When I was 19, I worked on the Pride of America cruise ship. I got on board the last week or two it was in dry dock finishing construction. One of those weeks, they tested the PA system extensively. They did this by playing Queen's "Radio Ga-Ga" on loop, 24/7. For a week. And there were PA speakers in my cabin.
You ever see a comedy where they do "psychological torture" by playing an unpopular song? This was that, but for real. Every time I hear that fucking song now, I have PTSD flashbacks. The saddest thing was, when I first heard it played there, it was the first time I ever heard it period and I kind of liked it.
But that ship has sailed.
