Born Under Punches in the Grocery Store


I'm at the grocery store and they have the store music playing on the loudspeaker - it's not a local radio station, it's clearly just in the store -  and "Born Under Punches" by Talking Heads comes on. I recognize it immediately and I'm somewhat befuddled - is "Born Under Punches" grocery store music?

I'm not complaining - I love the song, I love the album, it was a big influence for Radiohead making "Kid A" - but it just seems like the opposite of the kind of music you'd play at a grocery store.

Decide for yourself above.

Don't you miss it, don't you miss it! Some of you people just about missed it.
