I Am A Patient Boy

Posted by Nick Spacek on Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM

I went to the dentist yesterday, and as the hygienist worked on scrubbing the coffee stains off my teeth, the radio was set on one of those "lite FM" stations, and I was subjected to a train of horrendous music: things like Jewel's "Foolish Games," which is actually not the worst thing I've ever had to hear in a doctor's office. That honor would have to go to the back-to-back Air Supply's "All Out of Love" and Kenny Loggins' "What A Fool Believes" when getting a post-surgery checkup.

What's the worst music you've been subjected to in a waiting room, restaurant (I worked in a Jimmy John's where my coworkers insisted on playing Do or Die every night), or standing in line somewhere?

i'm hoping to someday break the cycle of dentists playing shitty music. either that or i'll play only '90s alternative and put the Eels' "novocaine for the soul" on repeat. actually, i recently had a patient sing along to most of "after the gold rush" while i pulled his teeth. i drew a cartoon about it.

When I worked at the 810 Zone on the Plaza, we would have to listen to a continuous DMB loop all night long. It was terrible. I don't even think Dave would have approved.
