This is probably an insane hill to die on but I genuinely think Music for a Sushi Restaurant is one of the best pop songs of the last several years.
Just listen to the instrumental. The bass line is SO good, the drums are ridiculously tight, and then the horns come in and somehow take the whole thing to another level. There’s so much going on in that song but it never sounds cluttered. Every time I listen to it with good headphones I notice some little sound or part I wasn't paying attention to before And I will defend the scatting. I don't care, It works.
My hottest take is that if you took Harry Styles completely out of the equation and this exact instrumental came from some obscure jazz-funk band, music people would be absolutely insufferable about how good it is. Instead, it’s called Music for a Sushi Restaurant and was a Harry Styles single so everyone is just like “haha sushi song.”
No. Listen to it again. Specifically the instrumental.
I will die here.

I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem, but it’s starting to affect my personal life and I figured this was probably the safest place to ask.
A few months ago I started barking whenever a sombr song came on. I honestly don't remember why I started doing it. It was just a stupid joke at first. Like I’d hear the opening of back to friends and do one or two quiet “woofs.”
Unfortunately it has escalated.
I now bark every time I hear sombr. Not just when I intentionally play him. In the car. In stores. TikTok. Someone else’s phone. It’s almost automatic at this point.
My fiancé has asked me repeatedly to stop. We recently went out with his family and undressed started playing in the restaurant and apparently I barked loud enough that his mom stopped talking mid-sentence. He told me afterward that it was embarrassing and that I need to learn when a joke has run its course.
The problem is I genuinely still think it’s funny.
My family is also completely over it. My sister won't let me have the aux anymore and my mom recently asked me why I “can’t just enjoy music normally.” I've tried explaining that I obviously can, just apparently not sombr.
I know the obvious answer is “stop barking,” but has anyone else developed an involuntary sombr-related response like this? And if so how did you stop without ruining the music for yourself?
I feel like I’m slowly being forced to choose between the people I love and barking at a 21-year-old man from New York.
Please advise.
