    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.   
      
    AA> --   
    AA>   ../|ug   
      
      
   Have you not heard of "Whamageddon"? It's when the *other* song plays...
