Pink Floyd music in odd places?

Has anyone heard a Pink Floyd song in a completely random setting?

For instance, most people know about Shine On You Crazy Diamond accompanying an oral sex scene in a late seventies porn film.

Also, I was listening to the classic early 90's comedy show On The Hour, and a snatch of Interstellar Overdrive accompanies a section on the 60's.

Your experiences?

I was in King Soopers a couple of months ago and heard Breathe In The Air on the PA.

In '83, I heard The Final Cut (just released) being played on a PA system at the local shopping mall. I remember thinking "Now there's some weird shit".

"Your Possible Pasts" could have been a great AOR FM staple... I've actually heard it on a soft rock station once

I was at an auto detailing/paint shop garage last year after one of my family members's cars was involved in an accident. These guys were going to do the repair/repaint work and we were getting a bid.

I'm sitting in this grungy place and from the speakers in the paint garage area comes "Young Lust" blaring out and echoing everywhere. It was really cool. It was on the classic rock station. After that they played led zeppelin...but i thought it was cool to hear Young Lust. That wasn't even a single I don't think.

The live version was, twice. And the Italian "Brick 2" single had a 4-minute mix of the album version on its B-side, with an extended intro and no fadeout. Worth getting, if you can find it.

The longer I am here, the more I believe you to be incorrect.

Botley knows EVERYTHING. Or so it seems...

HE is not a girl.

A didn't hear Floyd per se, but I heard the Durst version of WYWH on a grocery store PA on the anniversary of the WTC attacks.

That's okay, so did my philosophy professor.

I'm growing sideburns now, so hopefully that will clear up the long-haired confusion.
