Sheffield Bus Interchange – Change your CD!

Recommended Posts

Twice a day I walk through Sheffield bus interchange, to get to work of a morning, then back to the train station in the afternoon. For the love of God, somebody who work there please change the music! Every morning, all I get is “Oooon the wings of loooove“ by Jeffrey Osborne, same day, day in, day out. The CD must be on a loop, and mustn’t be changed – in the afternoon it’s the turn of OMC’s “How Bizarre”.

 

A dreary work day already feels like something out of Groundhog Day, even before hearing the same tiresome, grating tunes. All I can say is, I know how Billy Murray feels.

Maybe the whole point of playing really annoying tunes is to stop undesirables hanging around the place, like that pub that was in the news a few years back for playing Des O'Connor songs at chucking out time?

It does work :thumbsup:

 

I recall reading about a vandalism plagued train station near Leeds playing Mozart over the tannoy between announcements.

 

The vandalism stopped over night.

 

Classical music has the same affect on chavs as salt does on slugs :thumbsup:

On the wings of love I could just about tolerate, but that How Bizarre song, Gah! :rant: it's not even a proper song, all it does is some bloke says "how bizarre how bizarre" and then "music" goes "doo deo doo doo dee doo"... even I could write a better "song" than that.

In Rotherham interchange they have taken to playing rather sombre music just lately result hardly a Chav or Chavette to be seen.

I know how you feel, i walk through the interchange twice a day too. In the morning its James Blunt 'Beautiful' - as if that song is not played enough anyway...

I cant remember what is played when i'm going home, but its some stupid song.

 

Anyway i finally went and bought some batteries for my MP3 player!!! :)
