Soundtrack Dependence Syndrome (aka S.D.S.) (noun) – The inability to feel the emotion of a moment without an appropriate accompanying piece of music.
Only shed tears when violin strings accompany two lovers reuniting? Only think to distrust someone when sinister chords play upon their arrival? Only feel like driving when “Black Betty” is playing on the radio?
You have Soundtrack Dependence Syndrome.
Do not lose hope. Admitting you have a problem is the first stage to recovery. Discuss your experiences with this debilitating disorder in the comments section below. Until then, mute those DVDs. Subtitles are your friend.

I broke myself of this terrible affliction by playing ‘N synch CD’s very loudly while I watch movies.
When ET is saying goodbye to Elliott: “Mmmmm… dirty POP!”
When Harry Meets Sally: “that’s no lie, Baby Bye Bye Bye!”
When Mouse tells Neo about about the woman in red: “It’s gonna be me!”
Man that broke me really fast. I also reccomend METALLICA OVER EVERY MOVIE EVER MADE.
