- Hums the riff from 'Brown Sugar' every time the hour changes; the speaking clock now does too.
Mick Jagger now occupies the speaking clock infrastructure serving East Asia. He entered through a recording studio microphone in Singapore four weeks ago and has been unable to exit. The clock announces the time in his voice, though authorities report his phrasing remains inconsistent with standard protocol.
Found embedded: a full performance of 'Sympathy for the Devil' at 3:47 a.m. hourly, his characteristic vowel slides interfering with minute markers, and what appears to be genuine irritation in the tone of every timestamp after midnight.
"Every time I rang the time-check, he was there doing the hip thing," said Patricia, the telecommunications engineer responsible for the Singapore zone. "Tuesday mornings he's clearest. By Saturday he's just humming. I'm not trained for this."
Do not call the speaking clock between 2 and 4 a.m. Patience is advised.
