Reminds me of when I briefly worked in an office upstairs from the Seattle Mariners headquarters. Every time I went up or down the stairs I could hear the Mariners theme song playing in their lobby, so presumably they had it looping nonstop. I don't know how that receptionist didn't run screaming from the building by the end of the day.

I honestly don't know if this is better or worse than the ear murdering high pitched screeching they play in the stairwells at a mall in Ottawa

So as a worker with a house, can I sue when I go insane from hearing that song over and over? Didn’t they do this in Guantánamo to torture and break people?

Ugh how did this super old song become a thing.. I swear people are getting dumber. I hated it when they sang it at summer camp, and I still hate it now.

Because small children absolutely adore it.

This was an old camp song when I was a kid

I was forced to sing it in school in the 90s. Along with the Jamba The Hutt/McDonalds song.

The gas station near me blasts very loud opera music at the area surrounding the building. I think it's also to prevent kids from loitering as there is a school nearby as well as plenty of homeless.
