Universal music owns the rights to Remember (walking in the sand) by the Shangri-las.

If somebody can scrap that annoying song from the internet it would be win for humanity

The song is amazing, it’s the horrible sped up lyrics that are awful.

If only they also owned the rights to the annoying AI voice they use too.

God I thought I was the only one who fucking can't stand that voice. Whenever I complain about it everyone else is just so nonchalant.

Those oh no's made me remember "Oh no you didn't" from Mercenaries 2. Had to listen to it.

Unrelated, but in wanted to complain about being reminded of the song. And now I want a Mercs 3...
