Far from just a gimmick, the track has a purpose. “A a a a a Very Good Song” is designed to solve a problem experienced by anyone whose plugged their phone with into their car and fired up iTunes. Blaring from the speakers comes the first song alphabetically stored in the app. Purchase “A a a a a Very Good Song” and the first song becomes silence, giving you time to pick what you want to hear.Both the media and the general public love it.
