Last summer..
... I had to earn pennies atfer coming back from travelling so worked in a pudding factory for a couple of months. The supervisor would only have one radio station blaring over the factory floor which was Heart FM. I'm pretty sure there was no DJ on the other end, just a continuously looping tape featuring:

James Morrison and Nelly Furtaro - Broken Strings
Daniel Merriweather - Red
Pixie Lott - Mama Do
Lily Allen - Not Fair
Beyonce - Halo

Then I worked at a frozen herb factory with Kiss FM, so I got treated to Black Eyed Peas- I Got A Feeling about 15 times a day.

If I ever hear the jingle "This is Heart", it takes me back to a darker time.

For similar reasons...
...Prince's "1999" always brings to my mind the smell of hot solder.

Hot soldier, mmm...

what kind of puddings did the factory produce?
details, madam, details.

Mostly the spongy variety… chocolate orange and sticky toffee were my favourite- nom nom!

Making summer puds made you look like Patrick Bateman after he kills Paul Allen with all the berry juice that went everywhere.

And crumbles which were immensely boring and time consuming to make as you had to scoop crumble into about 500 indivual pots every day. After a couple of months I had one really toned arm.

Still, more entertaining than the herb factory!
