Like the B-side of Flipper – Sexbomb / Brainwash, “Brainwash” makes use of the lock-groove concept. The music stops at the end of the “story,” only to start up again. This process is repeated for a total of 12 times. The last repetition ends with the loop groove endlessly repeating the phrase “forget it, you wouldn’t understa— forget it, you wouldn’t understa—.”
