Has anyone noticed incidental music in public places that seems somewhat unusual?

It occurred to me that - while I'm completely immune to it by now - that some might consider it odd that our garden centre's muzak rotation includes a Black Sabbath Song.

Especially considering the demographic of our customers who are mostly older than Ozzy.

I remember a gym at an old client site playing Queens of the Stone Age's "Feelgood Hit of the Summer" which while admittedly upbeat, is not advocating a particularly healthy lifestyle.

I also walked into a WH Smith once just as Slayer's 'War Ensemble' blasted out over the tannoy, though that doesn't count as it was staff testing a tape that a customer said wasn't the right album - he was right.

biggrin

Whenever Muzak is mentioned "The Girl From Ipanema" always pops into my head, followed quickly by this scene.
