The hospital I worked at caught a LOT of flak when they started making people clock in and out for smoke breaks in the early 2000s. The smokers complained they only took a couple breaks a day for only a few minutes. Within the first month they found out people spent over half their days on smoke breaks.
It was a song I heard from a friend who was in a Music Appreciation class. The song was just counting in kind of a meditative chant and only did it in groups of 2 3 or 4, i can’t remember. and they only counted to 12 or something and then started back. so it’d be like “one two three four one two three four five six seven eight one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve one two three four”

One thing I’ve found is it’s good at blocking ads via mobile gaming. The downside is if those ads return rewards in-game.
There was a demo for a music video maybe 10 years ago, Day Day - Backseat, the video seems to have since been scrubbed from the internet and the best I could find was a thumbnail. The only things I can remember about it are the lyrics went something like “if your driver needs a rider…then you put it in my backseat” (yes, its about exactly what you think) and the guy singing it looked like a cross between Geordi LaForge an Lady Gaga.
