I am being forced to listen to O Holy Night right now for the gazillionth time. Isn't Christmas over?

But “Unstoppable” by Sia sticks in my head endlessly if I happen to hear it somewhere. GAH!

I made the mistake of playing Spotify Christmas selections for about a half-hour. Inevitably, it was performers "trying to make their mark" on the song and thus rendering it unlistenable--or trying so hard to simulate the singer(s) on the original/most famous version, but not quite getting there, that what the hell was the point? Play the original.

Not in a HO-HO mood this year.

Maybe "Santa Got Run Over by a Reindeer" would be okay.

"Santa Got Run Over by a Reindeer" yes. "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus," too, maybe.

Turns out that hearing each of them 7,421 times before the age of 12 was enough for a lifetime.

"Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction
"Hey Jude" (unless it is a sing-along)
"Happy" by Pharrel Williams
"Cotton Eyed Joe"
"Thriller" by MJ
"Bohemian Rhapsody"

Xmas: "All I want for Christmas is you-oo" by Mariah Carey

Gotta say i have started listening to music at home again with headphones on and it sounds a lot better. The opening drum and rhythm on cripple creek is amazing.The quality of music in a vehicle over radio or satellite is low quality I am very tired of my SO's satellite radio channel.

1. Preset radio channels so it's easy to change the channel. This one is for a Honda.






2. There should be a way to turn off your radio as well, all vehicle manufacturers make this option. Here's a fix for a GMC radio that won't shut off. If it still won't shut off I recommend taking it to the dealer.

Most all modern country songs and rap or whatever it is called. If I was locked in a cell and they played them
on an endless loop I hang myself.

That tune never worked for me, even before I heard it every day for a month.

works at a retail place where they endlessly play XMAS music all day. Talk about a numbing experience.

Other than saying happy XMAS and happy holidays, I'm going to say:

Have a nice day and evening tonight!!

And by the way, I didn't know about the fuses being part of the upper front assembly of the truck!!! I learned something new!!!

Thanks!
