simpsonfan2: That’s what I’ve always called this song too! It’s from my generation but I’ve never liked it! It creeped me out when I was a teenager and it still does to this very day.
I agree with FishStix, except Walmart always has too much noise going on too. The thinking these days seems to be to turn up the “music” to block out other noises, which leads to making the other noises louder, so the music gets louder, so the other noises get louder…. I do miss being able to go to a restaurant and having a conversation without having to shout to be heard.

Plugger pushing the cart doesn’t seem too happy. Remember, you either get older or you die. Smile.

Pluggers are also unknowingly hearing hints that they are always being watched.

I was actually thinking of Greenday when I suggested this.
Glad Gary took my basic premiss anyway.

Okay… for some, you’re a plugger when your meds make you paranoid.

I know I’m a Plugger when I’m walking around a store and hear a song I clearly remember being played at a funeral.

simpsonfan2 and GretchensMom, that’s because Sting wrote the song about a woman who stalked him across Europe and North America for a couple of years.
The turning point for me was about ten years ago, I was in Mervyn’s and heard a Muzak rendition of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” Not even a ballad!
