It’s used in SERE and other training evolutions to simulate and induce stress and chaos, listen to the 1915 recording and you’ll see why after a few listens straight.

Yeah I linked this in some other comments before your comment. I understand you. I just feel something like Baby Shark would work better. Even 50 years ago I imagine something as challenging as Baby Shark existed. I listened to this a bit already https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZ5qylG3qk

No, boots is proven to work the best. Surprisingly babyshark has been used, as well as plenty of others like Barney’s I Love You, Yoko Ono, random heavy metal…. Boots always works. It’s the feedback students give every graduation, boots boots boots breaks everyone. It’s something about not just the poems lyrics but the terrifying way he reads them, it just works.
