You may not realize it, but you know this tune all too well. Though grunge fans didn’t care so much about how they dressed, apparently they cared how they smelled. The product’s manufacturer, Mennen, came out with a new tagline: “Do you smell like Teen Spirit?” Sales of the deodorant skyrocketed, and Mennen quickly expanded its line of Teen Spirit products six months after the song was released, Colgate-Palmolive bought the company for $670 million. In fact, the name of the song came from his apartment wall, where a friend had spray-painted “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But the song’s impact on the antiperspirant was undeniable. Kurt Cobain claimed he didn’t know Teen Spirit was a brand of deodorant when he wrote Nirvana’s 1991 grunge anthem. If that’s not proof Hussein tortured his own people, we don’t know what is.

The song was played alongside footage of the dictator kissing babies, shooting guns, and striking heroic poses on Iraq’s three TV stations continuously during the election season. To win the hearts and minds of Iraqis in 2002, Hussein boldly chose as his campaign anthem an Arabic cover of Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” (written by Dolly Parton). But there’s still pageantry involved, which Saddam Hussein took seriously. You might think winning elections is easy for dictators-after all, they aren’t running against anyone. "I Will Always Love You" // Whitney Houston In the end, Potter made $186,853.09-a number he could live with. So in February 2009, he sold it on eBay to Retro Fitness, a health club that felt the digits fit perfectly with its 1980s-nostalgia theme. Almost immediately, Potter was overwhelmed by the volume of calls.

In 2004, disc jockey Spencer Potter of Weehawken, New Jersey, discovered 867-5309 was available in his area code and picked it up, thinking it would be good for business. Ever since the song was released in 1982, crank callers have been dialing 867-5309 and asking for “Jenny.” People who are unfortunate enough to be assigned the number can look forward to dozens of prank calls a day, depending on where they live.Ī few people have managed to turn the digits to their advantage. "867-5309/Jenny" // Tommy Tutoneįor nearly three decades, this single has been a gift to smashed college kids everywhere. But he tolerates Mozart because it makes the microbes more efficient, saving the plant up to $1250 a month.
"It creates a certain resonance that stimulates the microbes and help them work better." Stucki doesn't even like opera he's a rock 'n' roll fan. "We think the secret is in the vibrations of the music, which penetrate everything-including the water, the sewage, and the cells," he says. Anton Stucki, the plant's chief operator, believes the reverberations quicken the pace for breaking down refuse.
A sewage treatment plant in Treuenbrietzen, Germany, has experimented with different operas, playing them at high volume through loudspeakers set up around the site. "The Magic Flute" // Mozartįor all the chatter about how Mozart makes your kids smarter (false!) or how it helps with the SATs (possibly), the one thing that Mozart definitely seems to do is make sludge-eating microbes digest faster. So, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the ultimate power playlist. They’ve saved lives, brought glory to America, and gotten teenagers to use deodorant. But the following tunes-some as old as Mozart, others as current as Beyonce?-have fundamentally altered the world we live in at some point in the last quarter century. In fact, a few could literally drive you nuts. They’re not the most beautiful songs, or the most musically important. By Jennifer Drapkin, Kevin O'Donnell and Ky Henderson
