Your Life is Over When an Unintended Message is Sticky
Aly and AJ is a pop music duo that’s a hit with girls ages 7-13. One of their most popular songs is “Rush.” And there’s a line in the song that goes like this:
Don’t let nobody tell you, your life is over
The problem with this song (besides the glaringly obvious double negative) is that the way the line is combined with the music, I only get the following part of the song stuck in my head:
Your life is over
Yes, at least once a week, I have those words playing over and over again in my head.
What part of your message is sticking in customers’ heads?

See, now, that’s a great message. If any of the three parts ended up in my head, it would be alright.
