Not talking music stores, because of course that's a whole different level - I thought of this thinking about music used in marketing/advertising but there is already a thread for that.


While shopping, most of the time you hear top hits, but sometimes stores switch the game up by playing some old shits, or at least not current songs.

Recall some.

I once heard Prince's Courtin' Time while at Jamba Juice.

I heard Tori Amos "Your Cloud" at a Sheetz Convenience Store one time.

^ get outta here! those are great examples. whoa

Human League "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"
George Clinton "Atomic Dog"

heard those at Old Navy

Red Lobster used to play U2's 'Crumbs From Your Table'; I think they somehow misunderstood the song's message. Nothing like eating a $30 lobster dinner to a song about abject African poverty

.

REM's The Great Beyond

"5 Women" by Prince. "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" by Todd Rundgren.

In a grocery store and a supermarket. Just local Finnish chains.

I've heard "When Doves Cry" and the Human Leagues "Only Human" many times.

where though

CinisterCee said:

Foot Locker, Kohl's, Stage-these stores seem to always be playing oldies stations that love Prince

I just have to add to this. Last time I went to Red Lobster, a couple of the tracks were bangin' :

Jackson 5 "The Love You Save"
Delfonics "La La Means I Love You"

Mazzy Star 'Fade Into You' at Piggly Wiggly

New Edition "Cool It Now" at Safeway

i've heard U2's "With or Without You" in Macy's

"Message in a Bottle" by The Police in KMart
that "Kiss Me" song (i don't remember the name of the girl who sings it,but it was in one of those movies about high schools, i think "All That" or something) but i heard this song in Kohl's.

"I Can't Wait" by NuShooz.....I wanna say Old Navy, but I'm not sure. I know it was a clothing store.
"Crush on You" by the Jets - In JC Penney

Detroit loves their Prince though.

This is true. I heard "Let's Pretend We're Married" unedited at a Gus Macker 3 on 3 basketball tournament in my hometown.

All these kids subliminally being told "I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth."

I'm getting into a dude named Baby Dayliner thanks to the Gap. I hear a lot of cool stuff there.

Heard the dirty version of Fergie's "Glamorous" @ the Apple Store in SoHo.

I was gekk'n @ the Genius Bar... people were staring at me.

Interesting, I wrote about a scenario like this some weeks ago.

While wandering around the local CVS pharmacy,...



...Ain't No Love - Paul Carrack came across the sound system.

Once heard 'Maxayn', does anyone know them?

WHERE!

the video store I frequent is staffed by hipsters, so I usually hear something pretty interesting when I pop in. I've heard Neu, Wire, Gang of Four...pretty much every act you can imagine a music snob playing. last weekend they were playing the Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime.
