More than 2,500 people were interviewed for the study, which was published in the scientific journal Psychology of Music.

hmmm. Interesting.
I always thought this was Moby. I remember this song stuck in my head when I was going to one of those bikini coffee places a couple times.
Now, I'm disappointed that it isn't.
The Jimmy Fallon take is fucking hilarious.
