"You spin me right round baby, right round..." you know that must have been the inspiration for this Weezer promotion: https://humanrecordplayer.com

[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.78)]Have you taken a stroll down the street lately and found yourself surrounded by people holding their phones out and spinning around in circles to Weezer until they're green in the face? Last week, Weezer dropped a new single that would only play via Human Record Player, a site that allows you to download a QR code and then spin in circles to hear Weezer's new single, Records. If you stop spinning, the music stops playing.[/color]

I think I will pass on this stunt

Likewise

We used to do this thing at MQ6 where you held a broom straight above your head and spun around staring upwards at it. After maybe 2-3 dozen spins, you place the broom head on the ground and try to step on it. Invariably you fall on your butt. No feckin Weezer played. You just fell and all the other ushers, candy girls and ticket takers laughed. 

Kids today and their phones...they just don't know.
