I heard a Muzak version of "Back on The Chain Gang" the day after Thanksgiving. I thought, "Now that's just wrong."

I asked a corollary of this question a while back and didn' get too many answers. What's the most bizarre NW/Alternative song you've heard a marching band perform? Mine was "Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes.

I heard a Muzak version of 'Alone Again Or' that the Damned covered in a Chicagoland Walgreen's pharmacy about 5 or 6 years ago. It cracked me up. The crazy thing is that it was pretty good...

Randy,I also once heard a muzak version of "Whole Lotta Love" from Zeppelin in Krogers. Not only did it suck but a cashier was jamming to it which added more humor to it.Where do they get this stuff ?
The one that blew me away was "Highway Star" from D

I had to revive this thread. Over the weekend I was at the market and heard the Cure's "Love Song". As I was walking around gathering my groceries, I was wondering if I was the only person in the store who knew the song.[:p]
