[ WP ] In an effort to increase happiness , the World Government decrees that all citizens must break out in song and dance once a day

I hated those stupid megaphones. Nothing irritated me more than having a lovely quiet cup of tea at midday ruined by blaring music. You could n't escape them, either. The WG had installed them in every building. `` To promote happiness among the citizens of the world'', they claimed. Rubbish. Interrupting my day with a completely random song and forcing me to sing and dance does nothing for my happiness. At all. For years and years we've struggled against this ridiculous act of terror in disguise but the government never listens. It grates at my soul. The bitter irony of the upbeat cheerful music and the chorus of groans that echo throughout the earth at 12 noon every day pains me. I thought it would never end. 
 
 Until. 
 
 One day, as we all prepared for the devil's serenade, wondering what awful sound would berate our ears, 12 noon arrived. 
 
 And the music did n't. 
 
 Had it stopped? Had it really stopped! Had this maniacal torture finally ceased! Triumph surged through me as whoops of joy escaped my lips. But why? I had no explanation. I stood dumbstruck as I checked to see the date of this momentous occasion, no doubt to be read on news broadcasts everywhere. 
 
 April 1st. 
 
 Wait, what? NO, NO NO NO N- 
 The speakers interrupted my despair with a deafening intro as a young man's voice began to croon. 
 
 `` We're no strangers to looove...''
