Via Michael, a good YouTube video. This guy asks random New Yorkers what song they’re listening to:

I’ve always said that a fun superpower would be the ability to know what people are listening to on their iPods. It obviously wouldn’t be my top-choice superpower because it’s a stretch to come up with even one practical application for it, but it’s one I wish I had every time I’m on the subway.

Sometimes I try to listen real closely or look over people’s shoulders. Turns out a whole lot more people than you’d expect listen to the Beach Boys. Or maybe that makes sense; the Beach Boys are pretty awesome.

In my office building elevator last week some guy was very audibly listening to Billy Ocean’s “Get out of My Dreams, Get into My Car.”
