I remember being put under for dental surgery and the doc says, as he slips the headphones on my ears, "we like to play music for our patients as the anesthesia kicks in, what do you think of the Dave Matthew's Band?". I had just enough time to say "Ah I don't really care for the Da-" before I was out like a light and woke up in a recovery room to that damn pan flute CD from the 90's.

I don't understand why you replied with the word crash. Is that a reference to something? A movie or one of their songs?

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Crash

is the album, but tbh I was thinking of the song from the album, "Crash Into Me"...

That's all I'm really familiar with, not my cuppa....

They use violins on that album but I don't think pan flutes. Not on that song anyway

It’s the name of their 2nd album.

So glad my surgery a while ago was music free, this should be standard.

dmb caused Chicago's 9/11 by dumping a busload of shit and piss onto a tour boat full of people

I'm not a huge fan of them either, but there are far more terrible things to wake up to.
