These periodical cicadas go more than a decade living underground feeding on the sap of tree roots, only to emerge en mass to partake in a massive jam session\/rave\/orgy. Different years feature different broods emerging in different areas and composed of at least 1 of the 4 different 13-year cicada species (leading to some interesting questions regarding what&#8217;s a brood and what&#8217;s a species when there is hypothetically little gene transfer between broods). On top of the 13-year cicadas, there are 3 species of 17-year cicada, of which brood I is expected to emerge next year.<\/p>\n<p>These insects with prime emergences serve as the undivisible subjects of a song which some might consider a little odd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"510\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kdrO_EDjqzE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This song was actually the inspiration for the Tuesday Tunes feature and was the first song I added to my playlist.
