In Daft Punk's hit from 2000, "One More Time", the artists lied by in fact asking you to celebrate one more time 61 more times.

This issue is bleeding into other genres. Next they ask you to do it TWO more times.

The entire song is a single request. If you started dancing before the song was over, that's on you.

I'm just saying, it's a slippery slope. Daft Punk is famous for making repetitive requests. Here's the lyrics from their song "Around the World" that forcibly request that I travel where they so choose.

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

I don't see a single word there that sounds like a request. I think that was just a summary of their latest vacation.

Oh very nice. Where'd they go?

The world? Like around the world, around the world?

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I couldn’t tell you where I’ve heard it but yes I have to say that sounds somehow familiar

[–] tordenflesk@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Who do they think they are? Ann Lee?

Had the same problem with my spotter at the gym

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

He was…asking you to give it to him one more time?

Why does the title capitalize every word?

.... Probably to make people like me wonder about it.
