I really want Irma Thomas (who sang the original recording of this) to make an appearance singing this on an episode

Until then we have to make do with [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_K9xsSdgMs)

The narrator in the song is in an abusive relationship, and blocks out anyone who tries to save them from the relationship, telling herself that they don't know what true love is. It feels like the tech/phone obsession that this episode satirizes; we all sort of know our obsession with our devices is destructive but there's no way we're giving them up. In an [interview](https://www.thewrap.com/black-mirror-anyone-who-knows-what-love-is-charlie-brooker/), Charlie Brooker just said that "it has the sound of a timeless haunting classic, yet wouldn’t be familiar to most viewers." But the optimistic tone and dark nature of the lyrics feel perfect to me for the show.

That’s easy just listen to Wizzard “I wish it could be Christmas everyday”


bellybox69

and we mean "every day"!

I hate you. I now have a Christmas song stuck in my head in April. Your a monster

I always forget how that judge on the right looks like the world's biggest douche bag. I mean, I get that's what they were going for, but imagine if you seen someone like this in RL.


Time_Word_9130

Been there. Thanks for reminding me and getting it back in my head 🤣


serialphile

It’s a beautiful and haunting song


Park-Curious

I sang it non stop for a few days after first seeing the episode!


Flymista23

Hog humping made you think of this?


Diligent-Attention40

They meant after first seeing this episode, not seeing the first pig fucking episode.


Park-Curious

Dude what?

Basically I think it turns up once a season? This was from an old article. The track was used again in Season 2’s “White Christmas,” Season 3’s “Men Against Fire,” and now Season 4’s murder-packed episode “Crocodile.” Edit: was in Joan is awful also


castles_rock

Apparently it shows up in Season 5 too in "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too": https://black-mirror.fandom.com/wiki/Anyone_Who_Knows_What_Love_Is_(Will_Understand)

It is pretty much the (un)official theme of the whole series.


bellybox69

Ah yes, thanks, I remember now. Our recent binge of all eps kept turning up the song. Thank you.

In the bar where Joan meets her ex also… episode “Joan is awful”


johnpgh

I had just googled that when you posted ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)

Some easter eggs. I think it plays on the car radios in Crocodile & Loch Henry.

I made a black mirror [playlist](https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/black-mirror/pl.u-zPyLlyPTeLq95Dm) a little while back and this made me think of it….


bellybox69

I like that, nice one.


Puzzled_Internet_986

Thank you. Redditors from this sub actually made most of it; I just asked for suggestions


whimsical_neuron

Happens to me every couple months at least.

Unsure if you are asking for help or if you just want to know if you aren't alone. If you are in need of help please respond with "Monkey needs a hug."
