Some Obscure Muzak Songs

What is Muzak?

The stricter definition is mood music (aka background music) produced by the company Muzak (a portmanteau of Music and Kodak bc the company owner thought it sounded cool). Broader definition would be defined as usually milder music that is specifically chosen by corporations that are supposed to subtly influence and improve the shopping experience. The songs will generally be songs that weren’t No.1 hits, so they’ll fall out of the range of rotation for most radio stations.

Trying to find ones that don’t get a lot of radio play nowadays (either they weren’t a huge hit or whatever). Will add more as I go:

The Sundays - Here’s Where the Story Ends

Til Tuesday - You Know the Rest

Bruce Hornsby and the Range - Mandolin Rain

Céline Dion - It’s All Coming Back to Me Now

Human League - Human

Billie Myers - Kiss the Rain

Olivia Newton-John - Goodbye Again

Tears for Fears - Advice For the Young at Heart

Cathy Dennis - Too Many Walls

Leah Kunkel - Step Out

Sade - Paradise
