Don't understand the hate for Reet Petite. I have fond memories of it.

At the time I was working on a promotion, mundane office job stuffing envelopes and the like while listening to music on a Walkman.

Reet Petite was a favourite as it continually zipped back and forth from ear to ear, just a really fun track to listen to in that medium.
