Hi there, Shankar here, this week, we are bringing you an episode from the archives.
Maybe more than any other hidden brain episode, this one brings a smile to our faces.
And right now, that's something we can all use.
Here it is.
This is hidden brain.
I'm Shankar Vedantam.
When Sophie Scott was about six, she came across her parents doing something very strange.
They were rolling around, laughing.
In my memory, they were actually on the floor of the living room, absolutely overcome with laughter.
They'd laughed so much, they could literally do nothing else but laugh.
Oh, my God.
What had got them laughing was a.
Song, a comedy song, about what people were not supposed to do in toilets on trains.
It's set to quite a famous piece of music, and it kind of goes, customers will please refrain from passing water.
While the train is in the station.
Darling, I love you.
We encourage constipation while the train is in the station.
And as they remembered more and more of it, they got more and more helpless.
If you wish to pass some water, kindly call opponent.
Now, maybe you're thinking, wait, this song isn't that funny.
