What I'm about to show you is going to rip you in half and then, subsequently, stomp you into a paste (that is if you happen to have been a fan of The Rolling Stones and especially of their song As Tears Go By which was done by the amazing Marianne Faithfull back in 1964 and then The Stones in 1965).

I hate you all so much.
