Consult your spellbook.

Oh, of course! You're a witch. Whenever you're faced with a problem, you want to start by looking for a spell! There's probably a Thank-Aliens spell in here somewhere... ah, here it is! The incantation is "Hatto Hobell" and...

Whoops. That seems to be the wrong spell. Your spellbook flies out of your hands and attaches itself to your face.

Well, this is embarrassing. You can't thank those aliens properly with a spellbook on your face! Maybe you can get that nice skeleton president to help you. If only you knew his phone number.

You are now a horse detective. Your current actions are not part of the mental adventure "Hatto Hobell". However, that phrase is nevertheless of crucial importance to your current case.

You have not yet suffered the injury that will inspire you to have your legs replaced with hoverjets. Rather, this is your first case, and it's a strange one. For the victim is a song: a pop song identified to you only as "Hatto Hobell".

You have never heard of this song, which is strange as you thought you were reasonably well-versed in popular culture. Your detective instincts suggest that perhaps the song's death is affecting your memory of it, though you cannot actually prove this with the evidence you have at the moment.

You are likewise currently unable to prove the identity of the pop song that committed the murder. But you have determined the method of death. "Hatto Hobell" was receiving suggestions from strange otherworldly voices, a well-documented experience in this world. However, it seems that Hatto's experience was different from that of other beings: they were compelled to follow all the suggestions they received and, when given conflicting suggestions, they were driven insane and ultimately to end their own life.

And so your task is clear: you must identify and bring to justice the otherworldly voices who caused the tragic death of what you're sure was a beautiful song and not annoyingly overplayed at all. The first step is working out what the fatal suggestions in question were.

So what were they?
