Pure nostalgia. This song will forever transport me back to a small coffee shop in my hometown during my college days. Can't believe it's been 8 years since this criminally underrated gem's release. Thanks for the memories!

@averynmitchell

Thank you, MOOD Radio, for playing this song across retail and grocery store establishments. We will always appreciate you.

Heard this playing in the 99 cent store I had to Shazam. Amazing song.

@rawkguy4896

Lol I just heard it at Food King

@DementedButtHole

I shall take this moment to thank the aptly placed overhead speaker in aisle 20 at my local Homedepot.

@fosterscheeseluver13

Lol I discovered it today thanks to cvs πŸ˜†

@scarletguard

I've heard this song in both ShopRite and Stop & Shop supermarket chains in NJ. They may use the same in-store audio network. Like others here, I also had to use Shazam, as searching for "SOS" will cause madness.

@averynmitchell

It's likely the chains all use MOOD Satellite Radio. That's what the grocery store I work at has, and I've heard this playlist at different grocery store chains also while traveling.

@PrinceMontrey

I shall also thank HD for playing this constantly!

@sespringstead24

I heard it at Safeway πŸ˜‚
