I have two for you, the first: the word "Reggaeton."
The company I run shipping and receiving for has three divisions, one of which is a DJ shop, turntables, records, speakers, foggers, etc. There are always a bunch of guys hanging out listening to stuff on the demo tables we have setup, and starting 2 or 3 months ago, they started using the word "Reggaeton" in every single sentence they speak.
"Hey bro, did you get that new Reggaeton beats volume 6 record? It has some sick reggaeton on it."
"No dude, I just picked up Reggaeton remixes volume 3, it's some of the best reggaeton I’ve ever heard in my reggaeton listening life!"
The second, is Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen"
Now, I never minded this song, never liked it either, but it certainly didn’t upset me at all. That all changed when I took this job because I quickly figured out that they must only play about 5 songs on that piped-in hold music (three of which are Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen"). I spend a lot of my day on the phone with our distributors, and I swear to god, I hear that song at least partially upwards of 5 times a day.
