Company playing song every 2 hours to remind employees to “stretch”

I work at a grocery store in California that is considered one of the best employers you can work for in the area. On the “top 100” list and everything. Still, we are infantilized. Some idiot in corporate decided that their project of the year would be introducing a “stretch reminder.” This means a song in our store plays every two hours. Every. Two. Hours. From before the store opens at 4am all the way until our night crew comes at 11pm. And what is the song? The goddamn song we have to hear every single day multiple times a day? Uptown Funk. Morale is down, tension is up, and I can’t listen to another goddamn word of this song. Soon, I think we will all stretch during the entire song to retaliate.
