So you guys know that I work in a grocery store, right? Have you ever noticed that grocery stores tend to have really shitty music? Our music doesn’t even seem to cover the full 24 hours that we’re open. Sometimes I’ll hear the same bad song twice in a shift, and on a four day working weekend like this one, I hear them in my fucking dreams.
Now, this complaint is crazy petty but since I have to hear this bullshit song daily, bear with me for a sec. “Hooked on a Feeling” used to remind me of Shrek, and make me laugh. Now, all I can think about is this horrible, awkward lyric:
Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.
Cup of wine? A CUP OF FUCKING WINE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Who drinks wine from a cup? An alcoholic toddler!? “Cup” is the most awkward word they could have stuck in there. Glass fits perfectly and it actually makes sense. Wine in a wine glass? Genius!
Work music can suck it. (.. am I cracking..?)
