Explanation
This strip suggests that even a band with the most brilliant and catchy music would soon become the most hated band in the world if it included sound effects of car horns, cell phones, or alarm clocks in its songs. Listeners would mistake the sound effects for the real thing.
For comparison, "Indiana Wants Me", a 1970 hit single by R. Dean Taylor, had the sound of police sirens removed from later pressings because drivers were reportedly mistaking the sound effects for actual police cars and pulling over.
