There are similar superstores, which sell most everything. But I don't think independently they have the same range as a Walmart does.

Incidentally, I have been to a Walmart, in Greenwood Mississippi. That's quite a few years ago now. It was impressive, and I remember that they didn't play that awful song.

I think it was in the local Walmart back in December that I was unable to escape the annual 'run for my life' crap holiday song; Macca's worst song ever. I won't even name the title so hopefully it doesn't create an ugly earworm for you.

I love the Beatles' songs for the most part, as a band and many of their solo work - but there should be some sort of fine for airing that song in any way, shape or form.

Yes, but they call them Wallabymart.


That was a belly laugh!

Now you'll be able to.

Think of this as a vaccination!

These two records from this decade screamed "hit" the first time I heard them. Each is commercial, but also artistic, IMO.

The first is Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off". She is the first listed of 3 writers.

This is IMO a brilliantly written pop song. Catchy tune, incredible hook, stunning word play (twist of phrase), and a GREAT message.

IMO, it's a little work of art.

I had never seen this "official" video until today; I watched it to get the link for this post. I thought the dancing cute, but it distracted from the record.

But note that there are nearly 2 BILLION (yes, that's a "B") views of this video.

If you chose to watch / listen, I would strongly suggest headphones. And further suggest a second listen without watching, simply to marvel at how clever the lyric is.

Still, the difference between the mp3 and CD (on a good system) is startling.

If you don't like it, well, "HATERS GONNA HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE!"

"Shake It Off" (Taylor Swift)

Here is another I think exceptional, "Born This Way" from Lady Gaga and written by Lady Gaga.

Again, the official video has nearly 2 Billion views. But it lasts over 7 minutes. This shorter one, with 31 million views, has the lyrics.

We did have Walmart in Germany until a couple of years ago. Then they moved out, obviously in Germany there was a lack of free advertising. Here I've never seen the sort of people that triggered others to snap a shot and widely publish it.

I have heard that Taylor Swift song as background music for a parody video on youtube. An acquaintance from Cleveland is her guitar player. One of those "he'd know me if he saw me but wouldn't remember my name" types. Did sound for his cousin's band here for a while.....
