The videogame DiRT 2 (rally racing) has pretty much completely genius sound design when it comes to how they integrate licensed music into the experience. While music never plays during the races (and thank god for that), every other part of the game is steeped in music. While you're in the games menu system (a virtual tour inside your trailer and the event happening outside) you can hear the music in the distance, as if being performed by a live band a distance away. When you pick a race and the loading screen snaps up, the music gets loud and clear, practically smacking you in the face.

What's distinctive about DiRT 2, however, is that when you're in your trailer the song is just playing, beginning, versus, chorus, everything, but when you snap to a loading screen, when the music gets loud and clear, the game always jumps the song to the chorus or "the best part" of it. This happens before races and after races, and thusly you end up listening to a lot of the best part of a song over and over again, which thoroughly brain washes you into loving the song.

Edith, while one of the songs DiRT 2 brainwashed me into loving, I would probably love regardless of DiRT 2. This song is just one giant hook, one after the other. Not only is the main riff itself one helluva hook, but the chorus vocals ("while we ride together now, here to make a scene we don't wanna turn the music down") are infectious party nonsense, and even the two verses themselves are, in a way, addicting (especially when he falsetto howls 'anesthetized' and 'it's burned').

Best of all is that the song is complete nonsense, which sometimes I hate and sometimes, like in the case of this song, I love. I mean, the first verse is basically "I smoke a lot of pot" and the second verse is "I smoked a lot of pot and because of that I burned my chicken and now I am going to be hungry". Who is Edith and what does she have to do with the verses, or what does the verses have to do with the chorus? I don't know. All the lyrics I've found online for this song say nothing of what they say after they shout the name Edith (sounds like "You're sweetness" which would work).

Either way, I think this song is pretty bitchin'. I haven't listened to the album I link to from here, just the EP I discovered this song on. The Hot Melts' other songs are interesting, they almost don't have their own sound, and out of four songs I swear they cover four genres. The last song on the EP sounds like it's one twangy accented vocal away from being a country song. Very interesting to say the least. YMMV as always.
