 WA>>> ?Enough is enough,? says Mr. Graham about Mariah Carey?s mega hit, ?All
 WA>>> I want for Christmas is You,? which plays incessantl..

 WA>> I actually like that song, but if I had to hear it (or any other
 WA>> Christmas song) 100 times a day, I think I would go nuts, too.

 AA> I haven't done the math but if the song literally plays 100 times in an 8

Ok.. I did do the math. To hear the same song "a hundred times  
a day", assuming a 9hr day, that would mean the same song would  
play about 11 times an hour, and considering that the song is  
about 3 min long, that would mean that the playlist is just 2  
songs!

Sure, I can accept that the phrase "a hundred times a day" is  
just an expression, but mathimatically, it would mean that TWO  
songs would be heard all day!  Therefore, it probably wouldn't  
matter WHAT those two songs are.  Just hearing the same two  
songs over and over (a hundred times a day) would drive anyone  
crazy.

I heard "Santa Baby" (hurry down the chimney tonight.. etc)   
..now THAT is one tune I can live without.
