I worked in a drive in burger joint flipping burgers in the early 70’s my contemporaries would come in drop 25 cents and get 5 plays on the jukebox. Sometimes they would play the same song back to back to..... arrrgh! Out they would go and in would come the next group, you guessed it, same popular song or group of songs. To this day if I hear most on that music it’s stuck for a few hours. Sirius radio 70’s on 7 is banned it the car on trips!
I had a similar experience working at a B Dalton shopping mall bookstore around 1981. The mall had an indoor ice rink with a music soundtrack that consisted of about 10 songs. I don't want to think of the number of times I heard "Mr. Roboto" by Styx during my six months working there. That one is banished from my earworm rotation forever.
