The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Pennywise, "30-Seconds Till the End of the World" from Short Music for Short People (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Why? Why would you title a song "30-Seconds Till to the End of the World"? "30-seconds" doesn't make the slightest bit of sense unless it is a bizarre way of describing the fraction 30/2, commonly known as fifteen. But the song is thirty seconds long, and the lyrics make clear reference to a thirty-second countdown to the end of the world, alluding in no way to a fractional quantity of anything. *grumble grumble* I have no issue with "till" except for its vast inferiority to 'til. If only 'twas "30 Seconds 'Til the End of the World."
