peeing music

i was in a toilet of a shopping centre one day and this song was playing softly in the background. while peeing and thinking about all the random things that people think of when they're peeing, i began to notice the noise in my ear was actually a song.

not too bad, i thought, not really paying attention. then as i listened harder, i knew i had to figure out what song it was for future listening. so i tried to do what i always do in such situations, listen out for a clear line in the song lyrics and then search for it online.

seems easy right? but i was in a toilet where people were peeing and shitting and flushing and washing, and the low volume of the music really didn't help. i strained my ears and finally caught this "make me wanna throw a shoe."

turns out it was good enough.

writing this reminds me of the time i was in a clothing shop and there was a nice song playing. it was chill and electronic, and FRENCH. i tried my very best but deciphering french is definitely not something that i'm good at.
