I passed a Muzak Corporation van on the way to work today. I had to wonder if the driver gets a little rebellious from time to time and pops in a little Ray Conniff![:D]

I was surprised to hear "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses recently in a resturaunt. That song is rare to hear even around Christmas time.

In a supermarket, I once heard a muzak version of Big Audio Dynamite's "V Thirteen." I remain astonished to this day.

Are we using Muzak 2 ways here?

1--Instrumental versions of New Wave songs.
2--The actual song itself being played over Muzak in stores/restaurants.
