Psychological Easter Eggs

Today's Recommended Listening: WAIT Not so fast!
I have a story to tell first.
When I was a kid, my parents gave me a stereo that played
cassette tapes and records. I had plenty of tapes, but no
records. I still remember seeing the turning table for the
first time. I remember the loud echoing pops that came
from dragging the needle across random objects. Eventually,
my curiosity got the better of me and I asked my dad for
some records. He had a large collection, and he barely used
them. At the time, I didn't understand why he gave me 3
Christmas records, a Bobby McFerrin record, and some
record with a dragon on the front.
I listen to them for a while but thought it was a joke.
Why would my dad give me these terrible records? Are these
the ones he didn't want? Years passed, the records faded into
obscurity. I don't even know where that player is today, but
I doubt it still works.
Then a few weeks ago I was reading XKCD when I found this strip.
That's hilarious, the dad acutally planted a
psychological 'easter-egg' haha. So glad my parents weren't
smart enough to do that to me....
Then I heard a song I hadn't heard in years...
It instantly took me back. I didn't even have time to pass
judgement. I had to listen, I was compelled to like it.
Bump, Bump Bump, CLAP!
Do you remember when we used to dance?
Bump, Bump Bump, CLAP!
And incidence arose from circumstance.
Well, I GUESS THE JOKES ON YOU DAD! CAUSE NOW I FRIGGIN LOVE ASIA!
