Hello Can you suggest some inoffensive, good songs for some shop music. Banned from the playlist are: Abba, Robbie Williams and dad rock. Some good examples of good tunes are: Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty I Want to Break Free - Queen Heard It on the Grapevine - Westlife (just kidding it was Marvin Gaye really) You Keep Me Hangin' On - The Supremes So, I hope you get the idea  Any and all suggestions welcome, no swearing please.

Add to that some Frank Turner (the clean tracks, I think a few have swear words in them)

Band of Horses - The Funeral?
Don't really pay that much attention to the lyrics, I don't think there's swearing in it.

use instrumental versions of songs.
Or do what the local supermarket does and stick a few portable radios around the place tuned into radio 1.

Blimey, I'd forgotten them. I have an LP on vinyl which I bought for one track. I was horrified when I saw them on the cover - that blokes pink jumper didn't fit my "hard man of metal" image very well. Mind you, neither did mine.

Reminds me of the Wayne's World 2 joke where the they go to get the applications (then after some dialogue skip to) Garth is having work done by a dentist during a Kenny G concert
