Persistent earworm alert CCLXVIII

If you're going to compose a song with just one lyric, it ought to be a captivating one.  Spunkshine carried this off in "Virtue Is (Mostly) Boring," a track released last month.  Before it playing it today, the WBER DJ mentioned there was an interesting lyric about two-thirds of the way through the song.  The recurring lyric, "Why am I doing this?," somehow just works in the context of an otherwise throbbing electronica tune.

Who says electronica and existentialism can't coexist?  Next time I have to complete a mundane task, that lyric will undoubtedly play on a mental loop.
