Sumerian Gets the Aux Cord

WHEN YOU GIVE A sumerian PERSON THE AUX CORD

A man in a car recoils in shock while a strange ancient-looking humanoid sits beside him, presumably taking over the music through the aux cord. The joke is that the “Sumerian person” plays an intensely archaic-sounding song, Peter Pringle’s “The Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian,” turning an ordinary car ride into an absurd ancient-music experience. It works as a reaction meme for someone choosing bizarre, unexpectedly intense, or overly niche music.
