This is true

Every time I make a genius playlist on iTunes it includes the song "The Boys are back in town" by Thin Lizzy. This is a bizarre concept... I can't figure out what it is about this song that somehow defies the music genome project. And I'm not exaggerating... EVERY single genius playlist I make has this song in it.

For those of you who don't have iTunes or know what a Genius playlist (i.e. Mom) a Genius playlist is based on the music genome project... someone with no time took every song they could find and scientifically broke it down to compare it with other songs. It then takes a song you like and finds songs that are similar. Pandora radio uses it, so does apple Genius. But Apple Genius can't seem to wrap it's genius mind around the fact that Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are back in town" has nothing in common with Gladys Knights "Midnight Train to Georgia." That is an apple playlist.
