#940 Hearing songs that have sirens in them while you're driving

Check the mirrors and look over your shoulder as much as you want. If you're listening to music, there's a good chance that there won't be any red and blue lights flashing behind you.

One of these days, a song that has a siren in it will cause an accident. Some unsuspecting listener will be checking mirrors and hit something before he or she realizes it was a false alarm. This accident will lead to a movement toward banning siren-containing songs on the radio.

Okay, maybe that's a bit radical, but let's at least acknowledge the slight annoyance that these songs cause before any type of incident does occur. These songs are the cause of so many unnecessary mirror checks, over-the-shoulder glances and skipped heartbeats. If it's your music that you're listening to, then you listen at your own risk, but would anyone really mind if police sirens weren't ever played over the radio?

It's just slightly annoying.
