(and other high street stores, retail outlets, etc)
Torch by Soft Cell. A fine song and a big hit in the early eighties, so not unknown by any means, but not something I expect to hear when walking down the aisle of Morrisons in 2019. It would have been no surprise at all to hear the often played Tainted Love, but Torch isn't a song I remember hearing a great deal even.when subjected to 'gold' stations or perusing at nostalgia compilation albums.
Maybe it wasn't even down to the track that it felt out of place, but the fact that the supermarket in question is in an an area of the North East that is a little bit cold in a cultural sense, and appears to have a large demographic that would have been reasonably old even when the song came out.
