3 Christmas tunes -- that's it!

By DaWalrus · Dec 23, 2010 · ·
  1. I wonder if there is scientific evidence for the link between the music playing in a store and the amounts of money people spend.

    In the spirit of the season, I have visited many a store lately and have heard one of exactly 3 (three!) songs in every one of them.

    No wait, Hot Topic was a bit ahead of the curve: they had heavy metal, though they've switched to Let It Snow pretty much as soon as I came in. No, I don't have a white beard and a red cap.

    To make matters worse, I have a decent musical memory. Santa Clause is Coming is playing in my head right now.

    I think you are right. I think they play it because it makes people happy, not me but surely other people. If you notice 9 times out of 10 they are playing something cheerful and upbeat like Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. I almost never hear Silent Night or Silver Bells in a store.

    Happy music makes people happy, happy people are happy shoppers who worry less about their budget and more about continuing to chase that happy feeling.

    Santa Clause is Coming to Town is better than the song I have stuck in my head.."Like a G6, When Sober girls around me they be accen like they drunk"

    Thanks for enriching my world, found it on U-Tub.
    "Like a G6" is not my style, but beats the hell out of Santa Claus. Well, just my taste, I guess. Merry Christmas, BTW.
