You and me both! That's why I go to stores with headphones on (if I'm by myself)!

i worked at a Thrifty drugstore mid-'80s. Same kinda stuff. Thought it was funny when the muzak version of Iggy/Bowie's "China Girl" came over the PA.

I'm so jealous of you and the other DJs! I was only born in 1995 so I didn't get to experience too much of this cool stuff.

I never thought you could make John Denver and Burt Bacharach MORE easy-listening, but Tape-A-Thon did it. You sweet bastards! :D

I worked briefly at K-Mart in 1998. By then, they'd roll out a little cart with the blue light and do the announcement over the telephone PA.

This song just makes me think of good ol' Jimmy Mitchell.

Only 8 bucks in 2024 money, although you'd probably get mini-chicken pieces these days.

This tape would be good background music at a dinner party.

Ooh, nice - i believe this is a classic Jobim bossa. "Wave," methinks?

Chicken Dinner, $2.99, children under 12, $1.99.

i know fried children are a buck cheaper, but I'd probably have the chicken.
