    Time by Pink Floyd.

    Back in the day. Moped, cassette Walkman, and very early wired earbuds. The engine noise covered the several minutes of ticking in the beginning, so it seemed like the tape had stopped. Then the alarm clocks kicked in and startled me so badly that I almost crashed.

    I can’t think of a specific song but I can say that I hate when radio ads do that shit.

      There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, “M double A (Beep Beep) C O” Fucking hated that ad.

        The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.

          Ads should be banned

            Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.

            I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.

        Nah it was similarly-named Aamco.

        “Double A (beep beep) M C O”

          You’re right, my mistake.

          Shows what a shitty ad it was. It was so bad, I was boycotting an entirely different business.

    Not quite what you’re asking, but I once fell asleep on a long haul flight listening to a Cinematic Orchestra album with some very comfy headphones.

    I woke up to a little filler / ambient track that is mostly silence with a ship’s fog horn blown a few times… The cabin was dark, most people were asleep or quietly watching movies, and my half asleep brain forgot I was wearing headphones. I went from confused to creeping panic about what this horn meant and why no on else was reacting to it until I finally woke up properly

    My wife added ABBA’s Dancing Queen to our driving playlist for our first long trip. Silence into a deafening piano slide half way through the drive was an interesting way to nearly die from shock.

    Not too scary, but the intro to Tune-Yards’ Gangster makes me reflexively look in the rear-view mirror to see if I need to pull over.

    Somewhat unrelated it should be illegal to put dogs whining, babies crying, and other irritating noises in commercials.

    There are some songs by Elektronomia that sound like the car window is down.
