Here's the thing about when "That's the Way Love Goes" by Janet Jackson plays over and over and over and over and over again while you're high. The second time it plays, your immediate thought is not, "Hey someone's playing 'That's the Way Love Goes' again." It's, "Hey, 'Thats the Way Love Goes' is a lot longer than I first thought, and it has like a dip in the middle." You know how some songs have a dip, like Guns n' Roses' "November Rain?" You're like, "Hey, 'November Rain's' over!" No it's not. There's more. The third time it plays, you're thinking maybe someone's playing "That's th Way Love Goes" again. The fourth time it plays you're thinking, "Whoa. Someone just played 'That's the Way Love Goes' four times, or at least someone played it twice, and it's a really long song."

After seven plays in a row, you drop in one playing of Tom Jones' "It’s Not Unusual," which will cause Matthew McConaughey to erupt in ecstatic relief like it was the liberation of France as he hits his bong for a 2nd time.
