People Do Not Listen To Lyrics: A Case Study

Recently I was out Christmas shopping, trying to find a suitable present for my neice. In the local shopping centre there’s a dedicated toy shop – not that “Smyth’s” thing but some other company.

Anyway, after about three minutes of wandering around, with the only sound just being background chatter from everyone around me, a member of staff put on the in-store background music that was meant to be playing.

This was the very first track. I am not joking.

I swear I heard one of the mums absent-mindedly hum along to the chorus.

…Do any of your readers have tales of completely inappropiate music being played in public settings?
