This past autumn, my partner and I were in a suburban strip mall restaurant where they played this song three times in a row. I thought we had died out on the highway and were stuck in purgatory.

22At least it wasn't the Social Distortion version on repeat.
I'd rather be throwing darts.

24I'm currently relying on a local pub to charge electrical things and what not, which means I have little choice but to be sat there while doing this.
Christ, the music. It's this largely 90s, occasionally Manchester-leaning loop, and it manages to wreck even the odd good song by dint of the waste surrounding it.
The really frustrating thing is, once in a while, this is replaced by a well-curated dub selection that's so out of place I wonder if my subconscious is sending it to my ears as defence.

25That reminds me: in 7th grade there was a bus driver who played the same mix tape of early REM songs every day. Maybe why I never fully got into them: I probably subconsciously smell burning diesel anytime Talk About the Passion comes on.elisha wiesner wrote: Fri Jun 03, 2022 8:56 pm They had one 90 minute mix tape on repeat.

26A friend of mine worked for a while as a bartender and came to hate this song too. I love it, but I haven’t had to endure it coming up on a jukebox twenty times a night.Charlie D wrote: Fri Jun 03, 2022 10:04 pmThis past autumn, my partner and I were in a suburban strip mall restaurant where they played this song three times in a row.

27Yeah, it's a perfectly good classic country song. Unfortunately no perfectly good song's appreciation can survive a combination of being overplayed and being associated with knuckle draggers. Fortunately I've had Johnny Cash mostly to myself for some years so I can still enjoy the hits on the sparse occasion.

28I spent a night in a small town jail that was four small cells and a desk for the jailer. It was just me and him. He fell asleep with the radio on around 2:00 AM. It was tuned to a hot hits station, and I heard Spin Doctors "Two Princes", REM "Man On The Moon", and Duran Duran "Ordinary World" twice an hour for about 9 hours straight. Not that I'd spend any time listening to those songs anyway, but HOLY SHIT I still have a visceral reaction in my gut when I hear even just the first few bars of any of them.
