Makes me think of the concept of heaven. Nobody knows what it's really like, but everyone says it's great. Then you can't come back to life, there's no refund. It may just be a fraud and a fake. Please don't kill me, just speculation

Reminds me of Uzumaki (not Naruto Uzumaki, the horror manga Uzumaki)

Who knew dancing the Black Spiral could be so catchy? [Old World Of Darkness joke]Alternatively, I think we've found the theme song to Uzumaki.

*Down, down, down you go No way to stop As you fall, hear me call No, no, no Listen to this warning and Consider these Simple words of advice Stop, stop, stop Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiraling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you've got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes This could lead to excellence Or serious injury Only one way to know Go, go, go Go ahead, wreck your life That might be good Who can say what's wrong or right? Nobody can Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And now that you've tried it, you're back to report That the spiraling shape was a fraud and a fake You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it There won't be a refund, you'll never go back The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes (Spiral in their eyes) Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiraling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing).*

Its go ahead and wreck your life that might be good but hey i quibble....just listen to the music of the bells they will set you straight...and as to who can say whats wrong or write (sic) I'd go with our Manny kant who is getting a surprising airing on relatively (naaarf) naff ITV snoozefest with crime-solving vicars Grantchester....

My god, the lyrics are even better than I thought when I was 16 years younger than today. "Go ahead, wreck your life, it might be good..." Damn that's awesome.

And here I thought this song was about the sexual instinct.

This song applies very well to trendy technologies. It was written around the time the DVD was invented and has accurately charted its obsessive embrace by the masses and its eventual rejection when Blu-ray became dominant. Stay tuned for the fate of the iPhone and Facebook.
