 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
 AA>> hour period the playlist is woefully short. I have a playlist of 140
 AA>> tunes (8-9hrs) shuffle mode and I don't hear the same song more than
 AA>> once.


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

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

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

Have you not heard of "Whamageddon"? It's when the *other* song plays...
