This post is a complete waste of your time, isn’t even about something new and features the happy synth pop tune Popcorn, a relentless earworm.
This means that if you view this video you will have Astro Cat’s image burned into your mind, along with the relentlessly jaunty switched-on melody.
And you’ll be wondering, “WHY AN 808?”
You have been warned.
