have ever hear a song that makes you want to walk in circles?

[cimorene]

i'm still reading badfic at ff.net. the first sentence of a chapter was:

Have ever hear a song that makes you want to walk in circles?

[pause for the audience's horrified silence.]

cim: "oh yes! that one madonna tune! i remember - it was so strange! i was seized by the urge to do slow laps around the table!"
perhael: me, i bought a human-sized hamster wheel when i first heard that one coldplay song, so i could run in circles alllllll day long.
cim: yeah, but that isn't the same, is it? because this is supposed to make you walk in circles.
lilah: oh, drat. well, i suppose i've never had that feeling! now, skipping in circles... i get that feeling all the time.
cim: and just once, when i was in the dallas airport, a country song came on the loudspeakers and i practically had to tie myself down, so strong was the urge to turn cartwheels in a circle.

Perhaps they meant you walk in circles because the song's so agonizingly bad you can do nothing else?
Of course...that's just me applying, omg, logic to badfic. :P

yeah... well... i've never been forced to walk around in circles by badness, but that is plausible! except that in context, i think it was supposed to be a good song. or a nostalgic song or. okay, i'm going to stop thinking about that scene now before my brain breaks.

all that sentence makes me think of is soul coughing's walk around in circles--which i think the whole point was not walking in circles?

i'd completely forgotten that song, but you're the third person to mention it now. :x i never listened to the lyrics really though, so... i have no idea.

i get the chorus stuck in my head every now and then: "i don't need to walk around in circles" is how it goes, so. here's the song (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=721845D80594F711), if you want.
