Title: Muzak is getting more interesting
Post by: buffcoat on April 10, 2013, 02:43:53 PM
I heard Can's "Vitamin C" in Noodles & Co. at lunch.

That's a far cry from endless loops of "Shannon" by Henry Gross and "Without You" by Harry Nilsson (moldy songs, even then) that I used to hear working in the grocery store of my youth.  I welcome this change.

On the other hand, I heard a muzak version of Walking on the Sun by Smash Mouth at Panera Bread.

That would be a good topic--songs that haunted work places of your youth.  In summer of '87, this old man worked full-time in a retail place that was only allowed to be tuned to 106.7 Lite-FM.  The first time I heard Los Lobos' "La Bamba", I thought it was a nice upbeat switch from the station's usual slower stuff (James Taylor, Streisand).  That didn't last long--they played that song about 3x an hour, every hour, all summer.  A  bad, bad summer.
