This is from the soundtrack to 1984, so none of this may make sense :)
Basically everything except the "doubleplusgood" chorus is read by the voice of the telescreens in the film. It's meant to be emblematic of the Party's conditioning.
Or. Something.
Newspeak coming out of the mouth of Annie Lennox has never been so sexy. I had read the book in High School, saw the film (I graduated in 1984), and even to this day, I use "doubleplusgood" as often as "cool".
very scary to see how this (and the book) apply to the situation in America now :\
