    Have you ever actually ridden in an elevator that played music? I’m not sure I can remember ever having that experience.

    Of course, I’m familiar with the term “elevator music”. And I don’t doubt music in elevators was a thing or anything. But I’m surprised to hear it’s a thing now-a-days.

    I think I’ve probably been in elevators in establishments where music was playing over a speaker system, and the music was audible in the elevator, but the music was never only in the elevator as far as I can recall.

      The self cleaning public toilets in my city always play an instrumental version of What the World Needs Now Is Love.

      It feels like it must be an inside joke of some kind. The song, without its singer or lyrics, is relatively unremarkable.

      I used to run a theatre and our elevator had a speaker. I could play whatever music I wanted on it. If we had a show in the auditorium, I would put that through the speaker, if I remembered to set up the matrix for it. I rarely did, so there hardly ever was any music playing in the elevator.
