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.
Great way to lose customers
Having said that, what's up with the "unhoused" thing? It homeless. Are we now calling it differently because homeless is now all of the sudden insulting? How long until "unhoused" suddenly is a bad word?
Can we please just stop pushing changing words? Homeless is fine, you're without a home. It sucks, people should support you, not shun you, but changing words is just virtue signalling that doesn't do anything to make anything better for anyone
homeless
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.
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.
Super old? 2016?
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.
