Weird icon on music player.

I havd 2.2, but this wasn't an issue with that. I was listening to the music player when I half pulled the charger out, the phone went crazy like it does when you use a charger with too low power.

I unplugged and plugged back in, but now the player was playing a different song and the icon for shuffle had a globe symbol instead of the shuffle symbol.

What was that?
 
The globe symbol represents 'Party Shuffle' (a.k.a. Global Shuffle) which shuffles playback from your entire music collection rather than just the current album.

Tap the globe symbol again to cycle through the different shuffle modes. I'm thinking you just accidentally bumped the screen trying to get the power cord sorted out.

Definitely didn't bump the screen, because if I did, I would have had to in one bump...
1. open the music player back up
2. hit the back button to get to album screen
3. select an album (I was in all songs mode)
4. start playing it
5. put on party shuffle mode.
