There were a few musical selections I've heard here that were memorable. I got my head shaved with a straight razor in the hotel salon over the weekend by the local "barber". There was pretty typical kind-of background music on when I was sitting in the chair waiting for the guy to come in. Literally as soon as he started lathering up my dome to get started, "Unchained Melody" came on - think the pottery scene in the movie Ghost - I was petrified. There were no issues with the haircut, but I was really creeped out.
The second music selection I heard was during dinner at the continental restaurant in the hotel. Again, it was kind of low background non-descript music until I recognized the tune - it was an elevator music version of The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin.
The last was tonight. I walked over to the big mall that is near the hotel for food/kill some time. As I approached the McDonald's in the food court, Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" was blasting out of the speakers - now that's some Americana for ya!

Foreigner and 1992 Pamela Anderson? Wow. Good to see all that technology is bringing the latest and greatest to India.
ReplyDeleteDude, you're doing an AWESOME job chronicling the quirkiness of India from a Westerner's perspective. Keep paying attention and keep writing!
