  • Best shopping trip ever

    Recently I was in one of our local supermarkets. They were having some custoemr appreciation day, and had a DJ taking requests. When I went in the DJ looked kind of lonely with no customers asking for songs to be played over the PA.

    I decided to make things more interesting. I asked him to play a few selections sure to get attention of the shoppers as he was playing mostly top 40 and some classic rock and 80's stuff. My selections some good some evil...
    Journey - Don't stop believing
    Styx - Come Sail Away
    AC/DC - Thunderstruck
    Don Mclean - American Pie
    and yes, Rick Astley never gonna give you up

    Apparently I wasn't the only person to rick roll the store that day as several employees told me it was the best music they had heard in the store ever that day.

    XD You should've added YMCA and The Macarena to that to see if anyone would dance.

      Like the first two. I think I'd have asked for some Led Zep...but not Stairway to Heaven cuz that's so overplayed. Maybe Misty Mountain Hop or Kashmir.

        I am particularly fond of the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp myself.

            Awesome list. I personally have "Never Gonna Give You Up" on my mp3 player and play it often. I love it!

                That was a decent movie, especially the scene where F-14's are taking on Zeros...

                    Ooooh, more Led Zep fans! I'd have gone for the Lemon Song myself (just for the last verse, to see if anyone noticed.....)

                          Have you heard Bond doing Kashmir?

                          It's not quite the same, but it's still quite good.

                              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
