Obscure Singles Heard at CVS

that is amazing, i don't think i have ever heard that song out in the wild before.

Not at all obscure, but as I stepped on the stair machine at a local gym where the majority of my gym mates are black women, "Brown Sugar" by the Stones was playing.

gay people love to tell you what song from 2002 was playing at CVS

god "brown sugar" reeeeeally needs to disappear

might beat my all time worst gym playlist experience with "Tears in Heaven"

I would be tempted to use weights as a discus to throw at someone's head if I heard that Clapton while working out

The first three lines from Modern Love hit pretty hard when heard in a Lowe‘s

Playing just now at the Home Depot - Charlotte Sometimes (?!)

Us3: "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" at Fuddruckers

wait

why are you at Fuddruckers

Because it was there.

(FWIW, it wasn't my pick, and based on today I probably won't be back soon.)

probably have not eaten at a Fuddruckers since 1999 or so, but i have fond memories of the steak fries and especially the shakes. bear in mind i was a teenager at the time so my palate was not super sophisticated even when it came to evaluating fries and shakes.

I spent just about every Saturday night with my folks b/w 1984 and 1990 at Fuddruckers.

the Fuddruckers near me now is basically you walk up to a kiosk and put in your order electronically, you can see some of the people making your burger but it wasn't like that big clear glass window most Fuddruckers had in the 80s. and you can order like Bison burger and shit now

It def feels like a heavy piece of 1980s culture that somehow has persisted as an actual place instead of a meme.

their milkshakes were legit good!

Oh, I loved it as a kid. I can still smell that smell

Their hot dog bread was the most...generous I'd ever seen. I'm sure it had more calories by itself than the side o' beef on display behind the glass.

I have a Berenstein Bears moment any time someone brings up Fuddruckers, since my family's eating establishment of choice on vacations was Fudpucker's.

Such a ridiculous question. I’m vaccinated and when I walk into a grocery store or CVS, I still wear a mask out of respect to my fellow citizen. I also walk into both mostly to hear my songs but that’s another topic. https://t.co/SVKnalkk1q

Funny guy (and not just “for a musician”)

I like Marx

Walk of Life is, at minimum, a top three grocery store song. https://t.co/mkpQkaAj5H

Dire Straits are fine, but this is a hard disagree for me

Just because BOSE salesmen used CDs of both bands to showcase their speakers doesn't mean that the two bands are in any way equal to each other.

One unique way they are related is that I was first exposed to a ton of their album tracks on store and restaurant Muzaks.

i heard a good one just yesterday in the grocery store but i've already forgotten what it was

i remember now! it was "shine" by years & years... which i know was a big hit in the uk, but i live in the states so i was v surprised to hear it in the wild like that

how can someone even enjoy music if they think “walk of life” is a top 3 anything

dedication, devotion

I dunno, hearing "Walk of Life" in a really bleak Costco in rural Indiana while scanning the bread might just make my day.

“Walk of Life” was playing in the grocery store earlier, and I was enjoying it so much I felt a flash of annoyance when someone cut through on the PA to make an announcement.

I wish it were obscure!

I feel like Byrne would appreciate that.

True story.

While pumping gas at a Holiday station in rural upper Michigan today I heard Alphabet Street and Electric Avenue back to back which felt very out of place and amazing simultaneously

Relevant...

Huge riffs in unexpected places: When I was walking into @LiveCasinoPHL around noon today, "Rock Bottom" by @UFO_rockband came over the sound system! A few hours later they played "Gypsy" by @uriah_heep!

Almost made losing that huge pot with top two against middle set worth it.

L'Trimm - "Cars That Go Boom" at the garden center

Lately I feel like I have heard the Kurt Vile version of Box of Rain in grocery stores at least a couple times.

I’m a bar/restaurant where I just heard 311 “Down” for the first time in about two decades, and I can report that it still slaps

yesterday I walked past Five Guys in Cambridge, they were playing Jimmy Olsen's Blues by the Spin Doctors, then they played a song I didn't know but which was identifiably by The Nation of Ulysses.

Five Guys is usually pretty good for eclectic Rock muzak.

i heard "The Sound" at Vons the other day, i don't think i have heard any 1975's songs in the wild before.

Yeah, I heard "Kick out the Jams" at a Five Guys once.

I realized what it was before noticing if the "motherfucker" was included but my bet is it was not.

ALL THE WAY receives only toppings in black, Motherfucker
