Songs I heard at work

[Gary]

They actually played the original "Christmas Wrapping" (aka the best Christmas song ever) and I couldn't be happier.

 

[Valeyard]

Christmas music has been broken up by a disturbing influx of 2000s country. Sugarland made me hide in the bathroom.

 

[Gary]

They played the best version of Frosty the Snowman yesterday

 

[Valeyard]

This has grown on me rapidly and is just not-Christmas enough to make me hope it sticks around.

 

[Valeyard]

Holy shit. But why does it sound like "Cum On Feel The Noize" so much?

 

[Gary]

Hearing "In Your Arms", only for it to be followed by "Everything You Want" is such a stark contrast as far as sound and quality are concerned. I've also come to the conclusion that "Carribean Queen" is an alright song, and I don't know how to feel about "Roll With It"

 

[Gary]

You know what song I like? "Breathless" by The Coors. You know what song I don't like? "Learning to Fly" by Five for Fighting

 

[Fall of Epic]

I like that Coors song too. They should have been bigger.

Andrea Corr being Bono’s mistress is one of those things that seems like it would have helped but might have hurt their career prospects.

 

[Gary]

"I Get Weak" by Belinda Carlisle is great. That being, said, playing Vertical Horizon and then Gin Blossoms is not something I was asking for.

 

[Gary]

I've said this before, but I loathe "Smooth"

 

[Valeyard]

Jealous. We just get "Move" over and over.

 

[Gary]

1.) I’ve come to the conclusion that “Everywhere” is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song and that “Tango in the Night” is my favorite album of theirs.

2.) Hearing Jennifer Paige’s “Crush” reminds me that I’m the only person who really likes “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City”

 

[Gary]

Thought I heard Train today, but thankfully it wasn't. Unfortunately, I did hear "Hey There Delilah" (seriously, fuck that song) and "The Reason" on Monday.

 

[Gary]

I sometimes wonder if Lowes is the sole store in America that still plays Fergie.

Also, a reminder that you can comment on these songs or whatever songs you had to hear at work.

 

[Gary]

In stead of bitching about "Hey There Delilah" again, I'm just going to point out that "No More I Love Yous" is a pretty catchy song. Also, normally don't care for Lenny Kravitz but God Damn "It Ain't Over till it's Over" owns.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

We don't do music at work but wanted to chime in that "Breathless" by The Corrs is indeed fantastic. I feel like there should be more 90s female-centric song choices for in-store play though.

 

[Valeyard]

Olivia Rodrigo can step on nails. Fuck her, her driver's license, her exes she's stalking, and her constant whining.

 

[Gary]

Fun fact: it's impossible to not enjoy Goo Goo Dolls when their music is playing. As far as 90s lite alt rock is concerned, it's good stuff.

Also, "Breathe" by Dido ain't too bad.

 

[Valeyard]

I hear "Slide" once a day and it's aged well.

 

[Valeyard]

"This Kiss" by Faith Hill is unwelcome but gives a little nostalgia.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I’ve heard Toad The Wet Sprocket’s “Walk on the Ocean” twice in past three days. Once before trivia on Monday and on the adult alternative radio station playing in my Uber driver’s car last night. Which is bizarre cause I had maybe heard it once on my entire life before then.

 

[Valeyard]

My boss is the only sober person I have met that has "What's Up" as their favorite song. I've spent enough nights in karaoke bars to want Linda Perry and 4 Non Blondes not killed by but bitten by three dozen alligators.

 

[Valeyard]

Amy Grant can stop.

 

[Gary]

today in songs I heard that I enjoy

 

[Valeyard]

Billie Eilish is perfectly fine and people just wanna complain.

 

[Valeyard]

"Nothing But Flowers" is the absolute last Talking Heads song I expected to hear.

 

[BUTT]

Billie Eilish is perfectly fine and people just wanna complain.

I don’t enjoy her music much but I appreciate that all her songs are written by her and her loser brother. It’s refreshing to see a pop star who doesn’t rely on Max Martin or Anton Jackoff to give them hits.

 

[Gary]

"Secret" by Madonna is a jam.

"Nothing But Flowers" is the absolute last Talking Heads song I expected to hear.'

This makes me wonder if I should give post "Speaking in Tongues" another chance. I remember enjoying "Little Creatures" but finding "True Stories" and "Naked" to be hit and miss. Like that song though!

John Stewart’s “Gold” at the brewery before trivia.
