Paper Doll at the grocery store!
 

I went to the grocery store after work this morning and as I walked through thr door I heard what I thought was Stevie singing.I got my cart and stopped to listen better. Then it hit me.I don't think I've ever heard that song anywhere unless I was listening to the cd. I even got a little annoyed when someone was paged and it interupted the song.

I felt the same way when I heard Reconsider Me at Home Depot.

I love those moments! I heard SYW at the grocery store last week. :thumbsup:

My weirdest story....when I was a freshmen(now a senior), I went to Boston Market across the street for lunch, hahah. And I stopped to listen I heard Say You Will, then another Fleetwood Mac song from the mirage album not too sure which one, and then Christine's "friend" and then Chris's "You Are", I was too naive to realize, that it must have been the managers mixed cd, or just a really great day to be a Fleetwood mac fan at Boston Market, haha

On two separate occasions (once in 2006 and the other just a couple months ago), I've heard the 9 minute version of "Sara" while walking through Boston's Logan Airport. Pretty bizarre.

Cool story! I always hear the same old songs on the radsio, at stores etc. mostly "Little Lies", "Everywhere", "Dreams","Go Your Own Way"
A while ago I heard "As Long As You Follow" at the cafetaria at work, I was completely in shock, but that's as rare as it gets.

Giant Eagle (a PA/OH/WV, etc grocery chain) always seems to be playing somewhat rare FM-related songs. I can remember hearing Angel, Trouble, Magnet and Steel, Got a Hold on Me...and a few others that aren't coming to mind right now.

That's awesome. I never hear any music when I'm going through Logan. But then I'm usually always in a mad rush.

It seems to me that the same places play the same music on a loop. I know that I've been to P. F. Chang's two different times when they played Countdown.

WOW!! I have never heard that song on the radio or while in a store before!!! Too cool!

Oh cool!...mongolian beef and Countdown with a vietnamese spring roll!...trés jolie!!!!!!!

I hear Paper Doll almost every day at Walgreens. It's actually for some odd reason their most played Fleetwood Mac song with Tusk a close second, and thats pretty much it for regularly played Fleetwood Mac songs. It's weird.

Well, most poor-quality Chinese food does initiate a countdown for me...deep inside my bowels! :shocked:

I heard Peacekeeper at a Stop n Shop in Framingham, MA in like May, I was shocked!!
Then at the Big Y in like July i heard 7 Wonders, and I forgot to play the coin game! lol.

I love hearing 'rare' ones around here. I mostly hear 'Dreams', 'Rhiannon', 'GOYW', and Chris' 75/77 songs. I heard 'Hold Me' on a Christine block the day after my birthday and I nearly *****tt my pants!! [Sometimes they play 'Stand Back' on 102.1...]

My mom said she heard 'Go Insane' once, but I told her she must have been on something, since they never play anything good like that :/

Wow I didn't know 102.1 FM traveled that far east. I wish I could pick up WAAF clearly like I used to be able to many years ago.

Oh I have no idea if that was the station Peacekeeper was on, but I know in the car [where my mom has 102.1 or 100.1 on most of the time] 102.1 plays SB once every other month maybe...

I heard Friend at Best Buy

LOL. How appropriate for Home Depot. Yes...reconsidering which paint color to choose.

Quite a few years ago when I worked at K-B Toys, I would bring in a mixed Christmas CD during the holiday season, which of course had Stevie's version of Silent Night on it. It was always funny because you could clearly identify fans of Stevie when the song played. I would also get customers who would say "Who's singing this, it's so beautiful" and then a few who would say "This is AWFUL, who's singing this"! :laugh:

Back in 2001 I heard the dance remix of Planets of the Univers in Abercrombie and Bitch. I was really surprised as they are suppose to be so "youth oriented and hip" thought they would only play rap and stuff I have never heard of.

The Tracy Young dance remix of Planets reached #1 on the Billboard Dance charts.

I really am a Fleetwood Mac Stevie maniac I realized when I was at the local grocery store and they played "Fireflies". Not that much of a big deal you would think ....
But it wasn't the Fireflies that I hjave on my Live FM album it was ANOTHER version.
Oh, Yes... I stopped so I could listen to the words.
Came home and tracked it down on You tube (I think) and now I have it saved.
Better than the original where you really have no idea what she is saying, it is a soundcheck (suppossedly) and she is mumbling, on the original Live vinyl that I have.
In this other version her lyrics and vocals are much stronger and clear...

I was amazed!- You never know where you'll find good music....

I'd say thats pretty cool.....I don't think I'd compete with that one....that'd be rare to say the least really.................:blob1:

Hey all - new here! :-)

I've heard "Angel" at the local Giant Eagle (or Jine Iggle, if you're from Northwestern PA).

When I lived and worked in Michigan, we would often go to lunch at a Bennigan's down the street, and two things were guaranteed to happen every time I set foot through the door - I'd hear "Trouble" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" during the meal, and I'd eat my weight in fried chicken salad. Good times, good times. :blob2:

I heard 'Talk to Me' at Marshalls yesterday :thumbsup:

I heard Hold Me yesterday. I was soooo singing it while checking out :laugh:

I work at a Foodland store in Western PA (I am the Butcher). I always hear As Long As You Follow and Thrown Down. Also, Say You Will and, for some reason I hear... kinda unrelated... 3 or more times a week... With Your Love by Jefferson Starship!!:o

I heard "As Long As You Follow" in Big Lots on Friday night, hahah

It takes me about 50 minutes to get my nails done and in 13 years, I don't think I've ever been in there once when I didn't hear a FM or (solo Macster's) song come on the radio. I'm not exaggerating. I have a picture of FM as a screen saver on my phone and every time their song comes on, I point to the phone and tell the manicurist that that is them. I think she suspects I am lying, because every single time I am in there, I tell her it's them on the radio. But it is!

My appointment was this morning and today the song on the radio was GYOW. I said to the manicurist, "Hear that? Myan, that's the man I went to see in concert last night." She smiled at me and nodded, but I don't think she believed me.

I remember one time awhile back I heard a song that I had never heard in a store. I think it may have been ALAYF. I totally love those moments. Totally makes my shopping experience 1,000 times better.

I was in a drug store yesterday and heard ALAYF. I immediately thought of this thread. I hate to hear it, because they inevitably interrupt the song to make price check announcements or something else equally annoying. It means so much more to hear a rare song like As Long As You Follow than it does to hear the popular Hold Me or Little Lies (which I heard as muzak in my office building on Friday). Somehow the songs sound more beautiful in public than they do on my own stereo.

I heard "As Long as You Follow" at ShopKo yesterday. And during the middle of the song; it said "Chris, please call line three."
~Rhiya:]

OMG that's epic :laugh: :nod:

I heard "Say You Will" at the gym yesterday! I was so shocked I almost fell off the stairmaster!

I heard "Not That Funny" the other day at Saks 5th Avenue in South Coast Plaza. I bought a pair of Wonderlite dark-brown loafers.

I know, right?:p

Next to Little Lies, Not that Funny is the most popular FM conversion to Muzak!
