Songs heard while shoppin'

Yesterday I heard...
Tracy Chapman, 'Fast Car' in a shopping centre,
Billy Joel, 'Uptown Girl' in a DIY store,
Craig David, 'Re-Rewind' and Dizzy Rascal, 'Bonkers', both in a computer store.

Probably the most unexpected one for me was "How to Disappear Completely" at Home Depot.

A very unexpected song to hear in a supermarket in the South East of England - Neil Young's 'Harvest Moon'.

An odd set of songs to hear one after the other:

'Miss You', The Rolling Stones
'The Man Who Sold The World', Lulu
'September', Earth, Wind & Fire
'Boys Don't Cry', The Cure

Filtered through the PA system of a store is probably the optimal way to hear miss you as it blows, particularly if you watch the video at the same time.

I wonder whose bright idea it was to remove the guitar riff from Lulu's version and replace it with a flatulent sax?

In a shopping centre on my way to the food court:

'Groove Is In The Heart' - Deee-Lite
'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' - Kylie Minogue

In an outdoor equipment store shortly after lunch:

'Stay Together' - Suede

I've just remembered, when I was in Lisbon, I went for a meal and the kinda hippyish waiter played all sorts of good music but I especially remember he played "Maggot Brain", which was cool.

I was visiting my sister in Scotland at the weekend and we were in her local pub in the village she lives in, on a busy Friday night, and "Maggot Brain" was played!

In the supermarket, Axl Rose's favourite Pet Shop Boys song, 'Being Boring'.

In Tesco's, while picking up my morning dose of mind-rotting energy drink: George Michael's 'Careless Whisper'.
In the Co-Op, while picking up my evening dose of mind-rotting energy drink (it's Friday, weekend gotta start somewhere): Kim Wilde's 'You Came'.

You can tell it's the Friday evening before a Bank Holiday weekend because the supermarket was rowdy and full of teenagers, including one 14 year old lad riding a bicycle down the aisle until I eyeballed him and then he was just wheeling it down the aisle. Soundtrack: Belinda Carlisle's 'Live Your Life Be Free' at even louder volume than normal.

my doc's office has generic muzak playing pop songs in maudlin solo piano form.

the funniest version I heard today was Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" performed if it was a funeral

Kate Bush, 'Babooshka'.

ABC, 'When Smokey Sings' ("when Smokey sings... I buy onions")

Surprised this morning to hear a deep track, "I Dream of Sleep", from last year's Sloan album. I guess it would have been more surprising if I were not in Canada.

Horrorpops, 'Walk Like A Zombie'

This kind of downbeat selection of Christmas tunes in a shopping centre:

Wings - 'Mull Of Kintyre'
Wham! - 'Last Christmas'
Alexandra Burke (UK X Factor 2008 winner) - 'Hallelujah'

Last Sunday at 2pm in the afternoon in the Co-Op: 'Broken Wings', Mister Mister
Last Sunday at 2pm in the afternoon in the Co-Op: 'Babooska', Kate Bush

This Sunday at 2pm in the afternoon in the Co-Op: 'Babooska', Kate Bush

This is an unlikely one. "Aren't You Glad", from "The Family That Plays Together" by Spirit, in an extremely un-hipsterish pub in Paisley. Also it's literally the only music that's
been played.

Day off work so I was in town - in particular eating lunch in a McDonald's in a shopping centre - and heard this startling selection back to back:

Madonna, 'Vogue'
Kate Nash, 'Foundations'
Robin S, 'Show Me Love'
Elle King, 'Ex's & Oh's'
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, 'Uptown Funk'
