You're 54 years old, visiting the Villages and you hear, "The Shrimp Boats are Coming" by Jo Stafford, or "How much is that doggie in the Window" by Patti Page. Next stop, the Twilight zone.

This is exactly right. I am 55 and one day at the sport pool I heard the radio station playing, "It was an itzy bitzy yellow polka dot bikini, so in the blanket she wanted to stay....she was afraid to come out in the open, so a blanket she wore....now she's afraid to come out of the water, and the poor little girl's turnin' blue....one-two-three-four, tell us what she wore....it was an itsy bitsy yellow polka dot bikini...." (the stupidest song I ever heard as a kid and it's even worse now)

and then it was
Bobbie Goldsboro moaning his way thru "Honey"..."and Honey, I miss you".... (Hated that sappy song in the 60's)
and then it was.... (Hated that sappy song in the 60's)
Bobbie Gentry singing "Ode to Billie Joe".... suicide off the Talahatchie bridge...
What a bunch of airheaded, crappy, depressing songs, and it got worse from there!
The whole station programming sounds like piped in nursing-home music and that is exactly why they need late 60's and 70's classic rock music aired.
