work

imagine my surpsise when, whilst i was working today, scanning groceries, the noise dies down due to their not being many customers, and what comes over the loud speakers? -- the one and only CLEMENTINE'S LOOP.  i don't quite understand why or how, but it made my day nonetheless.  people were walking around, stopping dead in their tracks, looking up and saying "what the fuck is that?", it was great.

i dont expect much by way of replies, but i just thought id share it with ya's anyway.

[Pubrick]

how bout an explanation.. does ur store regularly start making reverse bell noises on loudspeaker?

it's just a really bizarre story that makes no sense.

[Duck Sauce]

Are you sure it was the clementine loop and not just something you thought or made sound like it?

[Jeremy Blackman]

Miracles happen.

[Pozer]

y'know what, I swear there's some other old bell toll thing that resembles it a bit. No clue by whom or from what time or anything, but I've always thought that it sounded like this older piece.
unless I dreamt this. that happens a lot.

Wow! That's great! What store was it? You know, I've never heard an Aimee Mann song on the radio before. I've only heard "Save Me" in a stop-and-go place before but that's it.

An old boss of mine used to do a ton of VO work for radio, and I remember going to Wal Mart on vacation one time in another state and hearing his voice coming over the in-house radio.

I was like "damn, I'm on vacation!"

As for the loop, I don't buy it. I'll bet it was mistaken identity.

did you see a optigan lying arround the store anywhere?

[Alethia]

i dont believe it was mistaken identity..............i do have it downloaded and am quite familiar with it.  cant really explain further but shit happens.  perhaps a fellow pta fan works there that i dont know about and felt like having fun.  who knows.
