Song use

The track "Somebody Hurt You" was used in series 3, episode 1 of the BBC animation show Monkey Dust to link two different sketches in the show.[12] The juxtaposition of the light sounds of a song against the dark dystopian comedy of the program is a feature of Monkey Dust. The song "Heartache" was used in the Polish brothers' film For Lovers Only.

gollark: The Network pane tells me that it accesses `https://tio.run/cgi-bin/static/b666d85ff48692ae95f24a66f7612256-run/80b0beb0eead937c782d5036d9ec46ca`, but that doesn't explain why it does any of this madness.
gollark: Well, obviously that bit then calls into and uses values from other code.
gollark: But WHY?
