Of all the inventions and ideas of the Twentieth Century, Muzak has to be among the worst. Take a good (or not so good) song, Kenny G-ify it, and unleash it on the masses via supermarkets, elevators, and “hold” buttons on the telephone.
Of all these poor songs that have been put in front of a firing squad, which has to be the worst? Not the worst song in its original incarnation, but the one that either was such a far-out choice to be Musakified, or was Musakified to a degree that makes it worse than the average Musaked song?
For sheer bizarreness, my vote goes to The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven.” While belt-shopping with my brother.
