They Paved Paradise (i.redd.it)

And Put Up A Parking Lot. Seriously idk why we have two different versions of the song or why they play non stop but it's seriously frustrating.

I’m going to concuss myself with a steaming pitcher the next time it comes on.

IS THIS JUST EVERY STORE LATELY?

See I honestly have always loved this song, but yesterday it played 3 times in less than an hour and I was like ok that’s enough
Belgrifex [OP] 20 points 8m ago
Last Friday it played TWICE during my 10 minute break.
badatlife15 9 points 8m ago
Yeah I think on Tuesday two different versions played back to back.
sukekiyos 3 points 8m ago
OKAY so there was two versions playing!! I thought I was losing my mind
badatlife15 2 points 8m ago
Yeah one is the original by Joni Mitchell, the others is a cover by the Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton. I’m old lol and my mom was a big Joni Mitchell fan 😊

Glad it's not just our store 👹
Jesslynnlove 22 points 8m ago
LOL we were literally talking about this on Monday. This song legit plays over a dozen times a shift and theres like different versions of it.

​

It's cursed too. Even if we switch the genres on the music app it just switches back(?) Not too sure why it does that but its pretty fucking dumb if they are intent on not allowing us to play our own \*better\* curated playlists.
Belgrifex [OP] 10 points 8m ago
Yup same. We'll switch to 70s or something and it'll play like, 4 70s songs and then it'll switch back 🙃

I swear to god I’ve never been so god damned tired of John Denver.
Former_Economics9424 18 points 8m ago
This song playing in starbucks at all is super ironic
franglaisedbeignet 13 points 8m ago
Back to back Joni Mitchell, Counting Crows version of Big Yellow Taxi, and John Denver. I told coworkers the other day I would give anything to have the Taylor Swift playlist back.

The one with the girl singing is horrible. That dumb thing she does where she goes really low with her voice, then giggles? Ugh. Made me want to stick my hand in a blender.
Belgrifex [OP] 2 points 8m ago
Oh my god yes it's terrible!
Agreeable-Shock7306 5 points 8m ago
I’m sobbing, I thought it was just our store
franglaisedbeignet 5 points 8m ago
Don’t it always seem the same
They play this song a lot til we gone
They hack Spotify and want our ears to rot
mama_bibi 4 points 8m ago
Omg I thought it was just us. Driving me nuts. Maybe because starbucks puts up their parking lots everywhere
AshMoony 4 points 8m ago
It’s been driving me nuts. What happened to being able to change the playlist?!
jeanies9 4 points 8m ago
Dude both versions played back to back once and I was ready to end it all
3rudite 4 points 8m ago
A couple years ago during quarantine, our Mobi broke so we couldn’t choose playlists. Every night from about 5:30 to close FOR 3 MONTHS it was ALL ALICIA KEYS. I like Alicia Keys but I was about ready to run out in traffic.
yayannapav 4 points 8m ago
I literally just turn the music down for a few minutes when that song comes on now. I cant listen to it one more time
nicolelynnejones 4 points 8m ago
I’m a big Joni Mitchell fan and tbh it’s even getting to me
twistedstarfall 3 points 8m ago
Pretty sure there's three versions on there that we've heard.

I've taken to singing "they paved paradise and put up a Starbucks, they paved Paradise and put up a Staaaarbucks" because that's what it feels like now lol
[deleted] 3 points 8m ago
If I could never hear this song again that'd be great lol
crowindisguise 3 points 8m ago
I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST MY STORE AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING NUTS
shosh_c 3 points 8m ago
I’m moving in a couple weeks so it feels like a personal attack telling me to appreciate my current store every time it plays lol.
Lostinthewoods214 3 points 8m ago

Grateful my store hasn’t had this ear worm bc my immediate thought was pave paradise by have heart lmao
pastelldillann 2 points 8m ago
ok but is anyone else’s store playing that horrible weird Tim McGraw and Rita Wilson song because i will be bashing my head in with a whipped cream canister if i hear it one more time.
greenChainsaws 2 points 8m ago
oh no its invaded my reddit D:
welcome2mybog 2 points 8m ago
yeah wtf is going on with this playlist??? thought it was just my store! no matter how much we switch it, it always comes back on. the only way we can avoid it is by using our own phones to play music or just turning it off entirely.
Nalytia 2 points 8m ago
Coming to work today it looks like they FINALLY stopped forcing that playlist to be on loop (whenever you'd change it before it would automatically tick back to whatever that playlist was) and I've never been more relieved
