    One of my first jobs was at Ross Dress for Less. This song played 28 times per shift.

    As stated, I grew up in pennysyltucky where fashion took a holiday in the 1980s, but were overcoats considered a cool fashion choice? I remember a ton on MTV videos featuring lead singers in trench coats, but doubt I saw any out on the streets where I lived. Granted, small and unhip sample size.

    The Ducks, during pregame warmups, show random shots of fans, with the obligatory arena rock music. But whenever they would show a fan wearing a jersey from neither of the competing teams, they would play this song while the fans laughed and booed.
