Hey Spicoli; Rush at Wawa :-)

[racer2c]

I ran out to our corner Wawa (chain of gas station convienince stores) and what was on the Muzak but none other than the entire Temple of Syrinx! I filled the tank and washed every window just so I could jam out to it. Haven't heard it in 20 some years and I gotta say, it sounded cool.
Thought of you and laughed. :saywhat:

LOL!

Temple of Syrinx on Muzak! Funny $%^. Whodathunkit!

Geddy hates you.

[Spicoli]

That's awesome.

I too have heard bizzaro music on Muzak as of late. Even TV commercials are playing crazy schlitz anymore - stuff that would have made most of us freak out just a few years ago.

As a matter of fact, I heard New Order at Applebees just the other day. :p (Sorry, had to do it)


Seriously, I'm not sure iof it's a) we're all getting older or b) the world is, finally, getting some decent taste in music.



But I must ask....after you heard Temples of Syrinx, did you have an uncontrollable urge to go break out the 3 foot Graphics with the Gattlin bowl and just annihilate your lungage? :rofl:

A couple of years ago a friend and I heard "Bang a Gong" on an elevator. I think Temples of Syrinx beats that though.

If you're eating at Applebee's, I can only assume it's because you're getting too old.

[Spicoli]

I heard Fu Mancu at Jimmy John's sub shop the other day. Pilot the Dune or whatever that song title is. :)

this topic is sick :shakehead

[racer2c]

I wouldn't have bothered mentioning this if the song had been one of their more mainstream songs like Tom Sawyer or Subdivisions, but Temple of Syrinx! That's f'n cool. Now, if it had been something off of Caress of Steel, I probably would have freaked out. :laugh:

"A Passage To Bangkok"

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East
Fly by morning light

[Chorus:]
We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

[Chorus]

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Shoulda put office in quotes. ;) @ least you aren't like the guys in my group that have lunches scheduled by days of the week....same_places_every_week. :saywhat:

I do miss lunches with my boys. We had our regular haunts but never a set schedule. That's really bad.

Man, we had ate some great food too. Fall Church's (DC suburb in VA) has great Indian, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese (dim sum, not American Gen Tso stuff, even though I do enjoy some Gen Tso too).
My wife would get so mad. She'd find the receipts in my pockets and I'd get the third degree about spending $100~ bucks a week on lunches.

Once a month I go to the only Pho shop in my little redneck town. It's horrible compared to the awesome places up North, but it's better than nothin and I'm the only one in the place. In Falls Church Pho98 has a line out the door on cold rainy days (the best weather for Pho).

Speaking of Asian soup, I haven't had a decent bowl of Tom Yum in two years. I'm making myself hungry.

Now I eat crap from the fridge.

Yup. I used to stay there and commute into DC for visits w/friends in the early to mid 80s, when it was an outpost like Sterling/IAD was. I went back about 10 years later and it had been overtaken by our Asian friends (not that there is anything wrong with that). Good eats. :thumbup:

I heard Metallica's "Enter Sandman" piped through a local bank a couple years ago. It wasn't a Muzak version, it was the actual song.

Just to clarify, the song I heard was the actual song also, not an orchestrated remake. I just used the Muzac name as some that is played in public places.

I swear the same thing happened to me, about 4 years ago. And then right after, I heard a ringtone version of it, from an unlikely source on the street.
