I just heard "Something" when I stopped at the store on my way home for lunch. It was just like a few weeks ago when I was shopping and heard "Here Today" from The Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds" album. (Which surprised the heck out of me!) I looked at the people around me and wondered if any of them were as pleased as I was by what they were hearing or if it was just going in one ear and out the other.

This past Thursday, May 29th, Here Comes the Sun (the Beatles version) was playing in a Thai restaurant where I was having lunch with some of my co-workers (Jesup, GA).

Over this past weekend, while channel surfing at home, I paused at a movie I have never seen before (I Know What You Did Last Summer) and a cover version of Hey Bulldog (???!!!) was playing in the background of the scene.

Today, June 3, I heard No More Lonely Nights (Macca's version) playing in a grocery store (Waycross, GA).

The mall I walk through to get to and from work plays background mall instrumental music. And they've done a few Beatle tunes lately. I've heard Norwegian Wood and Julia. And there's this guy who plays saxophone outside of the mall for money. I heard him playing the tune of Can't Buy Me Love recently! It was pretty neat, and unique.

My 18-y/o daughter and I were traveling toward a vacation destination in Florida, USA when we passed by a street named "Penny Lane".  Guess what song was playing on the radio at that same moment in time? Nope, not Penny Lane but its flip-side - Strawberry Fields Forever!  We were both ecstatic over that bit of serendipitous timing.

  Been having a discussion regarding Beatles mono vs stereo, so I did a solid mono cd listening test again. Although I do appreciate the 2009 mono CDs, I still refer back to the 2009 stereo CD’s.

  Part of the discussions was the major flaw of the older stereo recordings with vocals on 1 channel and most of the instruments on the other. I came to the conclusion that if I wasn’t trying to hard to listen to the vocals, it really didn’t bother me, as I still preferred the overall separation in the stereo recordings overall.  This test was done with my headphones.  I find it’s even less noticeable with a home stereo, unless I was sitting too close to 1 of the speakers only.

My 2 cents only.... And did I mention, I was listening to the Beatles.  ;D

I'm fooled every time and I'm let down every time, thinking it's going to be something about The Beatles. Other than that I heard Here Comes The Sun whilst walking by a shop the other day.

Don't worry about it. My goofiness can be more than a bit vague at times.

But back to the topic at hand, I haven't actually been to a Walmart for over 7 years, so what do I know about what they're playing?

Interestingly, I recently happened upon a link to a bunch of old Kmart store audio that an employee digitized and put online...

https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppers (https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppers)

I downloaded a couple of these and it's pretty nostalgic. And you know, they actually played some pretty decent tunes from that time between their little announcements. Cute.

I heard "I Feel Fine" in the car yesterday after an annoying run-in with someone. Those harmonies—not just in this song, in many of them—never fail to make my heart soar.

Also, a couple of weeks ago my friends were having coffee in a coffee shop that's part of a supermarket. Over the sound of the TV news playing in the background and  the shriek of the baristas' machines and the drive-thru chatter, I heard "Love Me Do" playing over the supermarket's PA system. (None of my friends seemed to notice. Darn.) I was thinking that everyone here likely has a sensitive "Beatles ear" that picks up on their music even in the presence of competing sounds.  :)

Yes, Kathy, that’s been my experience. There’s a restaurant just outside of town that’s quite large with high ceilings. The acoustics are terrible. When it’s busy it can be be hard to hear the conversation if there’s more than four people at the table. Once I thought I heard something familiar and by George it was George!

Revolution or Helter Skelter work well as alarms also. Not pleasant. But effective.

Either of those, especially Helter Skelter, would sure as heck have me leaping out of bed.  ha2ha

This would make a good thread: What Beatles song would you prefer to use as a wake-up alarm? Or something along those lines.

Hmm I don’t really set songs as alarms very often.  I tend  to take whatever the phone gives me.  I did for a while have George’s Marwa Blues as that’s a gentle instrumental.

Maybe Eight Days a Week would be a good one.  The way it fades up.

Same here.

I work such odd hours, and have to correspond with people in such various time zones, that I rarely even use an alarm. But when I do I tend to go with a gentle-sounding ringtone. At my age, raucous music suddenly blasting out tends to prompt heart palpitations.

I, too, was much more robust as a youth.  I remember using those old clock radio alarms. Anything from the  news to hard rock could suddenly pull you from sleep.

It also serves as my ringtone for calls, if I have my ringer on, typically I do not unless I absolutely am expecting a call I cannot miss

Also, a couple of weeks ago my friends were having coffee in a coffee shop that's part of a supermarket. Over the sound of the TV news playing in the background and  the shriek of the baristas' machines and the drive-thru chatter, I heard "Love Me Do" playing over the supermarket's PA system.

This just happened again!  ha2ha Just got home. I heard "She Loves You" playing in the supermarket section. Nobody but me seemed to notice. Those Beatles harmonies just jump right at us fans, though.

Yes I almost never have an audible call signal now. 90% of calls I get now are spam anyway. Everyone texts.

Kelley, you should magically beam yourself to North Dakota one of these Fridays (because, you know, it's just that easy  ;D ), and then I'll have a Beatle comrade who will notice these songs, too.

Same here. Virtually all of my communication is by email or text. And I keep my phone muted nearly all the time anyway, because if a particular topic comes up in one of my text groups my phone starts blowing up, and it's hard to concentrate on work.

Hey Kelley.  Imagine having this living alarm sound...

Their first US top-ten hit back in early 1982.

A great band and vocalist.  Huey Lewis and The News could easily perform the song live...

That would certainly be a change of pace! But I think I’ve mentioned that I did have a live alarm, my mom. She had a repertoire that included “Lazy Mary, Will You Get Up?” Irving Berlin’s “ Oh How I Hate to Get up in the Morning” and my favorite…

I've always like their music, too, and I agree; their music is fun. It brings back so many fond memories from the 80s.

I hadn't known he did a cameo in The Blacklist or in Back to the Future.

Ahh, Reveille—brilliant choice! That never occurred to me. (I wasn't a WAVE, of course.) I used an air horn with my three. They were not happy. I had to use it only once, and after that the threat worked.  ha2ha

My mom sang the Irving Berlin song to me when I was a kid.

Now, in keeping with this topic of discussion, if I had a more complicated clock radio which enabled me to have a specific wake-up alarm, I would have this Beatles song to wake me up...

This week it was "Get Back." I'm wondering whether the supermarket's chosen playlist must include the Beatles at a certain point in the lineup. Seems remarkably consistent.
