Where Did You Last Hear A Beatles Song?

[Normandie]

I just heard "No Reply" at Walmart, of all places. It was such a pleasant surprise -- I don't believe I've ever heard that song in public before. It was hard not to sing along, loudly!

COOL!

Surely, the end times are upon us.

I'm not sure I get your point, Jim.

Just a goofy remark. I don't expect to hear good music at Walmart.

[Normandie]

Oh, OK. I'm a little slow on the uptake today, I guess. 

[Klang]

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...

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.

Hey, Klang, further confirmation the end times are upon us...

I was in Walmart today, 10/30/16, and playing in the Garden Center of all things was The Ballad of John and Yoko!

It was quite an interesting juxtaposition to see all of the Christmas items on display and for sale while John is singing "Christ, you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be, the way things are going, they're gonna crucify me..."

It's getting curiouser and curiouser.

ha2ha Indeed!

When I walked into a food store  shopping this afternoon the song was In my life

I was just going to ask what it was but I see you've edited your post and answered my question already! It seems like the programmers who provide public music are digging a little bit deeper into the catalog lately. Great choice!

I was watching an animated film, Kubo and the Two Strings, with my two boys. A better than average animated film set in Japan. The end credit song was Regina Spector doing a shamisen version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.  Not a bad version either.

She does do a nice version. My daughter is a big Regina Spektor fan. I'm happy that she was able to go see a live performance a few months ago.

Regina Spektor's version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is very pretty...

It was Morticia Addams (Carolyn Jones) who got me interested in shamisen music...
