How To Keep Your Music Playlist From Embarrassing You

(SOUNDBITE OF TOTO SONG, "AFRICA")

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Confession - I love the band Toto. But every time I plugged in my phone in the car, this would start playing because "Africa" was first alphabetically in my library. And my friends would judge. Well, now someone has solved this, releasing a song called "A A A A A Very Good Song." Alphabetically, it plays first. And it sounds like this - silence. So you have time to pick the right song and not offend your friends. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
