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

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.

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...

Morticia got me interested in lots of things

Gomez Addams: Querida, will you marry me?
Morticia Frump: I thought you'd never ask.
Gomez Addams: [kisses her hair] Oh, your hair... That dress - drives me wild!
Morticia Frump: I'll never wear another.

<sigh> True love!

Other day I walked past a shop and it was playing The Long & Winding Road

Currently watching the Senators/Panthers hockey game, and they just played "Back In The USSR"

I heard "I Saw Her Standing There" in a restaurant this afternoon. I was already happy after a good check up with the retina specialist and that added to it. I'm always glad when that's over for the year!

Went out for an early breakfast in Sydney this morning. Sat down at a cafe to the strains of Gimme Some Truth followed immediately by A Day in the Life.

A good omen for the day.

Today, in the Waycross, GA, Walmart, I heard "Do You Want To Know A Secret"

KelMar · « **Reply #157 on:** August 07, 2017, 04:39:27 AM »

All these months later I also heard a Beatles song in Walmart: Matchbox. But then when I got to the grocery store I heard I Saw Him Standing There. ~~I don't know if that was a real released recording or one of those cheap store songs but it's awful!~~ Oh, it was that 80's singer Tiffany. Still don't like it!

Went to see America last week - they were terrible

For some reason they sang Eleanor Rigby

I'm sorry to hear that Kev. Is it just the two remaining members now?
