Mp3 player

One of the best things about owning an mp3 player is walking down the street with the music blaring in your head and pretending that you’re in a movie.

Life’s so much better when you have your own personal soundtrack. Try it sometime, it’s ace.

It makes you feel like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, or one of the Simpsons in the countless movie, strutting in time to the music, parodies they do.



When you’re walking along the street, and you’re walking in time to the music, you feel like everyone should be looking at you and going “wow, look at that guy, he’s so cool”. Except of course nobody else can even hear the music let alone know you’re walking in time to it.

So you end up feeling like a bit of a bell end; a silly immature bell end. But it’s still fun.

So far I’ve only just done it to whatever song happens to be playing at the time. I might start tailoring it. Charlie Brooker recommends walking around your house in the dead of night with some Halloween music cranked up in your earphones. I might give that a try. Sounds like a right giggle*

Or perhaps put on the Benny Hill tune after a comedy misunderstanding has somehow led to a group of scantily clad nurses chasing me down the street.

Next time you’re walking down the street and a good song comes on your mp3 player, start strutting like Travolta.

I’d recommend Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand, Aisha by Death in Vegas and Can You Feel It by The Jackson Five.

*actually I imagine it would be quite scary, combining the creepy music with the inability to hear anything due to the headphones.
