Lately I’ve been noticing how many stores use eighties pop and poppy rock as their piped in background music. Fine by me — I’ve always like that music, and I imagine it’s a pretty safe choice. Lots of good upbeat songs from that era. There’s a bit of an eighties revival going on at the moment that may be factoring in too.
Every time now I go to the supermarket, I hear Van Halen’s “Jump”.
