boz scaggs is one of my top ten grocery store musical artists.

yesterday in a department store i heard:
funky cold medina (tone loc)
followed by
copperhead road (steve earle)
followed by
you give love a bad name (bon jovi)
followed by
i don't know because i left but i was braced for anything.

there was a likeable thin middle-aged sales clerk with a handlebar moustache and a glinting ear who became animated and sang a little during copperhead road but then sank into a lugubrious state when bon jovi commenced, i didn't see what he got up to during funky cold medina because he was lurking behind a rack of jackets. he struck me as someone who is skilled at looking busy, which is a talent i envy.

hah!

i heard somebody's watching me by rockwell while standing in line earlier tonight

i like this thread, dell.

Some song with the line "oh it was a shame about that tree, it was beautiful", and 'When I Ruled The World' by Coldplay, both performed by a busker with an acoustic guitar.

usually keep this positive but I'd been going to Starbucks to study for classes in the hour and a half I have between work and school, but lately they've been playing this CD of Barbra Streisand crooner songs and it's like aural terrorism. I feel so bad for the people working there.

I asked one of the baristas if they could turn it down a notch and she explained that the music is either so loud you can't ignore it or off, there's no volume control. Fucking horrible.

jeepers

fuck yeh, "Piano in the Dark" by Brenda Russell! !

little red corvette- prince

some song by sisters sledge about family or something?

i just called to say i love you--stevie wonder + the faux hoos who works at my local grocery store who i caught singing along when i changed aisles.

Had no idea who did the song before — was v much grooving to it at the time

'Party Rock Anthem' in HMV.

Skee Lo's "I Wish" in newsagent <3

"I wish I was a little bit taller... so I could reach the top shelf mags."

BEP's 'I Gotta Feeling', in the men's room of a shopping centre.

"afternoon delight"

there were maybe three customers in the supermarket. i felt nervous and tried to keep to empty aisles.

TLC's 'Creep' - haven't heard it for a while, it was a shopping mall staple from the 90's.

The Clash - 'I Fought The Law'

Donald Fagen- I.G.Y. @Walgreens

Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven
ELO- Sweet Talkin' Woman

& ran into an ILXor whose name rhymes with a famous Liverpool footballer

Jimmy "Jim Jam" Buffett- Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

don't recall music but this woman who is i guess a manager at the supermarket was singing "don't you know that crime is going up up up up"

i had to restrain myself from singing the next line

then she said something about coupons and looked at me and winked.

i guess she is a s~t~o~n~e~r? b/c back a couple yrs ago when i was an occasional Smoker a pack of rolling papers fell out of my wallet, and she was like "where do you get those? is there a store near here that sells them?"

harry chapin- taxi
isaac hayes- theme from shaft

lately rock the boat by the hues corporation is following me around everywhere. i guess that is simply god's way of impressing upon me that i need to buy a yacht.

some song by the strokes in a "HomeGoods" store

Love is the Answer- England Dan and John Ford Coley

never realized until looking this up on internet that it's actually a cover of a Todd Rundgren/Utopia song??

had just assumed it was simply the next logical step in Bahá'i rock given the times

Christina Aguilera, 'Beautiful'

And it was playing loudest in the men's room, so maybe the lyrics could have been change to "turds can't bring me down".

thought those were the lyrics???

in ~designer shoes warehouse~ that SNEAKER PIMPS song that was big in U.S.

The Korean lady in the Italian deli wax listening to some kind of German Schlager. Seems like it was "Papillon" by Nicole

Todd Rundgren- I Saw the Light

the cashier was singing along to that one. we don't have self-checkouts in this town. they don't trust us... i like it better this way tho

James, 'She's A Star' - first I thought it was by Suede, but then I remembered that the woman in the video is also in the video for 'She's In Fashion'.

Dan Fogelberg- Longer

biggest part of me- ambrosia
