If you find yourself walking to the beat when walking past a store that is playing music, do you break your stride?

no

I don't think so much about it
I only really pay attention to music that is good, and stores rarely play it.

Yes. I get embarrassed.

Sometmes

Why do you guys insist on shaming me at every turn? Horrible!

It's not like anyone cares.

Excuse me, - it's not like anyone who matters cares.

Humming maybe, dancing no.

hard to answer, i think, because it seems like the question and explanation are asking two different things??!!

if they're playing the stones I feel like it's all centered on me... so I kinda walk a little to the music

I guess maybe that's just in the bar

Like anyone would have the balls to challenge the way I stride....

depends on the song, but definitely sometimes

Always! I try to not do it, but I can't help it!

I can't help walking in rhythm when this happens no matter what the song.

I like the Bee Gees!!!!

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Time's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Are they the real lyrics? What the heel does the last line of the first verse mean?

Good God! You don't recognise the BeeGees...Stayin' Alive? From the movie Saturday Night Fever!!!!!!!
*sings*

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN???!!!" :-~

Pepperpot voice: "How should I know? I'm not Dr. Bloody Bronowski!!"

I don't think I've ever come across this little um....dilemma.

Mean?? MEAN?? It means... it means... Let's dance!!

I never notice.

To tell you the truth it is probably something simplistic like - The Beegees are sitting 'round the kitchen table trying to come up with lyrics and they're stuck so they just throw it in figuring no-one will notice and anyone trying to sing it will just go 'na na na la la la' when they get to that bit.

Good explanation.

No I don't care whos looking at me.I sometimes break out in a short dance.& If I know the words I will even sing out loudly.

No. I like to walk to the beat, but I'm probably not as exaggerated as the Bee Gees.

When I hear music I sometimes adjust my movement speed and steps to the beat.

I like the idea of stores playing various music loudly for pedestrians to hear. Sometimes I even turn down my Walkman so as to hear something different.

I guess if it's a song I like, I don't mind. If it's something I would be embarrassed to walk to, (like the song "Pretty Woman" or "Mony Mony" or "I wanna #$%@ you like an animal") then I would consciously break my stride. Good question!
