Overexposed, commercialized. Handle me with care (Traveling Wilburys)

I imagine that I would do just fine without Muzak in actual stores, at any time of year. But they won’t turn it off so that I can find out.

Muzak on a computer? Don’t you just place your order and go on?

I always have music playing when I’m on my laptop. Right now, Peter Frampton is playing “O Holy Night” (I have a great Christmas playlist on Spotify).

Muzak. Now there’s something you don’t hear anymore.

Love Muzak!

That’s why they invented Spotify

Please no Muzak for Brenda Lee and Nat King Cole. Nothing would be better than their originals.

Where can I get a computer like that that will talk to me?

Once all the decorating, card-writing, and gift wrapping is done, then and only then will I get into the spirit of Christmas by listening to my Christmas playlist.

What is “Muzak” exactly? Why spell it that way? Why not just spell it music? Never understood that word. Someone care to explain? :)

It was piped in instrumental music in shops and malls, way back when.

Does she want it to spritz overpowering cloying holiday scents at random intervals at her too?

I thought the words were “Chipmunks roasting on an open fire . . .” etc.
