The Muzak was playing

[kiku_hana]

Here's the context:

I walked in the store. "The Muzak was playing and Marlene was reading the Enquirer and gumbling about Burt Isker..."

The muzak is a name of a person?

(That Summer, Sarah Dessen, p.42)

This is the first time i see that name in the story.

Thanks

Muzak is background music for stores and companies -- sometimes known as "elevator music." Wikipedia has much more information about this pervasive art form.

Hi,

"Muzak" is "background music" - the light, often uninteresting music that you hear in stores.

OK on Muzak. But why is your thread entitled "The article "the"?

Kiku, don't forget to search for previous threads...

Here's one I found by putting muzak into Dictionary and thread title search at the top of the page: The Muzak.

A good reminder for us all... thank you.

Loob: Thanks
Spira: Because I mistakenly thought that Muzak was a name of a person ^___^ So I was confused with the article "the".
