Cher's 'Believe' Now Faintly Audible Everywhere In America

GREAT SALT LAKE DESERT, UT—Building upon its presence in every health club, supermarket, bank, clothing store and waiting room in the U.S., Cher’s “Believe” was heard Monday by bauxite miners working 1.4 miles beneath the Earth’s surface in a remote section of the Great Salt Lake Desert, confirming suspicions that the hit dance track is at least faintly audible everywhere in the nation. “My miners said they heard a throbbing synthesizer sound, accompanied by some sort of painful, piercing wail, coming through the granite walls at the bottom of the shaft,” said Wilson Mining Works foreman George Connerly. “So we turned off the turbine-powered pressure drills to get a better listen, and, sure enough, it was that Cher song.” The ubiquitous “Believe” was also recently heard at the peak of Alaska’s Mt. McKinley, in the farthest reaches of Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave, and in the middle of a swamp deep within the Florida Everglades.
