As LB will be quick to tell you, here at Mecca we enjoy experimenting with our background muzak to try and find the perfect blend of redundancy and torment to satisfy both our customers and associates. Our "overnight show" we introduced a few months ago has been a huge success... well, I guess I should clarify that it isn't really a show. It's just a random shuffle of about a couple hundred songs that plays over and over again for five hours from midnight to 5 AM. You may hear the same songs every night.... sometime two or three times, but you know, does it really matter if the songs are great? Well, we've changed the playlist a couple of times due to all of the complaints, and the set we installed for the new year is very heavy on oldies, and we cut down on the variety even more! Hey, who doesn't love the wonderful music of the 60's and 70's, right? Well, I guess LB has already grown tired of hearing these classics that have been played pretty much every night for the past two weeks, and now he wants to torture you with them. I think he should just quit his bitching and get back to work before I bring back the heavy rotation of modern country music like we had in October and November....... yeehaw, baby!

You may hear the same songs every night.... sometime two or three times, but you know, does it really matter if the songs are great?

Our "overnight show" we introduced a few months ago has been a huge success... well, I guess I should clarify that it isn't really a show.

You may hear the same songs every night.... sometime two or three times, but you know, does it really matter if the songs are great? Well, we've changed the playlist a couple of times due to all of the complaints, and the set we installed for the new year is very heavy on oldies, and we cut down on the variety even more! Hey, who doesn't love the wonderful music of the 60's and 70's, right? Well, I guess LB has already grown tired of hearing these classics that have been played pretty much every night for the past two weeks, and now he wants to torture you with them. I think he should just quit his bitching and get back to work before I bring back the heavy rotation of modern country music like we had in October and November....... yeehaw, baby!

[quote="Gimme A Squiggly"]As LB will be quick to tell you, here at Mecca we enjoy experimenting with our background muzak to try and find the perfect blend of redundancy and torment to satisfy both our customers and associates. Our "overnight show" we introduced a few months ago has been a huge success... well, I guess I should clarify that it isn't really a show. It's just a random shuffle of about a couple hundred songs that plays over and over again for five hours from midnight to 5 AM. You may hear the same songs every night.... sometime two or three times, but you know, does it really matter if the songs are great? Well, we've changed the playlist a couple of times due to all of the complaints, and the set we installed for the new year is very heavy on oldies, and we cut down on the variety even more! Hey, who doesn't love the wonderful music of the 60's and 70's, right? Well, I guess LB has already grown tired of hearing these classics that have been played pretty much every night for the past two weeks, and now he wants to torture you with them. I think he should just quit his bitching and get back to work before I bring back the heavy rotation of modern country music like we had in October and November....... yeehaw, baby!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Before you won my heart
You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind

Where did our love go, Supremes

2. If I have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day
just to keep you from walkin’ away
let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
cause I want to keep you any way I can

I know you wanna leave me,
But I won't let you go.
If I have to beg, plead for sympathy,
I don't mind cause you mean that much to me.
Ain't too proud to beg, Temptations

3. "I'll be over at ten" you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)

Build me up, Buttercup, . . . Ugh, no artist. OK, guess Tommy Roe

4. He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

Brandy, Looking Glass

5. Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands

Dang, four in a row. Oh well.

6. It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby should never have the blues

7. A tiny spark will remain
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again

8. Baby please, please don't take your love from me
I am yours for ever more, 'till eternity
Silence please, listen to the words I say
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

9. Happy days are here again
The time is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten
Come tomorrow, let's all do it again

10. So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

11. Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

Tears of a Clown, Smokey Robinson

12. Was in the spring
Then spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Reachin out, touchin me, touchin youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Sweet Caroline, Neil Diamond

13. Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman sing a song

We'll come back to this one. . . . No good. Onward!

14. Demonstrating love and affection
That you give so openly yeah
I like the way ya make me about you baby
Want the whole wide world to see

15. What ever happened at the high school hop?
I guess you should remember soda pop.
Ever think about the girl next door
With beat up sneakers and a pony tail?

Yes, I'm chickening out because I always get the Temps mixed up with the Tops. I think it's because I used to have a record called TnT which was all which was all song by well, you know....ha!

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist from the 60's or 70's that you hear a lot.

Killer Queen - Queen

Okay, the reason I hear it a lot is because I play it a lot, but that still counts! Btw, your "hear a lot" put the kibosh on my original krox because I don't hear Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mothers that much these days. The so good, so good from Sweet Caroline always reminds me of the so well, so well from Redneck Mothers. Welcome to my brain, don't be frightened. You don't have to live there....
