Do you have a drop everything bit of pop culture?

[polymath]

Do you have a movie, TV show or song that if you flick onto it by chance, you just have to stop what you're doing and watch or listen? Just curious because I personally can't think of anything that I have that kind of relationship with but I know people who do.

I can do that with few movies and songs, but rarely TV shows, unless its something I haven't seen in forever.

Movies:
Shaun of the Dead
Dark City
Watchmen (on TNT)

Music:
Any song by The Electric Light Orchestra. If I hear "Sweet Talkin' Woman" or "Evil Woman", I will stop what I'm doing, listen to the song, sing it, and if I can find an aisle that isn't being occupied at the store, I will dance to it.

Yup.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

If I hear the Beatles, it's like:
"Okay, I'm done talking to you, I'm gonna go over here and sing."

Nothing specific. I don't watch TV, so I can't just come across things that will distract. Every show or movie that could possibly steal my attention I have on DVD, so it's entirely voluntary.

There's a great deal in the music column, but I don't drop a conversation or something. I will, however, keep listening as I start singing. Under my breath if it's an involved conversation, if it's just BSing with a friend then we'll both frequently burst out in song (walking around Manhattan singing 'Jailhouse Rock' at the top of your lungs is pretty awesome).

If I ever hear any Gorillaz or Daft Punk song, hell even the Beastie Boys if I'm lucky, I will listen to it. I can't remember the last time I saw a music video of them...

It changes a lot. I have this happen to me when "We Found Love" by Rihanna/Calvin Harris comes on, at the moment.

 

[Vault101]

If I hear that song from "saints row 2" (*synth* *SYNTH* hey hey hey HEY!*synth* oooooooohhhhhh wooooooooooooaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHH)

I have to sit there and sing along internally

also whenever monsters inc is on I have to se

 

[Kae]

Watchmen and Blade Runner, if that's on I am not able to do anything, fortunately for me both of those are rarely on.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much whenever I hear dance songs from the early 00's like Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight), Chemical Brothers- Star Guitar, Stardust- Music Sound Better With You and etc.
