In 2001 an aspie called Bill Gates made a deal with a fellow aspie, David Byrne, to include the song "Like Humans Do" in all copies of Windows XP sold worldwide. The song comes from Byrne's album "Look Into The Eyeball" which is likely a reference to our eye contact issues. The NTs think the song is about the way "we humans" are, but the lyrics never actually say "we humans", in fact, if you are an aspie you will notice how the song talks about "them, humans" and talks about doing the same things the "humans do", or shall I say "NTs do".
The song has probably been heard by hundreds of millions of humans around the world, but maybe Gates and Byrne were trying to send us a message only aspies would understand, maybe the revolution is about to start...
If you are on XP you can hear the song right now on Media Player. Here are the Lyrics:
Like Humans Do
For millions of years, In millions of homes
A man loved a woman, A child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
I work & I sleep & I dance & I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin & I'm lovin myself
We're eatin off plates & and we kiss with our tongue
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip Inside this funky house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin in on a woman & a man
I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
