We got it wrong. We should make a "non-boycott" list of people who aren't assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.
Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.
Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.
I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction
Never letting Hans borrow my car after he used it as an instrument in an orchestral arrangement of Yankee Doodle Dandy
Hopefully he's a nicer to cars than Frank Zappa.
Edit: Sadly it appears that videos of Frank "playing a car" on The Monkees are harder to find than I suspected.
Here you go
Huh, I guess Brian Eno wasn't available.
