In Which I Share With You the Best Song that Played as I Grocery Shopped

Whole Foods, Dublin, OH:

The Smiths: How Soon is Now?

This was preceeded by Bill Ocean's Carribean Queen.

Weird segue.

how can you compare an artist who won Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for Caribbean Queen to some barely memorable band from Manchester that was around for only a few years an never amounted to anything

So many hits….Caribbean queen (no more love on the run), lover boy, suddenly, get out of my car, when the going gets tough…the song from romancing the Stone or was that eddy grant?

Anyways the guy was a hit making machine

Not sure who the other guys are

12/30

Giant: Cowboy Junkies-A Common Disaster
Whole Foods: Dr. Dog-Heartkiller

Honorable mention for Whole Foods: Me and Bobbie McGee. But it wasn't the preferred version.

First song heard at a grocery store in 2019:

Corey Hart-Sunglasses at Night

1/3 Whole Foods

Nice back to back of:

Lemonheads- Mrs. Robinson
Beach Boys-Good Vibrations

NYE - Quench (Beer store in Silver Spring)
Playing Bowie's Blackstar album as I purchased sparkling wine.

What I am
Eb and nb
Safeway kensington

1/6

Giant: The Grass Roots-Temptation Eyes
Whole Foods: Sharon Jones-not sure of song name. Also, I had to walk out without buying my bag of apples because every line was way too long except for the one where the old Indian lady is the cashier and she's really slow so nobody gets in her line. The 15 items or less express line was being clogged up by some shaved-side-hair-manbun-earring-shaggy-beard wearing douche with about 30 items.

God I hate people

Hey man, some of us come here just to read about the best songs people heard while grocery shopping. Can you please keep your commentary and grocery exploits out of this thread so we don't sully it? Perhaps we should make a The Best Song that Plated as I Grocery Shopped Commentary thread so we can stop living like savages.

I dunno…as the creator of the thread I'm just as interested in poster's editorials as I am their song selection. As the great Rick Springfield once sang….

We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it, the human touch
We all need the human touch
We all need it, and I need it too!

yikes…in this #metoo era…I'd watch out how you ask other bordies to touch you

The commentary is the best part of this thread

This really happened: I Still Haven't found what I'm Looking For on the PA at Home Depot in Parkville over the weekend as I wandered about not finding what I was looking for with no one around to help.

Followed by I can’t live with or without you and where the aisles have no name?

1/10 Giant

Feist-Mushaboom
AFOS-I Ran

1/11 H Street Whole Foods

REM-Man on the Moon
The Flips-She Don't Use Jelly


What's the deal with the three major OJ companies all reducing the size of their containers from 59 ozs to 52 ozs and keeping the price the same? What a scam. My response is to decrease portion size.

that is happening with everything at grocery store and is super annoying…its a way of raising prices without being obvious to most people…

1/14 Whole Foods

Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower
