The previous post about my trip to Waffle House reminded me to look into the possibility of buying a copy of the Waffle House music CD.
For people who don’t live below the Mason-Dixon Line, you should know that every Waffle House has a jukebox, and every Waffle House jukebox has about thirty songs about Waffle House products (most of the remaining songs are billboard country). Songs like "Waffle House Family" and "Good Food Fast".
I was on a road trip with some co-op buddies a few years ago, and we stopped at a Waffle House. Because that’s what you do on road trips, eat greasy food at roadside chains.
I slipped a fiver into the jukebox and, because I thought it was funny, selected all the Waffle House songs. By the time the third song started, I think it was "There Are Raisins In My Toast", a waitress who was not our waitress came over to our table to yell at me. The Waffle House songs were still playing when we left.
I think it is probably the most unintentionally destructive thing I’ve ever done.
So I was looking on Amazon for the Waffle House CD and I discovered that they do indeed have it. They are however asking $99. It should be noted that you can get the CD on the Waffle House website for $10.
I would like to further note that $10 is still too much to pay for this music.
