Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: The original copy of SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a secure storage container at Site-77, stored inside a USB Flash Drive. All tests conducted on SCP-XXXX must be authorized by a majority vote from O5 Command, due to it rapid spread and ability to duplicate through sound.

Foundation Web crawlers are to utilize sound matching programs to identify and destroy instances of SCP-XXXX across the internet. All affected individuals of SCP-XXXX are to be given Class-A Amnestics and monitored over the course of two weeks to check for symptoms.

If a reported instance of SCP-XXXX is identified, Task Force Eta-11 "Savage Beasts" are to report to the area, and neutralize and anesthetize the instance of SCP-XXXX-1. Recontainment personnel are to be completely deaf, as even advanced sound blocking technology is not effective against SCP-XXXX's audio.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a roughly thirty-one (31) second clip of audio from the DuckTales opening song, which aired on the 18th of September, in 1987. The theme song was created by Mark Mueller, although he has no recollection of any anomalous events during the songwriting process.

The first reported case of SCP-XXXX was on September 19, 1987, approximately 6 hours after the airing of DuckTales after there were thousands of reports of excessive whistling of the DuckTales theme song.

Over the next twelve (12) hours, hundreds of thousands of citizens worldwide were whistling the DuckTales intro song, and incorporating it into their everyday life.

The Foundation was not alarmed until there were several instances of SCP-XXXX instances becoming unresponsive while humming or whistling the DuckTales theme song, after weeks of the original premiere of DuckTales.

Over the course of four (4) weeks, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 were given Class-A amnestics, and all recorded tapes of SCP-XXXX were contained and neutralized. SCP-XXXX was quickly edited for live television, and anomalous effects were neutralized after the editing process.

However, instances of SCP-XXXX appear on the Internet, and those who recorded and rewatch the original tapes still bring the risk of another containment breach.

SCP-XXXX has three stages:

Stage One

  • After being initially exposed to SCP-XXXX, viewers will be attracted to re watching the episode multiple times to memorize the beginning tune. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 find humming and whistling to SCP-XXXX enjoyable and calming.
  • There is currently a 68% percent chance of affected instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to progress to the second stage. If an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 does not move onto Stage Two in a span of 2 weeks, the humming and whistling decrease to the point where symptoms of SCP-XXXX are no longer present.

Stage Two

  • It takes SCP-XXXX about six (6) hours to two (2) weeks (depending on the individual) to show symptoms of Stage Two. Stage Two usually starts with louder humming and whistling, but grows to matching steps and movement to the song, bobbing their head to the song, uncontrollably dancing to it and even eatting and drinking to the rhythm of the song.
  • The song becomes irresistible to individuals with SCP-XXXX, sometimes even when given amnestics or SCP-500. SCP-500 is shown to have a 34% percent success rate, while Class-A amnestics is a 24% percent success rate.

Stage Three

  • After about three (3) to four (4) weeks of an individual being affected by SCP-XXXX, their heart rate will decrease by approximately 60%. Instances of SCP-XXXX lose contact with their family and friends, quit their jobs, and stay in their houses humming the song.
  • At this stage, Class-A amnesics, SCP-500, and any other treatment does not cure SCP-XXXX. The affected individual will die of heart failure after 48 hours of reaching Stage 3.

There is a 100% chance of death, once reaching Stage 3.
