When There's an Astley, There's a Way
A very distracting and slightly surreal take on the Dancing with Distraction Challenge
Do you hear the people sing?
"I hope you're not trying to earworm me"
Singing the song of angry men
"Trust me, I can fight it off..."
Reaching for your flag, are you?
"Actually, I'm reaching for ear plugs"
Cool story, but I'm not buying it
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes
"I am completely immune to all earworms"
Okay, but I'm never going to give you up
"Never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you - oh you ass!"

Thanks for reading!

It is what it is.
Here are a couple of other pieces you might like to check, if you have time and inclination:
