What songs have you heard in inappropriate/unfitting places?

[thiccqueenweesa]

I posted on the "obscure songs you heard in public" thread and it made me want to make a thread about songs that can possibly play at the wrong place at the wrong time - or in a place you weren't expecting to hear it.

Like, for example, I heard the Hamster Dance song at Raising Cane's. I get that the middle of the restaurant is set up to look like a dance floor but just randomly hearing a song I haven't thought about since elementary school had me floored and dying of laughter!

And when I went to Hot Topic a couple months ago, they were playing "It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.

What song(s) have you heard in inappropriate places? I'd love to hear them.

When I was in Italy several years ago, some friends and I went into a clothing store that was playing an uncensored version of Lil Dicky's "Earth." We walked in the store right before Dicky's third verse and needless to say, we were rather shocked to suddenly hear all of Dicky's explicit sex jokes play completely uncensored lol.

I've heard several uncensored songs in the grocery store the past few years. I think the last one was the uncensored version of P!nk's 'U+Ur Hand' a few weeks ago.

I heard "Lost In The Fire" completely uncensored at a shopping centre in the UK last year. 💀

I used to work at a kids’ birthday party place and sometimes I’d hear “Booty” by Jennifer Lopez. Somehow we never got any complaints when it came on. The only time someone wanted the music shut off is when a hardcore Christian bible camp came in and said the kids weren’t allowed to listen to “rock music.”

I recently took part in a survey for a Greek radio station which exclusively plays Throwback music from the 80s & 90s.

I had to listen to 5 sec snippets of various 80s, 90s & 00s hits and then rate them. Among the songs that were in the survey was....... American Life.

I once watched a stripper dance to "Whiskey Lullaby". Very odd.

I thought of another example. A couple of years ago when I was staying at a hotel, they had the explicit version of Doja Cat's "Need to Know" playing at a loud volume up in the check-in area at the front desk. IIRC it was a very young employee (maybe like 16 or 17) who I think had connected his phone to the hotel speaker system and was playing his own music (rather than the hotel's playlist), but it was still quite surprising haha.

when i was at my rehab clinic one day, one of the therapists was playing super freak and me, trying to make conversation, said "there's a nicki minaj song that samples this" and that therapist then said "lemme play it i wanna hear the sample" and then a fully uncensored version of the song started playing through the speakers and she went "......ok, that's enough of that" 😭

Last year I heard the explicit version of "Seven" playing at a boba shop lmao

I distinctly remember watching the news in France one day, and they were talking about a new cancer clinic opening...and the outro music after it was Girl Gone Wild by Madonna. I remember it happening a few other times too after serious news stories and then the outro music was Hung Up or 4 Minutes.

The French love sticking Madonna songs in appropriate places.

This morning at the hospital, I heard "Die Young" by Kesha.

[†ealsünset]

Last year I heard 34+35 at Cheesecake Factory.

[Janhova's Witness]

The way some of y’all are surprised that your immoral culture actually shows its face in public 💀 It’s not 1954 anymore!

“Die Young” at the hospital is a vibe tho

[johnm1120]

Last week walking through the mall I passed Journeys and they were playing an uncensored version of 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P."

[jimijoop]

Recently i heard Born again by Rihanna at Jumbo (toy store) in Nikaia, Greece. So random.
