Speaking of "Bah, humbug!"

Some radio stations have started playing Christmas music, non-stop, from Thanksgiving until New Year's day. This is of course as shrewd financial move because the all the places who illegally use radio stations as their background music will tune in.
I like Christmas music, but there just isn't enough of it for twenty-four hours a day, for five weeks. But I'm one of the stupid ones: "Christmas songs COOL!", and that's where I tune the radio.

I like (for example) the song "Jingle Bells", but I don't need to hear it 700 times a day. Actually, just hearing it 700 times a day wouldn't be so bad. What's bad is that they have 700 different singers or groups sing it. That wouldn't be so bad if they would just sing it...

But (and here's the bad part) they all have to put their "signature" on it. So instead of hearing: "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way...", you end up with some abomination from some unheard of lounge singer, who imagines he's Elvis, singing: "Jingle Bells, Ji-Ji-Ji-Jingle Bell-Bells, Ji-Jinglle, all the, all the, all the waay..." or some other equally repulsive rendition.

And the worst part is, it isn't until the end of the song that you realize you actually listened to the whole thing. So you go to change the channel and... "Oh it's the Carpenters I'll just listen to one more"...
