Sort of the low rent version of the Gap Playlists

Is it possible to be even lower rent than the Gap playlists?

I miss the low rent Xmas music you’d hear in stores years ago. It was real shitty!!

Eldergay here. As a high school student, I worked at a K-mart (this was 1977-78). We welcomed the Christmas music reel-to-reel as a welcome change from the usual reel-to-reel...which ran nonstop the rest of the year. Decades later, I can't get some of these terrible jingles out of my head:
1. "Texas Steers. Texas Steers. The best boot deal in years. A little bit o' loot buys a lotta boot at K-mart." (Set to music, of course).
2. Some awful, long song including the phrase "life is full...come fill your cup!" Ending with "K-mart is your savings store...where your dollar buys you more. They give your dreams a helping hand...at K-mart stores they [insert flourish] UNDERSTAND!"
...and don't get me started on the Blue Light Specials.
The only fun memory I have is of a store manager yelling at me and another employee who ended up with flypaper stuck to his sad, bald head.

They had ice cream sundaes at Kmart but the "whipped cream" was anything but cream.

It would be a dream for me to take 1000 bucks into a Kmart 1974 to buy things that they just don't make anymore!
Sets of old fashioned Christmas lights.
Cheap glass ornaments yet still made in Germany.
Quality toys MADE IN JAPAN
THICK made in America jeans. American tools. Old fashioned jockstraps for my American tool. Etc etc.

It's fun to leave it on as background music when you're doing something else

If Seasonal Affective Disorder had a soundtrack, this would be it.

It’s perfectly fine as Christmas background music. They might have edited that Kmart jingle out of the beginning, but then again maybe that’s left in to anchor it to a certain time and place.
We didn’t have Kmart in the New York area in the 70s, but I can see the music bringing back memories to people who shopped for Christmas there in the 70s.
You’d think I’d have a special fondness for Kmart, what with the Jaclyn Smith Collection and all....

Be a dear and pick mp the "Timeless" wig next time you're in store? Thanks, doll. Get yourself one too, my treat for your bother. I'll pay you back when you swing by to drop it off.

Been on a vintage Kmart obsessive streak lately. The aesthetic of Kmart, especially in the 90s, was the peak of American capitalism.

1970s K-Mart was delightful in its lower- middle class tackiness.

No need to slum with Kmart when there are a dozen Gap In-Store Playlists of Christmas music on my Spotify, including December 1997!

A lot of this music is sampled in Vaporwave, which I've been listening to a lot lately on YouTube. But I'm old, so I listen unironically.

The Abercrombie and Fitch playlists were way better. It really made you wonder who was picking the music, especially in the mid 2000s.

Aww poor Kmart got no love for Christmas. Just sad to think about even many millennials remember going there for holiday shopping and it now basically is having dirt thrown it’s grave.
