Worst song played at your job

[Digitalosophy]

Right now Dancing Queen is blasting through the speakers at my job. I don't think I have to say anything else.

What's the worst song played at your job?

[shane-c]

I used to work in a lab that studied birds at the university here, and this guy would bring in the worst music every day. Some notable gems were the "Brother Bear" soundtrack (Phil Collins pretending to be Native American... yeah.), and I also used to have to listen to that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" song about 3 times a day.

[Digitalosophy]

^ lol

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" gets played here a lot too. I usually sing my own version based off the wedding singer movie.

People do not typically listen to music where i work. It's a cubicle farm. Luckily I have a quadrant of four cubicles all to myself. I can listen to whatever I want without bothering anyone.

[Digitalosophy]

A cubicle farm lol. Fester where do you work and what do you do for a living? Besides killing people of course.

[RabBell]

lucky people with music, same situation as fester with the cubicles but mostly it's everyone listening to their iPods

I did used to work in a jewellers though when I was at college and we had to play this Christmas CD over and over again. By the end of Christmas I could sing every song on the cd in the order they were on the cd

[lunatic]

There are 3 of us in my dept sharing a room (it's an odd office - space wise). We usually listen to NPR because its fairly neutral but when it gets too depressing we switch to radio or my ipod. However for awhile my supervisor was playing the soundtrack to "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and singing along. :sigh: (and where is the 'canthear' equivalent to --> :cantlook: )?

The only song I hear at work that I don't listen to voluntarily is the Star Spangled Banner, and I'm not about to complain about that, ever! I have worked at some places that were awful as far as music selection went. Value City had the same muzak channel as Denny's and every other 3rd rate dept. store, MCI had constant blasting hip hop, and a screenprinting place I worked at had a manager who listened to nothing but 50 Cent and newer garbage rap.
Now I sit here all day and listen to Haujobb, :Wumpscut:, Velvet Acid Christ and Ministry. :krazy:

[Templarian]

We use headphones but I take my lunch the opposite time as my boss and the other guy so I can use speakers for an hour a day.

*goes off to listen to total eclipse of the heart*

I work for a company that manufactures boring but important stuff for commercial electronics. I am pretty much the web/graphics/IT guy.

I have to wear a sales hat every now and again for trade shows and whatnot. But as you can probably safely assume, I am not very customer service oriented. :lol:

[shane-c]

^ Sounds pretty much like what I do, only switch "commercial electronics" with "medical equipment".

[ajcates]

Hmm the worst song I have heard in my room(since I don't have an office) is the Mexican music that plays non stop really loud at my neighbors house, its cool tho, they have to listen to my music all day and night.


edit: just as I post this, Chica Me Tipo by Sublime comes, and its an all mexican song.

[Digitalosophy]

The Reason by Hobbaskank is currently blasting through the airwaves.

omg seriously I'm going to lose it today.

[lunatic]

Have a RedBull :lol:

That kind lol. Big time..

[ditt0]

I used to work a few years back at a company where the boss would play all day long Sabrina, Samantha Fox, New kids on the block and all that junk. That's the stuff that my mind revolted against the most.

[DanontheMoon]

I'd have tossed him off a balcony. :smirk:

[graylensman]

Currently it's iPod for me, so that's cool. I once worked at a so-called amusement park as a cartoonist, and was subjected to stuff even worse than "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Just godawful carnival sounding stuff. Ecch.

[DanontheMoon]

Carnies freak me out.

[fester8542]

:lol:
Carnies....

[leisuresuitlissy]

Pop that Coochie!

Oh wait. That's the best song.

At least you can crop dust and not offend anyone then.

Its all Ipods here music playing out loud isn't allowed. Crapper is the only place you can hear music.

[t0mm0]

At Christmas work plays Hi-5 Christmas. We have hidden the cd, they keep buying more.

I eat over 200 grams of protein a day. I don't crop dust, I set off thermonuclear explosions.

[hybrid101]

no job. haha. but the weirdest i've heard/worst was living in the sunlight loving in the moonlight by tiny tim.
or most of the cheesy love songs played on my classmate's iPod:P

I like the phrase "cubicle farm". Never heard that one before. I don't listen to music at my work place either.

[pablo 2006]

I think the most inappropriate music I’ve heard was during a funeral, the 'ashes to ashes' bit had just been said when some house wife drove past with the windows down, blaring out 'wake me up before you go go' by wham. I almost fell in the grave laughing. Outrageous timing.

Apart from that, i'd have to say anything sung by Noddie bloody Holder at christmas.

[nobody]

I'm working at Viacom right now so basically whatever crap is on MTV at the time is playing in the lobbies.

[TheCanadian]

That song by Reba. In fact, all of the songs by Reba. I had to listen to an entire Harry Nielson CD (of Put the Lime in the Coconut fame). There used to be a lot of crappy country playing too. Now I can listen to whatever I want.

[Templarian]

^Thats far worse than me.

The guy I use to work with listened to punk, not the kind that kinda sounds like rock either. It was horrible.

[ecksit]

rihanna - umbrella

I actually liked the song before, but it plays 50+ a day when I work, so I'm SO sick of it now

[fasterthanlight™]

When i used to work at a grocery store, they always played "I can't wait" by New Shooz (I think thats how they spelled it)

[pablo 2006]

^ You have my deepest sympathies, I can imagine the effects after a full day of that :stare:

[skrolikowski]

I gotta hear that STUPID Seal song whenever I show up for work. I'd rather listen to a seal committing suicide.

[Digitalosophy]

lol when i worked for mtv i had to hear all the crap they had on the tv station all day long. i'll never forget meeting that pompous ahole carson daley. the guy had like 4 groupies around him, thinking he was all cool with his ski-slope haircut.

what viacom company are you stationed at right now?

[fasterthanlight™]

the EZ-listening softrock remix of Bill Withers - Give Me The Beat Boys

ugh

[pablo 2006]

^ A taxi drove past me today, the driver was playing this one, urgh :crying:

... to make matters worse, the next taxi driver was playing 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua. Is there a violently vomiting emoticon on this forum?

Blarrrgh...

[paddy.]

I'm in charge of the music in my office so I don't have to listen to anything I don't like.

Yesterday we had the Bar-Kays and Sly And The Family Stone on the go most of the day. It was great. :P

[Phenex]

Man this dude at the office keeps playing really sucky stuff by Led Zeppelin all day long. Can't ****in stand it for a minute! Non-sense weak arse cult pricks!

[bigbetter]

Right now Dancing Queen is blasting through the speakers at my job. I don't think I have to say anything else.

What's the worst song played at your job?
LOL!

Well I am at home and working. I have own music, a coffee, smoke. What else do you need.. :D

[paddy.]

To not smoke?

Hey, they're your lungs.

Well I work for a tech company and we're doing some tech crap so I'm all over the place. I spend most of my time in the Times Square locations, but I'm all over the NYC metro area for them. I have yet to see Carson, but I rode the elevator up the other day with Sway which cracked me up.

[haam]

OH MY GOD i'm working at universal records right now and there's this dude who listens to THE WORST MUSIC EVER everyday!

i'm talking dave mathews live, and he whistles little tunes to the music and tries to sing along BUT FAILS. other than that it's a slew of the worst nu-metal-3-doors-down crap that you can imagine when it's not the dumbest nu-rap you can think of.... OH YEA and i almost forgot, on monday he blasted SAMMY friggin' HAGAR all damn day.

oh man, some days i just want to stick a gun in my mouth.
