Before we begin this blog entry, we just want to apologize for getting that awful and addictive ‘90s tune from the Rembrandts stuck in your head: “I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU…”

We only mention the “Friends” theme song because when we asked America’s hourly workers what TV workplace they’d most like to have a job, more than a third chose the coffee house in “Friends.” (By the way, the name of the café was Central Perk, and it’s based on a real life joint outside of Boston at Brandeis University.) A whopping 34 percent of the more than 6,000 respondents chose the coffeehouse.

Coming in second was the ER in “Grey’s Anatomy” (25 percent), followed by the “Reno 911!” sheriff’s office (20 percent) and the warehouse in “The Office” (14 percent).

Bringing up the rear was the anonymous diner in “Seinfeld” (7 percent). By the way, the diner is actually Tom’s Restaurant in NYC, which was first made famous by Suzzanne Vega’s 1987 hit song “Tom’s Diner.”

Whoops…now you have two repetitive, borderline annoying songs trapped in your head all day. Our bad.
