One of my favorite songs that plays at work on pretty much a daily basis is "Do You Believe Me Now"
Granted it's not a typical song that I like. But for some reason I enjoy it while at work. Maybe because it's easy to sing to and I always sing while at work. I have a terrible voice but that does not stop me. Maybe it's because it sounds good against the empty aisles. It does. I don't think it could be called an echo or even a ringing but for some reason it fills the store quite nicely. I enjoy that. So I sing. And I sing bad.
Typical times you'll find me singing include: while bagging, while walking through the aisles or while walking to get cigarettes. I even sing at the register too but most of the time that's in more of a hushed tone. All the other times I sing loud and proud. Well, not really but I sing more above a whisper. I get singing quite loud while in the aisles. I'll turn a corner singing and there stands a manager. Then it's a "Uh yeahhh about that..." moment and I just walk away. Oh, I whistle more while checking. Except I can't whistle so it's a really feeble/weak/poor sound but I try.
One of my other favorites to sing? "Your Love" by The Outfield. Josie's on a vacation far away! Come around and talk it over, so many things that I want to say, you know I like my girls a little bit older. I just want to lose your love toniggggggght! I don't want to lose your love toniiiiight!
Another reason I like that song? Frank Catalonatto's at bat song last year. Yes, I've blogged about that before. Yes, I'm going to miss him this year.
Another song that gets a lot of people singing is Elton John's "I Guess that's Why They Call It the Blues" Time on my hands! Could be time spent with you!
Yeeahhhh. They play a whole variety there. Some good, some bad. Some great, some that make me want to scream. Phil Collins I'm looking at you on that last one. Some I'm just ashamed of liking and some I just like to sing to. Like "The Circle of Life."
Man, that's two Elton John songs in one blog post. Yikes.
So yeah...that's, uh, it. Mmhm.
ETA OH! Speaking of singing! Does anyone else remember Preparation H Raymond from Late Night with Conan? Anyway he always sung a song and I always start to sing the "Raymond's here! Raymond's here!" part whenever I see a manager for the first time in a day. Why? Cause guess his name.
Oh here's video of Prep H Ray on Conan.
