The other day I broke down and bought a double-CD compilation of retro club tunage ca. late 80s and early 90s. Now I've got a phrase (lyrical memes ahoy) running through my head.
There's a common refrain that appears in the M/A/R/R/S tune "Pump of the Volume" and Hithouse's "Jack to the Sound of the Underground". According to various lyrics pages, the M/A/R/RS refrain goes like this:
rythmic, systemic and world control
magnetic, genetic, dement your soul
Whereas (as far as I can tell) "Jack to the Sound of the Underground" intones:
automatic pushbutton remote control
synthetic genetics command your soul
Anyone else know any other variations on this? Does anyone care?
