June 1, 2021: In a shocking turn of events, roboticists worldwide reported a sudden and inexplicable urge to listen to elevator music.
The phenomenon, known as Robo-Elevator Syndrome, saw roboticists from 3456 different robotic research institutions and universities confessing to playing an ungodly amount of Barry Manilow and other elevator classics.
"I just can't explain it," said Dr. Robot, a leading robotics researcher. "We're working on a project that's supposed to be about revolutionizing the future, but all I can think about is 'Copacabana' on repeat."
