Oh, The Musical Kind Of iPod?
Oh, the OTHER kind of iPod - the music kind. Well, that's even easier to explain. The iPod is the first song people learn on the piano - it's a rudimentary waltz played with two fingers that start together and get further and further apart. Once the song wears on the nerves, it repeats. Its more popular than you'd expect, given how annoying it is.
I suppose people are attracted to the iPod's simplicity and how easy it is to learn.
Another easy-to-learn musical device is the Flea Waltz. But it's like a bad song you can't shake - singing in your ears all day. No amount of scratching can rid you of it.

Moxie, the iPod is NOT a song. That song you're talking about, that is CHOPSTICKS. CHOPSTICKS is either
(1) a racial slur against Asian kitties like me*, whose parents eat with elegant Chopsticks that Euro-trash consider clumsy. Using two fingers on the piano, instead of your whole hand, is supposed to resemble asian eating habits. (I wouldn't know, I eat whatever my little paws can splash water onto.)
*I'm a Bombay. Pictures of Bombays, almost as pretty as I, are at http://www.kittykondo.com/9.jpg. That's an Asian breed. But I'm also Asian because my owner named my Murasaki, after a 10th-century novelist in Japan. She was the first novelist ever in the world, and I think she ate with chopsticks.
OR
(2) Chopsticks is a musical slur against Pollocks. Frederick Chopin's real name was Chopinski, which sounds like chopsticks. He wrote classical music. But he didn't write chopsticks. I don't think.
GREAT! Now I've got that song stuck in my head! Thanks A LOT!
