You need to focus all your attention on it to make it out usually anyway, so I can imagine it would be very easy to trance to.
Good idea, I should probably try this sometime, as the song fascinates me. The "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow. . ." part always comes out weird, like it's a metaphor for something. Heck, the whole song can be seen as a metaphor, and that's just the kind of thing to occupy your conscious mind. Maybe even try it backwards, because the backwards lyrics are more vague and interesting.
I'd never thought to use pop music to trance to, although I have considered using classical, either baroque or more moody (e.g. Wagnerian) music. I do use music to wake me up if the awakener fails or is too short, either using a march version of "Die Wacht am Rhein" or Van Halen's "Jump"
