Re:about a Beatles´s song: Musak
Hola, Desislava,

Musak is the trade name for what we often refer to as "elevator music," the very mellow insturmental versions of popular songs that they play in department stores, doctor's offices, and, of course, elevators. There was some scientific experimentation that suggested that this kind of soothing music calmed people down and made them less likely to do anything anti-social like steal or behave violently.

Of course, it doesn't affect me that way. I find it very irritating, and I have great difficulty NOT getting violent when they're forcing me to listen to the stuff.

Cheers!

You are not alone. :-)

Even if the arrangement were tolerable and the circumstances even remotely fit for listening to music, it will probably be interrupted with the shopkeepers' cheerful announcement of their oh-so-cheap products.
