I went up to the DJ station and was surprised to learn it was called &#8220;Elephant&#8221; by Tame Impala. Wouldn&#8217;t have gotten that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a pretty tune for drowning out stuff that isn&#8217;t good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tame Impala is an Australian&nbsp;act that&#8217;s primarily one guy, Kevin Parker.
