Both of my jobs have satellite radio stations with a select group of "appropriate" songs. The hardware store has always played some complete crap, but Kohl's does play one terrifyingly and terribly troublesome song that the hardware store would never dare add to it's playlist because it reeks of shit.
This list will probably be lengthened, but here are the top three worst songs I have to hear just about everyday at work:
No. 1
(Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League
This song truly makes me cringe. I dunno if it is the awful duets or the awkward rhythms, but it's bad. Oh it is so, so bad! And not in the way that many 80s favorites are, in that they're so crappy the round the bend and become sorta good. Not that you'd ever admit that you actually like it or anything (such as this gem by Hall and Oates). But honestly, "Fascination" may just ruin music entirely for me if I continue to hear it multiple times a night at Kohl's. The hardware store has some shit music on the radio, but they'd never stoop so low as to play The Human League.
No. 2
Glory of Love - Chicago (or maybe just Peter Cetera. I don't care enough to research it anymore)
Woah! WOAH! This starts out crappy and slow but then it intensely builds up to a full fledged shit show. The terrible quality remains throughout. I had to listen to this every freakin' saturday at least three times a day when I worked during high school. I must say I love the arbitrary pictures that someone set to this song on the youtube video. Somehow the comments are all praising it. Maybe I'm the only one who despises this song (very doubtful).
No. 3
Walk Between the Raindrops - Fagen Donald
I'm shocked I found this song on youtube. I don't have a distinct reason for hating it, other than thinking its just too kitschy for its own good. Also it gets stuck in my head really easily and it is NOT something I ever want to hear. And also...the lyrics make no sense. Walk between the raindrops?! Seriously Fagen Donald, who I had never heard of until I did a lyric search two minutes ago, what does walking between the raindrops entail? Fuck you.
More to come. People will keep writing terrible music, satellite radios at places I work will insist on playing it, and I will despise it.

OMG, hilarious!! Love it! I remember when I worked retail and they would have their playlist... They played good stuff at 4am and started the crap at 8am when people started coming in to shop. If I hear any ore Phil Collins I will seriously stab someone in the eye! Great post!
Hahaha. The hardware store's satellite radio favors Phil Collins and Kenny Loggins. Gahhhh!
