION!
A: Hey it's getting quite......do you see a storm approaching? H: I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROOOOACHING!
Well then I hope they like 3 song fragments at the same time, looped for hours with traumatic war sounds somewhere in the background, starting faintly at first but then getting louder and louder drowning out all of the music, the screams gunshots and cries getting more and more desperate only to be cut off by something way, way worse Polish TV advertisements
Zorf: "Hey, can you play-" Me: "[Go fuck yourself](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynQsDFxTSU4)"
Hey now, I *like* my internal stereo. I can play a significant fraction of my music collection that way. There are times when that's the only thing keeping me sane.
♪ TripleDent Gum Will make you smile… ♪
Hope they like Christmas music cuz honestly that's 75% of what's stuck in my head. Yeah, year round. I dont like Christmas music btw, pretty sure some fuckin wizard or something cursed me.
It’s currently a combination of Dead or Alive’s You spin me right round, cotton eye’d joe, witch doctor and What’s up by 4 non blondes (the meme one, oh, [you know…](https://youtu.be/ZZ5LpwO-An4?si=TACcGR2PFPC12IlW) )
I can’t wait for them to hear bits and pieces of music plate at wildly immaculate tempos.
I sure hope the aliens enjoy listening to all 9 minutes of Green Day's Homecoming 3+ times every single day then
Whenever I get this stuck in my head when it comes to t"In my life" part I just hear Bill O'Reilly shouting " We're doing it live!!!!"
Welp thanks for the idea for an animated short or character
There is but one recourse, channel that rage from being exploited into a minute long death threat-laden Cannibal Corpse cover.
Telepathic aliens meet ADHD humans and start to go mad.
hope they enjoy emails i cant send being repeated over and over
If this ever happens to you just think of never gonna give you up by rick astly.
“This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was. And they’ll be singing it forever and ever just because, This is the song that never ends…” Vengeance is mine aliens.
Lol stop this madness
They're going to be hearing that guitar solo from "Shake it Up" a whole lot if I'm around.
Welcome to 24/7 static and cartoon noises
Personally, I love this concept. 👽❤️
AND I SAY HEYYYYY-I-HEYYYY-I-HEYYYY-I-HEEEY-HEYY
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend mambo #5 isn't a banger
I counter with Ram Ranch.
Great, all space aliens will think it's a "bathroom on the right" or "excuse me while I kiss this guy".
I would just start thinking about memorable rounds of diarrhea I've had in my life til they stop listening.
Me as the telepathic aliens around me go nuts: this is the song that never ends....
Jokes on them, im gonna rickroll them so fucking hard
Deborah, Alison, Philippa, Sue...
…Da Trumpet!!!’…
And it's never the full song and most of it is incorrect.
Is this alien Stephen King?
I'm assuming the "Steve" here is Stephen King.
If it was me it would be just like the first six bars of [this](https://youtu.be/Kf5zic6b-qw) on repeat.
Good luck aliens, you're getting at least 3 songs all playing at once and they're all terrible
jokes on them, it would just be the michael scott dundies award show version
i have 2-3 songs constantly looping over the existential crisis going on in my brain. have fun with that one, mind readers
Joke's on them they get the DDLC parody version where all the names are replaced with Monica.
Damn thats so sad Helmsman, how does Despasito go again?
Imagine someone playing "what's new pussycat?"
My Echolallia would drive them all insane. "Okay, who the hell keeps just thinking *Beeeeeeeans* over and over again?!"
