Standing in a Frys in Scottsdale waiting at the deli counter.

2. My local grocery store
plays 80's hits.

Haven't heard Frankie yet, but hearing 'White Lines' was a bit odd (doubt they sell that there... )

4. Zellers and London Drugs in Canada play the best Muzak.
Zellers played something from Joe Jackson's Look Sharp album the other day. I think it was Pretty Girls.

London Drugs plays a lot of the better 80s songs. Enola Gay by OMD comes to mind.

6. It was at Save On that I hear
80's music. I always feel good in there, brings back a lot of fun memories.

The London Drugs here never play cool music. Haven't been to a Zellers in ages, so I can't comment.

7. A nearby Sobey's often plays disco
When I was there last night, they played Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" followed by James Taylor's "Fire and Rain".

5. "Escalator of Life" by Robert Hazard a few months ago
at the San Marcos H-E-B. They play tons of really obscure '80s songs there. :shrug:
