"Only the beginning" repeated many times. Those are lyrics, not a title.

I heard one today at the grocery that vchimp probably would have liked. "Lover Man" -- pretty sure it was the Billie Holiday version. Not sure where that came from, they're usually in the 80s and 90s.
"Just The Two of Us" and "All Right" on two separate weeks.
There was also a song with lyrics like "Talk to the one that made you."

"Stepping Out", "Working My Way Back to You", and "Lean on Me", but Carribean-sounding.
"Just a Song Before I Go" is all I remember from last week. The rest of the list is somewhere.
Found it. "Valerie" by Steve Winwood and "All Night Long".
I don't know the music provider, but at another grocery store I go to, they vary the music. I've been told the music comes from "corporate". Normally it is mainstream AC. Lately it has been soft AC, as in my usual grocery. Today it was smooth jazz and I liked it.

At A&P today I heard The Sweet - "Ballroom Blitz" followed by Orleans - "Dance With Me". I like that kind of trainwreck mix. 
"Hold Me" by Fleetwood Mac and "Working My Way Back to You" at my grocery store.
Also, at a grocery store that is not my usual one, "Have a Heart". That followed a female vocalist who kept repeating the word "Dreaming". No, not Vanessa Williams. I know that one.

"Mandolin Rain", "Magic" by Olivia Newton-John, and something with "sunshine" a lot in the lyrics (male vocalist) last week at my grocery store.
This week, some poor female vocalist yowled "No one, no one, no one", and I also heard "Little Lies" and Rita Coolidge's "Higher and Higher".

"Somebody's Baby" and "The Year of the Cat".
Heard today in Walgreens:
David Soul - "Don't Give Up On Us" (which one lady in the store was humming along to)
Peter Cetera ft. Az Yet - "You're The Inspiration" (1997 re-recording of the 1984 Chicago hit)
Taylor Hicks - "Do I Make You Proud"

Heard on my own Muzak Encompass V box today: Five For Fighting - "Above The Timberline"
A great song, and a shame it never got any radio airplay!

Last week at my grocery store: "1234" by Feist, "Her Town Too" and "I'll Be Around".
The week before that: "Say" by John Mayer, "Silly Love Songs", and "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley.

Here's what I want to know about Muzak:
At least 6 times an hour, the Super Stop & Shop I work at in Connecticut is bombarded with a USPS Forever Stamps ad. Then there's what has to be the whitest woman in America voicing other spots, such as our departments and the People's United Bank in front of the store. I've head the same woman voicing spots at a CVS and a Walgreens on the same avenue we're on. The CVS store ran the exact same Forever Stamps spot which we're beat to death with.
As for Muzak and Super Stop & Shop, I'm assuming it's them, since I've seen a dimmer-type switch with "MUZAK" on the wall of the manager's office.

Last week at my grocery store: "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie, and, believe it or not, "We've Only Just Begun". I couldn't hear it clearly enough to know for sure it was The Carpenters. But the arrangement was very close.
I thought I was going to remember the lyrics for the other one. It was a popular country song title (but it wasn't that song), followed by the words "feels so good".

When I went to the doctor twenty years ago, the office had one. I never heard any music.
At my grocery store, "You Can Do Magic", "Smooth" and "Strange Magic".
The one song I recognized one week was "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" It is quite unfortunate I heard this one on a day I had lots of soup coupons and decided I would not necessarily find a better deal such as buy one get one free before they expired. The speakers are the loudest where the soup is.
A female vocalist sang about behaving.

At my usual grocery store:
"Laughter in the Rain", "Reunited", "Big Yellow Taxi" (by a man).
At another grocery store:
"Wherever You Will Go". I think that's the title. I heard the words "If I would".

Of course it was the Carpenters....Karen's voice is the giveaway. Muzak has changed to MOOD in our store. Only current hits so far.
