I was at Macy's tonight looking for a new mixer. I managed to burn out the motor on mine by adding too much flour too quickly to some cookie batter over the weekend (also, it was very old). Anyway, on the in-store music, Lady Gaga's Pokerface was immediately followed by Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever. They actually played all 3 and a half minutes of Stars and Stripes Forever. And then they played Freedom by Wham.

I so rarely notice any of that musak stuff and would only recognize the Stars and Stripes Forever from the three that you mention, not having even heard of Wham. The Stars and Stripes Forever was "code music" used in the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire to mean "The Show is Over, All Animals To Safety, All Personnel to Fire Assembly Point"
