As something of an addendum

camwynto the previous post, I'd like to note that normal people probably have an easier time listening to Madonna's "Material Girl", too.
NORMAL PERSON BRAIN: Hmm, perky song... where'd I hear it last... oh, yeah, that Marilyn Monroe looking video. Madonna used to be cute in a kinda-slutty way, huh?
MY BRAIN: Hmm, perky song... you know, that base line reminds me of some footage I've seen of factories... you know, this makes a great theme song for the inventor of the printing press among the Aftherai*, she was a textile manufacturer (ha! 'material girl'!) who realized you could replicate characters over and over if you just carved them out of wood and arranged them properly... yeah, little bustling woman who looked kind of like Piffany in Nodwick... cue the explosion of educational materials across a continent of Elk-riders!
It's probably easier inside a normal person's head. But my God, it must be boring.
*The Aftherai are the inhabitants of a universe I'm sort of peripherally working on in the background. They tamed Megaloceros giganteus, the so-called Irish elk, as their riding animal owing to a severe shortage of anything else worth riding in their area. They mostly ride the does, and their primary meat animal is the fallow deer. Their defining cultural trait is a combination of curiosity and persistence that would cause parents of two-year-olds to whimper in recognition and most of our world's trickster deities to try to claim the credit for their creation.)
